Why EVERYONE Hates Disney's Primos 

It was a great time working on this with you Jay. Always a pleasure, never a pain And yes, I really have been called a fake Puerto Rican and I didn’t learn Spanish growing up. I tell no lies.

I feel like the worst part of the VA’s response is the condescending and spiteful attitude of it. It just gives off the vibe that shes solely making this just to “get back” at people who are just correcting a small mistake

"The spanish in the show is broken, and actual Spanish speaking people are pointing it out to us. Let's blame the colonizers!"

Brazilian here, portuguese speaker and working on the dubbing industry and actually thinking the LA translators job will be a real nightmare, considering all the adaptations disney do on topics like weight(the character named gordita), and all the stuff. This will probably be the same nightmare the brasilian translators dealt when adapting the names from star wars

Chilean here, I recently created a Chilean character and a Brazilian character for a story I'm working on, how did I choose their names? I googled "100 most popular names in Chile/Brazil", and chose Lila for the Chilean girl and Luana for the Brazilian girl. Idk I just feel like they could've done the same for the cousins in this show instead of calling them Nacho, Nachita, Gordita (chubby), Chacha (maid) and the one Jay referenced 🤷‍♀

Honestly, all the controversy for this show was so mild and easily fixable, that if that VA hadn't made that video it would have blown over by now. By making such a condescendingly smug video where she talked down to people with valid criticisms instead of letting the PR team step in and clarify that the broken Spanish is gringo slang and the main characters are second-gen, she basically tossed a firecracker on an easily cleanable gas spill and now Disney has to try and put it out before it burns the whole show to the ground before it even premieres.

"Spanish is a colonizer language" she says while speaking English

There was even a viral image where one of the crew members called these people grammar nazis. Yikes, Disney recently hasn't been doing very well and has been losing to companies like Universal and Sony. I don't know whether I should be disappointed or happy because it's Disney.

A big part about latin identity is how incredibly varied spanish can be among spanish speaking countries. In Mexico, we have thousands of words that people in Colombia either don't or use differently, same in Chile, same in Peru, Argentina, Spain, etc. And all of this countries take pride in their unique ways of speaking the same language If she thinks spanish isn't latin american culture, she cleraly doesn't know her roots or actuvely disregards them

This VA is a prime example of "making a mountain out of a mole hill". She took an issue, and not only made the issue more visible by talking about it, but amplified it by proceeding to act on the "moral highground" and begin to condemn those don't like the show, even throwing out the "its for children" fallacy to where "if its for children, it can't be criticized" argument.

If the creators had come out and emphasized that the reason the grammar is wrong is because the protagonist struggles with the grammar, I don’t think people would be as mad. I mean after all, there are a lot of kids that relate to that struggle. I’m half Costa Rican and learning Spanish has always been difficult. And because it’s always been difficult, feeling apart of the culture has been hard. I know a lot of kids can connect to that. If they had just left it there and not had any other people say anything, maybe they could have gotten away with it. But to double down, insult the language, not apologize and be so fucking smug about the feedback like the main actress, all it makes me want to say is fuck this shit. I’m out.

Mexican here, the problem with the VA's response is her attitude, also the lack of self awareness as she lectures us in ENGLISH, also Spain's spanish and latin American Spanish are two different beasts, so much so that we even have different dubs for media, that's why is such a strong point of contention, it's a colonizer's language but we made it ours and to have this lady not even be aware of that distinction just adds to the perception of her being arrogantly uninformed.

As a Mexican born and raised, I think the intention was good and it would have been an interesting take in the perpetual foreigner concept. However, Tater's VA was definitely what sent the show off the deep end for me

I AM SO HAPPY PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING UP ABOUT THE ‘LATINX’ THING.

The strangest part of that lady responding was how she decided to deliver her nonsense in an ASMR voice.

El Tigre may not be the first mexican themed cartoon show. But I believe it to be the most memorable.

5:29 That's an argument for teaching them the CORRECT words, lady. You don't reinforce ignorace; you teach them so that they can have a _better_ understanding.

