Yup. Always saw a G.
How do you see a G?
I do too, but its just backwards
The first time I saw this video I felt so vindicated, no one else I knew so it is a g

Even as an adult I see a G
I’m guessing dyslexia.
Gyslexia
Downvoted but reversals and dyslexia used to be thought of as linked for a long time. These days, not so much, it’s just because they’re shit at writing (dysgraphia) and processing. They don’t even see the letters backwards.

Anecdotally, and perhaps ironically, they were right, I am dyslexic, and I definitely do perceive letters as permuted quite often. The second link really chuffs me because it’s clearly a non-dyslexic person openly speculating as if they’re authoritative, but this theory of “3d processing” words jives with neither other literature about dyslexia, nor my own experience. I’m pretty sure this is just someone showerthinking about a disorder. The errors I make are pretty incompatible with seeing whole words from the wrong “angle”; letters are switched, sometimes even between adjacent words (I might see “angle” as “angel”, or “and rain” as “an drain”), similar graphs are misread as each other (the classic example is [b / d / p / q], sometimes also g depending on font; [w / m / E], [e / a], [T / L], so on), words can be entirely displaced elsewhere in a sentence…
So yes, like, I definitely do see some letters backwards or upside down or mirrored, etc.
Mostly, I was trying to be funny. It did occur to me as a possibility, but I didn’t comment it in a serious way. I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a kid, but don’t seem to have that problem anymore. Either way, I have no idea where the original or any interpretation of it comes from.
People did not like it, though.
It’s fiiine, I thought it was funny and also possibly true
It’s still Gisnep to me
I never questioned the y but always read it as a G
I always read it as an Ð, which is am Icelandic letter. It kinda sounds like the “th” in “the”, so I read it as “Thisney”
I was so confused by this as a kid.
Try being a Scottish kid, where Disney means “doesn’t”
We all were
Thanks for the shot of “where did your youth go, old man”.
When I grew up it was borrowed VHS tapes of Disne(y/p). I was born with Disney on tape. I didn’t see Disnep+ until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!
Okay but the person you’re replying to is probably talking about being confused by Gisnep, which has been around a lot longer than Gisnep+
I always thought the first symbol was some backwards cursive G and it’s weird.
Gisney, pronounced “jizz knee”
I always thought the D was a G as the kid and kept wondering why the logo said “Gisney” if they were called Disney
I always thought the moon or circle at the start of Spielberg’s amblin was an O and confused about how to read it. Oh-amblin? Om-blin?

Honestly, it always was Disneϕ (Disnephi) for me

I still call it Disnep out of spite, if you can’t choose the right font you don’t deserve to be called ‘right’.
It wasn’t a specific font at the time, it’s an artistic rendering of Walt Disney’s autograph (which is actually easier to read than the original).
I always thought it’s spelled Disnep and pronounced Disney.
I mean English is not my native and you guys have crazier spellings.
