My thing is: ok, spanish is a language forced on indigenous communities by way of Spanish conquistadors. Unless you strive to learn or revitalize an indigenous language instead: you're just touting personal ignorance. Regardless of the origin, its a lingua franca for latin american countries which means people speak it _constantly_ . Beyond that, indigenous languages have mixed with Spanish to create regional dialects, creoles, pigeon languages that are unique to their areas and speak to the resilience of indigenous cultures. You erase all of that when you just plug your ears and go "spanish bad".

Coming from a Mexican/Bolivian American, I think what makes the video even funnier besides the fact that she’s speaking in English is that I know she doesn’t even know the names of the native languages she pretends to be in tune with.

Seeing now that Primos is one year old, not even officially released, and still getting talked about how insane it is is actually insane. I’ve actually known about Primos long before its theme song even got shown to the public. I went to a class for arts and they brought in a worker at Disney who made both backgrounds and prop designs in animation, she worked for The Casagrandes and showed us some of the examples she made in the show like vehicles and buildings and even some concepts for backgrounds. She was so cool and showed us how we can build a portfolio and tips in the animation industry, it was great! But she also told us that she would be working on the upcoming animated show Primos, which NONE of us knew about. She was able to give very brief information on it and what she said made it sound like a cute passion project for the Hispanic community and discovering who you are as an individual in this little world. I’m Mexican-American and I really thought it was gonna be nice since she sounded really excited about it! Sadly once it came out… yeah, I agree with the backlash

[@momoko6917]

As a Mexican born in Mexico "primos" feels like it represents what many Mexicans and other Latinos are tired of seeing, many do not like stories of Latinos born in the USA because at the end of day those stories will never represent us. I don't know how to explain it but it feels stereotypical and sanitized, the poorly spoken spanish and the stereotype of the Latin family who always are there for eachother. Returning to the sanitized representation, I feel like Mexico it's just a difficult country to adapt to in a certain way, our culture is bloody, beautiful, painful and funny,terrible and great things happen at the same time here and that feeling it's just hard to capture. (Idk The only movie I have seen that at least represents my vision of Mexico is a mexican movie called "Museo" you should see it)

[@Silly-rvniii]

I do agree with you on that and I’m a Mexican who is a first generation of my family to be born in the US. Every time there is a show about Latinos living in a small house in LA where there’s like 20 of them crammed inside just annoys me. It is true that some families have that but it doesn’t mean we’re all together or happy about it like they are in the show. Most of the time you just have no choice because of your financial state or still having to wait on getting your papers and it’s better to stay with family than be on the streets. There’s a lot of challenges which I grew up experiencing and knowing them when I was in a house like that (and NOT in LA where the family always lives at for some reason ) not to mention how it’s so stereotypical to have the kids not know proper Spanish when there’s plenty of families who do teach their kids to speak Spanish and do it all day at home. It’s just lazy writing that this show does like all the rest that have aired before it.

[@cosm1cCa5Tper]

I’m waiting for a show that represents Latinos and Hispanics born in Asian and European countries and as a Filipino-Mexican myself, there’s barely even representation of Asian Latinos and Asian Hispanics and its disappointing to say the least. My great-great grandfather, who was a Catholic priest, arrived at the Philippines from Mexico during the time of Spanish occupation around 18-19th century-ish. And I agree, I always see representations of Latinos born in USA more than I see representations of Latinos and Hispanics born in Asian or European countries. Like we need a representation of the Filipino-Mexican community and/or the Hispanic community in Germany, France, or Italy.

The toddler character wasn’t the only kid with a problematic name. The unibrow gremlin is called Chacha, which here in Mexico is a despective term levied against house maids. There’s also the ongoing issue that yet again, the unibrow character is shown to be a gross, unruly creature instead of anything else, if the leaked episodes are any indication. American media is obsessed with unibrows as an ugly trait, and even with the sudden rise in interest in foreign media, there’s a concerned effort to ignore the plight and activism of people with this features; in this case specifically, ignoring Frida Khalo’s political statement about Latin American women and AFAB people with unibrows and hairy bodies. It’s kind of baffling that there’s so many tone-deaf decisions in this show considering how sanitized Disney likes to operate as a brand. Where were the Mexican and Latino sensitivity staff? How did no one catch stuff like “Terremoto Heights” and the fact that the show features a constant yellowish sky..?