I think the issue here is that everything looks bad out of context. For us Latin Americans, who live outside of the US, this looks low-key disrespectful to Latin-American culture. Yes, the incorrect Spanish sparked the controversy, but everything else in the intro also looked kinda bad: yellow filter usually associated with Mexico in American productions, "Terremoto Heights" - terremoto meaning earthquake - feeling like an insulting jab at a culture with very negative experiences with earthquakes, the aforementioned Cuquita, sneakers on the power lines sometimes meaning either someone was killed nearby or the area being drug dealers territory, etc. We didn't know the show took place in the US actually, it wasn't obvious enough, and the response of the voice actress, combined with the badly indicated sarcasm of the creator, made everything worse and worse. Now, most of Latin America have no idea of the real reasons the show's intro is how it is, they just think it was made by "clueless gringos" who didn't even bother researching into actual Latin American culture, when actually the culture being represented was americas with Hispanic heritage and extended latino/american families inspired by the creator's own experience. Staff should definitely be forbidden of responding to controversy because it never works, it always makes it worse.

The backlash with the racism and the incorrect Spanish words is completely understandable one of the reasons why I would watch this the least compared to other modern Disney shows

as a latina every time a person use latinx/e referring to latinos make me feel like "If you call me latinx/e one more time I'll show you why the crime rates in my country are so high"

Honestly, the show seems like that one show the Disney put out that everyone instantly forgets in about a week

Honestly, I could ignore the criticisms against Primos, but MAN the voice actor really dropped the ball hard to the point I can’t in good faith enjoy the show as a Mexican. Spanish isn’t JUST a Spain language now, it’s changed throughout the years to the point of different variations of Spanish have derived from it. Simplifying years of progression to just a colonizer language is insane. Along with that, the VA preaches of all of this, but fails to recognize that English is also literally a “colonizer” language lmao. I don’t want this show to fail at all, it is a good idea and showing how diverse hispanic families can be is amazing for children. I would’ve loved a show like this as a kid (shoutout to El Tigre) because I was in a similar position to the main character. But MANNN, it’s really hard to like this all things considered. Cuchita is mad funny tho

I think the main problem is that the program was mainly aimed at Latinos living in the United States, but the rest of the Latinos in the world(especially mexicans) only watched a program full of stereotypes, yellow filter, large family living together in one house, names that are not real names but nicknames(some questionable), a place called earthquake (which is a delicate subject for Mexicans and some countries) and the grammatical errors in the song which for someone who speaks Spanish sounds strange. I think thats the reason why almost everyone in Latinoamérica hate it. (the voice actress' response only made things worse) For me I dont really hate it but the intro makes me cringe

4:15 WOW! Did that lady just disregard the lived experiences and cultural heritage of six hundred MILLION people?

Yeah, as a cuban who doesn't speak much spanish I can relate to TheOGCrit. Even if she said "Oye primos" and this was based on her experiences no one would know that unless they watched the interview besides I doubt she had a hand in the theme so it was some writer who didn't know what the hell they were doing.

Meanwhile, back in the early 2000s: MUCHAAAAA LUCHA! Honor, family, tradition, donuts. I loved that show. Just as good as animaniacs, static shock, looney tunes, btas, etc.

Minorities criticizing a show: "That's not how the language works." Minorities who made said show: "WE ARE VICTIMS, WE ARE VICTIMS!"

5:03 Her talking so quietly just adds to the condescending words that she's speaking.

As a Hispanic, growing up with shows like Dragon ball Z, Pokémon, Yu Gi Yo were some of the shows me and cousins and felt like we associate more because we loved action and adventure which was something we loved to do in real life. Even tho they were Japanese in origin, we had just liked the shows because they were good! Now this concept of “representation” feels like a forced concept that Disney is trying to cash grab and creates something that comes out stale and disingenuous.

I just feel the need to point out, The problems with this show are not exclusive to this show, neither are they anything new, they've been present in American media for years now, but this series has just made it big enough for people to actually point it out to the degree they have

All things aside the fact that Jay used Google translate to pronounce a swear word is honestly hilarious

The term "Oye" is something mainly heard in Puerto Rican music, not to mention the song has a tropical feel to it, this would make more sense if the show was set in Florida or even New York but LA has about as much of a PR population as Alaska has a kangaroo population

We also have to remember that Brazilian people are also Latina/o!!! Everyone always forgets and it’s so annoying that we’re constantly forgotten about or othered! Like just because we don’t speak Spanish does not mean we aren’t latina/o and have not had the Latin American experience.

