[@apollofell3925]

I was one of the people who subscribed to GradeA in the beginning (it's funny to hear Vaush, a year older than me, say it's not his generation), forgot he existed, then when I eventually remembered him and rewatched his content went, "Wow, this really was not that funny to begin with, this is what I liked *before* I smoked weed?"

[@KrowwJaeger]

Same here. I was like 19-20 when I watched him and enjoyed his content. I can't fathom what I found appealing cause it's just pure cringe. I still think that other creators I used to watch back then like Filthy Frank were hilarious even to my current self but this guy is just embarrassing.

[@apollofell3925]

@@KrowwJaeger I wasn't watching filthy Frank but get this, I *was* a Sargon subscriber. I actually remember Vaush debating him cuz I watched it from Sargon's side.

Saying you were "gypped" was very very common for a long time, but I hardly hear that anymore. Maybe it's partly because knowledge of the etymology of the word stopped a lot of people (including me) from using it anymore. I catch myself almost saying it even today, it was so ingrained from my youth hearing others say it so much.

[@briannelson27]

yeah, i think that it is probably a combination of slang changing and less people using it (you and me after learning about it). I doesnt have a chance to spread if the youngins dont hear it and we have yoink.

@@Linkman95 Either it's unclearly stated or I'm just stupid. Are you saying bigotry against the Romani has never been a big thing (or a thing at all) in the US?

Granted, I can only speak for the western US, where I am. Don't know about the Middle US or the East.

The first time I heard the word 'Gypsy' was when I watched Hunchback of Notre Dame as a little kid. I thought when people called Esmerelda 'Gypsy', they were referring to her occupation. So for the longest time I thought 'Gypsy' was a job where you entertained people in a parade.

[@devinphillips9704]

Yeah, the notion that "Gypsy" is a racial slur has never fully taken root in American speech. And in a lot of ways it's also been completely decoupled from Romani people, as more of a description of a particular aesthetic or lifestyle. Hell, we have people who've named their pets, even their KIDS, Gypsy. They obviously wouldn't have done that if they knew it was racist or reductive. I'm not saying it's okay to use it, or defending people who insist on using it, just pointing out that our ignorance of it is not necessarily malicious.

[@TheLittleNoobThatCould]

My friend named her cat Gypsy because it was a stray she saved before it got run over in the street. I don't think it's harmful to equate 'Gypsy' with 'Nomad' at least.

[@vi.vi.vi.vi.vi.d]

@@TheLittleNoobThatCould While yes I don't think that usuage is as harmful as when its used more targetedly, it does still represent a caricature of the Romani. I think its similar to sport teams using "The Braves" or " The Indians" as a mascot, even if it isnt malicious it flattens a whole culture of people into a character.

[@trianglemoebius]

@@vi.vi.vi.vi.vi.d That's the thing, though, people in America don't associate Romani and Gypsy. The stereotype of the gypsy is entirely divorced from the ethnicity of Romani. When Peaky Blinders came out, a lot of Americans were introduced to the Traveller Peoples, who (due to the time period the show is set) are called Gypsies in it. I - being an immigrant from the UK - will sometimes end up having to inform people this is a slur, and they're confused. Because in their mind, "Gypsy" doesn't refer to Romani people, so the context is lost, it's more like a job description, or maybe a "term for people who live in caravans". So, there's no ethnic usage of the word. As far as Americans are concerned, if the whitest dude imaginable took up living in a caravan and travelling, he'd be a gypsy.

I'm sorry, but doing the whole "Shane Dawson, Idubbz, MaxMoeFoe and Filthy Frank radicalized people to into the alt-right because they said no-no words" is one of the things that lead to Trump being popular among median voters in 2016. Notice how Kamala seems to be mostly shying away from the Hillary Clinton post-Gamergate PC outrage and focusing more on the REAL issues at hand, such as Trump being an existential threat to America, she seems to be doing pretty good.

I think many people don't care about politics and see symbols as nothing more than that. I still do for a lot of things, I'm just trying to be aware but I feel like I'm just repeating stuff.

I was 15 when I discovered gradeaundera. I am 24 now. Vaush's imitation of him was hilarious.

[@greechen3080]

My life was so much better before I was reminded gradeaundera exists. Had no idea he was still making videos.

4:04 Isn't Seth Jewish himself?

[@thatvillainjay]

Yes he's stated a few times he's ashkenasi jewish

[@QuartzIsAnOxide]

I think I watched like 2 Grade-A videos before finding Casually Explained, which is just infinitely better.

Thx for the PSA on "jipped", I didn't know it's for gypsy either

[@musicf3b]

Didn’t that guy fall off years ago? He died with anti-sjw KZbin

[@pyro7715]

I remember when my algorithm fed me GradeAunderA sometime in the last few years. I fkn HATED him cause his whole voice/personality pissed me TF off. This doesn't surprise me.

[@Crowstal]

He literally acts as if he's been frozen in time since 2016 and is still in the gamergate era

[@Palemagpie]

He had one good joke. Like ever. about how girly drinks taste like fruit, or nice things, and manly drinks taste like lighter fluid.