[@splat-trainproductions]

Yet Squilliam Fancyson from Spongebob is viewed by everyone in the show & by the viewers as the most handsome & successful character in the series(the exact opposite of Squidward) and people love his unibrow. Just like how we call the Fat Controller from Thomas the Tank Engine by his real name "Sir Topham Hatt" even though the Fat Controller is a title of importance, not an insult(even though fat has been used on other characters as an insult, but that's beside the point.), yet Rolly in 101 Dalmatians the Series & Manny from Ice Age are both called fat AS an insult by other characters.

I'm going to say it as a native of LA and being kind of fitting in for what the show is aimed for (a hispanic, LA native that can not speak spanish and knows only broken words/phrases) Primos didn't offend me even through the controversies (except Cuquita because like come on that shouldve been a scrapped name during the initial conception) I saw what the creator was trying to accomplish, even on what people were criticizing. Some of the criticisms were nothings to me such as the large scale families, "Nacho" (which I can confirm is a nickname for those named Ignacio), and even Terremoto Heights's name just being tone deaf at worse to me since the creator was probably more focused on LA earthquakes, not Mexican ones that are the ones that tend to be a lot more deadlier. LA earthquakes are more just a startling inconvenience for us but the only deadly LA one in recent history was probably Northridge like thirty years ago. But again; didn't initially bother me but can see how people would feel a little iffy on that one But what the voice actor said, man. I'll be more of a hot take; I can kinda see what she was trying to say of the show being more for the outliers of those who dont speak spanish properly and how its more of the flaw of the protagonist to explain the intro being incorrect spanish but like, man, did she say it in the worst way possible It sucks a little because I like the idea of the show to represent what some call the "no sabo kids" because hell I would have loved that growing up, speaking as one.

But that "entitlement" (In the legitimate sense, not the colloquial, negative sense) only exists if you're in an hyperbolically "progressive" bubble that disregards all the systemic racism against the Native People of the Americas, and she was dropping some serious undertones that Mexicans without some deep connection to their ancestors are, like, missing out on something, or, whatever. Which just feels like when people say you're incomplete as a person because you don't go to their specific church or something.

I didn’t think a Disney Channel show would get more hate than Bunk’d, let alone a show that hadn’t premiered yet!

[@SimplySunky]

Primos is just another example of Disney half-assing representation for mainstream appeal while also silencing genuinely good ones.

[@FlinterWoof]

To everyone looking down here: I see you. Go scroll back up and finish the video first.

[@Aster_Risk]

No! You're not the boss of me. Lol.

[@halfsine]

no

[@jexxisahuman9073]

Nah sorry

[@BwooHuraca]

I already did.

[@SomeRand0mNerd]

The mc's VA had to have had a grudge relating to this show also that street name is like if you called a place in Chicago Hood Street

[@diegotigres95]

Never forget when Disney tried to trademark Dia de Muertos , a national holiday with prehispanic origins

[@Itz_Kwame]

Disney’s social awareness: …

[@Max25670]

This is the same Disney that tried to copyright the literal Mexican holiday "Dia De Los Muertos" until they faced backlash from the Mexican government. So they stuck with the name "Coco". True story. Which is why I was always against that movie.

[@robertfaulkkner5508]

Hey, another "Primos controversies" video to add to the collection!

[@Daria-Morgendorffer]

I just hate how the characters look so much lol

[@scarletweb2106]

Yeah me too

[@GoTenDu]

Then you're racist

[@hispanicwitch4929]

The best part about all the controversy surrounding Primos was that, in the midst of all this, a Peruvian cement company released a 12-minute short called "Protegiendo los sueños de Sol" (Protecting Sol's dreams), which featured Sol Segura, a 10-year-old Peruvian girl wanting to build a refuge for street puppies in her city. Despite being, in essence, just a cement ad used as well to spread awareness about the importance of safe building, people loved it. The original video already has 3 million views. It wasn't a response to Primos, because the Peruvian company had been working on the short for some years, but it being released in the midst of the controversy with Primos made people compared the two and people preferred the 12-minute cement ad than the average Disney Channel series. The first, despite being only just a cement ad, had more passion and dedication than the Disney Channel series, which, having watched the leaked pilot last year, I can only say it looked painfully average and uninspired, and not even the character dynamics could save it - it seemed like a bad copy of Good Luck Charlie, Stuck in the Middle and The Loud House.

[@toonaurz2620]

Anyone remember Maya & Miguel?

[@DrawciaGleam02]

I grew up watching it. 😊

[@jonelrobinson582]

Yes! I love that show!

[@chobies5383]

PBS kids and Qubo are peak fr

[@amberhawksong]

Fucking loved that show. 2000's PBS kids was amazing. Any of you remember Cyberchase? Apparently it's still going but the animation style changed and probably to survive it's not really about math anymore.