You know if Disney want a "latin american representation" especially for latin americans they could outsource a animated show from here and dub it in english and pass also in the United states. We have small studios that already worked for some disney projects. Cartoon network has some shows from LA but it isnt on USA tv unfortunally

The voice actor just made the entire thing worse and the best way I can see them saving this other than changing the "oye" and offensive names is by getting rid of the VA entirely. What that VA said was just straight up culture erasure and falsifying history (also where the hell does she think the word Latin comes from??)

THANK YOU for the "latinx" rant. I'm white but I think it sounds fake af anyway, and I'm glad actual people it applies to hate it, and even more glad you gave us an alternate word to use!

YO, as an Ecuadorian individual seeing the intro of this, as well with the "OYE PRIMOS," seeing a like to dislike ratio of 5K to 101K is well deserved for this show, I really hope it gets cancelled.

The video mentions "Stereotypes are real"... Thats the point, the bad reaction is exactly for that, people know what is real, the problem comes when in a universe of possibilities Disney chooses the worst ones to depict instead of the nicer stereotypes. There is a lot of foreigners shows (Japan, USA, Canada) making mockery of ugly stereotypes of Latin America (some ones really hurt) and we laugh about that because is cruel black humor, the problem with Disney comes when that show is not about satire or cruel humor, is supposed to be regular family friendly humor.

I feel like the issue with the opening could’ve been solved so simply. Like they could’ve have her cousins say the correct punctuation which will show the main characters disconnect to the spanish language/culture and could also show her disconnect to her cousins and such by them being more connected to the culture than her.

in my opinion "Mucha Lucha" did a great representation for the Latinos and the intro song is the cherry on top.

I am latin american, and you wouldnt believe how much hated is this show rn, literally thousands of latin american content creators have trash talked this new series, I have witnessed how non latin american people care at all, but latin americans are just straight mad

Even if the show was based on her life, that doesn't change the fact that it has an almost identical premise to Loud House, which is still on, and Casagrandes, that was only canceled recently. These shows are extremely relevant and you can't blame people for drawing comparisons. Even if she didn't intend to rip them off, someone greenlit this show and really should have known better.

- Latin americans speaking English: "pardon my subpar handling of the english language, it is not my native tongue, now i will explain in the following 25 page summary my feelings towards this show..." - The show creators speaking spanish: "¡OyE pRiMoS!"

The show’s location literally just looks like Los Santos from GTA San Andreas, down to the drug dealer’s shoes on the power lines. Did Disney really expect that people wouldn’t accuse them of stereotyping?

The VA video was just…unnecessary. “Oh, I mispronounced some words? Deal with it.” Honestly, I relate to the whole premise of the show. My whole family is Mexican including myself, yet I can barely speak Spanish. That hasn’t stopped me or my family from being able to communicate with one another, though.

People who say Latinx are most likely the ones that argue that chipotle and Taco Bell are authentic Mexican restaurants.

4:06 Mexicans speak spanish bc it was a part of the spanish empire the usa speaks english bc it was a part of the british empire brazil speaks portuguese bc it was part of the portuguese empire her logic dosen't make sence

The VA really poured gasoline on the fire It makes me feel bad for everyone else who didn’t say anything and just tried to make the VERY mild drama vanish But this random VA had to talk stupid Don’t really feels bad for that VA, she seems very condescending but none of the others deserve any of this

I wonder if it’s possible that the show intended for an aspect of it to be the MC learning Spanish and speaking more fluently as the show went on? Considering it’s based around how the creator never learned much, I think that could possibly have been one of the shows angle. Possibly even correcting the grammar in the intro as the MC learns more? I have no proof of this of course, just a possible theory of mine

I lived under a big house when I was young. All throughout my childhood, I either slept on the floor or on the couch without having a room of my own till I was 21. It genuinely wasn't a horrible experience because I always had a roof over my head and a large family to interact with.

Disney probably canceled The Owl House just for shows like these. Let that sink in.

The fact that in the song the girl’s cousin name is Gordita, meaning fatty

There are big differences between a person who was born and raised in a latin american country and one who was born and raised in a 1st world country who descends from a latin american country parents. We are different and raised differently and lol we just see the one born in the 1st world country as a gringo and not a real latino. There's nothing wrong with that, really. I think they are a community who deserves their representation as much as we latino/as from latin american do. But really? The LEAST they could do is have someone who speaks spanish in the team. (the whole "I didn't learn the language of my descedents growing up" is REALLY not a thing exclusive to latina diaspora, I hate when people use it as some sort of a gotcha. you are an adult now, suck it up and download duolingo)

I initially read the title as "Why Everyone Hates Disney Promos" until I saw it was referring to a show, not commercials for a show or movie

I've said this before and I'll say it again: "We're doing it for kids" is often used as a shield to deflect criticism, as if something being made for kids shouldn't be criticized. NOTHING is beyond critic, and if something is made for kids, it is doubly deserving of criticism because something inappropriate can teach all the wrong lessons that kids might end up carrying until adulthood.

If you guys wanna watch a mexican cartoon, watch Book of Life, Coco, El Tigre or Mucha Lucha, because they're not racist.

El Macho from Despicable Me 2 is a better representation of Mexican people than anything in this show so far

It's such a shame since, as you said,, I'm pretty sure the "Oye Primos" thing could probably just be personal broken English that the creator of the show had as a kid. And maybe it grew into an endearing phrase that she remembers saying back in the day. As a Latin American person, I used to have A LOT of broken English as a kid. Like saying "imprimido" instead of "impreso" (means "printed"). I wouldn't be surprised if later on they make an episode that mentions that "Oye Primos" is incorrect and it's actually "Oigan" because "Oye" is singular. The main character is a young girl, after all, it makes sense if she speaks broken Spanish because she's either young and doesn't care or just because she doesn't know any better. I dislike some of the character designs, but I do hope it turns out to be a good show for the people who DID just want to make a good show.

So basically the Main Actress shot the show in the foot. No not even in the foot, right in the chest

I'm just to confused by the response, why didn't they just fix the mistake XD? It's so weird that they're fighting changing "Oye"

as a Mexican, let me explain why is it so important to use "Oigan" instead of "Oye", "Oye" is singular for "You" on a rude tone, you should only use "Oye" when it's an emergency or it's that important to disrespect somebody, while "Oigan" is plural for "You" but instead of being rude is just referencial to a group of people to guide them, if the author of the song had any experience with talking latinamerican spanish (very different from Spainard Spanish) should had notice this detail, but instead they just mock Latinamerican culture as a whole, but belive me this is just the point of the iceberg, if you read the lyrics you can read the following names: - Gordita (means "Fatty") - Chacha (common slang for a housekeeper, and the reality of these individuals is virtually hell) - Cuquita (on Spainard Spanish means "cute" but... this isn't a Spainard Spanish reference, on Latinamerican Spanish that's basically "Pussy" like the Slang for sex) The character design is gross but that's just my POV, and I belive that the only people who would see this series would be the ones that had no contact with Latinamericans at all, probably for the best because if we consider the intro has the intentions and quality of the entire series then we can expect a lot and I mean a lot of missconceptions of an entire culture that will end up causing some severe social issues, hope this either get fixed or that it will not have an impact at all

i feel the creator was going about with a good heart. but the way the created the show is just bad and then with what the VA said just killed it for me.

Why did I feel the entire time I was watching that VA's response like I was missing a prime opportunity to permanently remove a faulty set of genes from the pool? How does somebody get THAT SMUG good lord that was painful

Honestly if Disney wants to even remotely save the show that va gotta go. She single handedly ruined it genuinely not even mad over the actual show at all but the way she handled this situation really showed her true colors

I can see where this is going. The show won’t be horrible, but it won’t be good either. The people who like it will try to defend it as a masterpiece instead of just liking it. The people who hate it will be extremely vocal about hating it. The people who think it’s mid will be lumped in with the people who hate it by the defensive side. Based on how they acted after the intro backlash, the creators/voice actors will pull a Seth Rogen from Santa Inc., and call all the haters racist and misogynistic even though the vast majority aren’t, and the creators are actually doing a bad job. And EVERYONE will forget that this is a CHILDREN’S SHOW, and they won’t get the opinion of the actual target audience. God I hate the internet.

That lady trying to tell us about how conquistadors force it on us and telling people to "stay mad then" is just so annoying and want her to just close her social media. Even if she does good things.