[@scarletweb2106]

I remember watching Maya and Miguel on PBS Kids Go

[@WayneGlensky-vx5er]

I have latino friends and they only got mad at this because they didn’t have the main characters sipping tequilla all the time

[@mysticpumpkin8520]

Your friends are based tbh

[@Max25670]

everybody clapped ahh comment. They should be drinking Modelo or Tecate, or Budlite if they really down bad.

[@Achilleanyaoiglands]

i like how i got here 33 seconds after uploading (also i love ur channel)

[@alejandrocasamalhuapa4977]

Natasha tried to explain why the main character spoke an incorrect spanish...but unfortunately, due to Myrna opening her big mouth about how spanish "doesn't belong to us", no one believes it anymore. If there is someone to blame to, that must be Myrna. I don't think this show would get a second season, so firing her will be pointless

[@NoHandle44]

0:34 The fact that I just watched the 3rd Cinderella movie, in spanish, yesterday, and I'm now watching a video about a spanish Disney show with a Cinderella clip in it just feels so surreal to me. 😅

[@MusingsMuses]

A few weeks ago a guy brought this show up to say "The reason we don't have diversity in animation is because we get shows like this and white people have a meltdown." and I had to tell him "No, MEXICAN people had a meltdown. The people this show is TRYING TO REPRESENT want this show dead and buried." I'm glad this show sounds overall benign but really only the Latino community can decide if this show is just being shallow and lazy or genuinely representing realistic but non-ideal life scenarios.

[@joegoat811]

Ask him why there was no meltdown for "Mucha Lucha" or "El Tigre"?

[@BobPantsSpongeSquare97]

For me the most annoying part of the backlash towards this show was seeing all over social media people from Latin American countries use the opportunity to sh*t on us Latinos born in the US in a weird way to tie us to the show. Essentially saying things like, "You're not real Latinos. You're gringo Latinos". And that our culture was not authentic since we are descendants from immigrants and not directly from Latin America. Like its fine if they didn't like the show's presentation but to drag other people down with it who had zero connection was pretty gross

[@bluebaron6858]

Why can't the show just be based on the creators experience growing up in the US.

[@FectoForgoGaming]

Why would they do that? That's like, going against why people would have backlash for the show.

[@mysticpumpkin8520]

​@@bluebaron6858.....it is that. Is the premise, a mexican-american growing in the US and the culture shock she has reconecting with her roots. Thats the joke

[@bluebaron6858]

@@mysticpumpkin8520 yet it's being overhated

[@sandyr5407]

This show makes people from Latin America think we don't know anything about our heritage or don't take it seriously. It's upsetting because some of us do *want* to connect with our culture and try to learn the language despite living in an English-speaking country. They think we're all ignorant. :/ Thanks, VA...

[@A88mph]

It's another show set in LA, because modern "writers" (or at least the ones the remaining networks hire) simply do not know of any other place on earth. Period! And as a result it limits their storytelling potential. For example, If I were to redraft Star Vs. I would have had Star and Marco's family living in western Ohio. I also would have Marco's family recently moved into the area from LA. This way, while Marco would still serve as Star's guide to earth culture and customs, they would both bond over the shared experience of living in new place. Plus, with the abundance of corn in western Ohio, Star would at least have a (very potent) comfort of home.

[@mysticpumpkin8520]

Actually, the reason is plain and simple. LA is the sector of the US with the biggest comglomeration of Latino immigrants and Latino-american diaspora. And in the case of Primos, because the creator iirc grew up on La and the show is based on her life. Is not that deep😅

[@valentinkambushev4968]

​@@mysticpumpkin8520LA, in general, has a very diverse population. Not only Mexicans, but also people from all over Eastern Asia and the Middle East.

[@themichaelconnor42]

Hey, i grew up in LA, and there's so many earthquakes there that Earthquake Heights is a funny name for a neighborhood and makes total sense

[@SigtryggrWithWhiskers]

I feel so proud that the entire latin community including myself bullied Disney online so hard to the point they are likely to cancel a cartoon. It comes to show that we can do great things when we work together 🙏

[@theumpireofthebottomlesspit]

Why? You guys are so cruel and immature! You know Disney had nothing to do with making the show? All they do is green-lit them? So bullying them for that is even more ridiculous! And PS the show is not cancelled. So stop making lies! And why do you want it to? If you don’t like the show then just don’t watch it. It’s that simple. Grow up and find other things to be mad about other than a Disney show that no one even Disney is forcing you to watch.

[@TheIrreverentUncleAl]

I just got back from watching Inside Out 2 and this shows up in my notificiations.