I think another problem I had with the show was the marketing itself. It was marketed as show for a person from a culture particularly outside USA I mean it is except from one glaring problem, the main character herself. The fact that we are surrounded by Latino people is good BUT the MC herself is what we call a "diaspora". A term used for people of a culture who grew up outside their culture. If they only advertised this as such, I would have little to no problem with it, but alas. Its like me as an SEAsian received a show about a SEAsian kid but instead I got a SEA kid who grew up in California instead and claims what he's doing is my culture. Kind of insulting, innit? Dont get me started on what the VA of Tater did as well as the term "Latin X" (which mind you is now considered a slur or an invasive language) Also for all Diasporas like your friend, its not up to other native people to decide whether you are a fake (insert race or country here) people will think what they want. But what you should do is instead of crying afoul about how you cant relate at all, you instead at least respect, learn, and mingle with the culture. Learn basic language! Cook and eat our food! Learn about your history! Because you know, it feels nice and heartwarming when a diaspora willingly tries to learn the culture they are supposef to be in.

I grew up in America with my brother and my Puerto Rican mom. My Peruvian dad occasionally visit whenever he's free. From 5 to 10, I had no idea what they're saying in Spanish and both speak different in their own take on Spanish. But I understand based on gestures and few English they used. Now, I can speak and understand both languages. 10:02 I have been there too. When I came to Puerto Rico at age 10, no one wants me in elementary school because I have Asperger's and I can't understand Spanish. Mom fought and lecture them until they caved but still try to find cause to get me expell, like how I hold my spoon or when the bullies bothers me or when I thought school ended and accidentally skip half of the class. What's hard for me is that no one believes I'm Puerto Rican because my accent is American like so they always call me gringo and I was deeply confused. Nowadays I'm now accepted that I am Puerto Rican Peruvian with Jersey accent, through and through.

I myself am not directly from a latin american country, but my wife is, and she has voiced her opinion about this show a lot in a way that I wish would've been brought up (the town's name translating to earthquake, the character names, the dirty environment, it may be how the creator grew up but that doesn't mean it should be the entire show, et cetera)

I'm an Argentinian, and I'm just been an amateur speaking English, because is my second language. Personally, I consider that learning English is one of the most difficult things I'm doing, even if I have a professor in the subject. But, hey, I'm working very much to acquire this knowledge throughout a year, and this people didn't learn some of the basics of the Spanish? Is that so expensive some Spanish classes in USA? I hope someone can explain this to me. PD: Did I make a good sentence, right? I wish I did

You’d think that the contract these people had to sign to work on this show would include some stipulation against taking to social media to respond to backlash without at least consulting PR first. Unless they’re the ones who approved Ms. Velasco’s response, then this show’s in even more trouble than anyone thought.

One time when my brother was like 7, he accidentally cursed in Spanish front of my Tejano Nana because he didn’t know that word didn’t just mean ‘butt’. He got a little smack on his in response.

As a child of Guatemalan immigrants. My spanish is still being corrected by my family in the two decades that i've been able to speak. The main character bungling their spanish grammer is the first time someone like me has been represented. lol. My brothers can't even string a full sentence without it becoming a mix of words from both languages.

I watched a Hispanic creators videos of this, (The Angry Mexa) and I’m glad it’s getting more attention. ❤ It’s so gross that the creator of the show isn’t being accountable for the many bad parts of this. We aren’t “hating on her” for no reason. We want to not be represented by harmful stereotypes and slurs for names.

How did Disney go from Encanto to this

LatinE is wrong, is latinO, for a neutral use

The Casagrandes was so much better

El Tigrè, Mucha Lucha, Dora & Diego is where i learn some Spanish words

This is modern MODERN Disney is ANYONE really expecting anything good

Ahh, thank you for this video! Specifically, *thank you for telling me about the term "Latine"*, because I had no idea what to use. I saw "Latinx" being used by a lot of preachy social-conscious minded people (specifically the angry yell-y types) at the time, so I thought that was the preferred term. This will serve as a reminder to me that just because an individual presents themself online as an authority on what is socially just doesn't mean they know anything, *especially* on Tumblr.

I have said this in another video addressing this; it's more interesting watching how the Latino/Hispanic communities openly mock it and even compare how the characters of their cartoons look from cartoons not made from Mexico than the show's premise itself. Aside from how the voice actress errm "owned the haters", at worst, the show looks mediocre and very standardized for a modern Disney cartoon.

Thank you for your concern on the term, I’m just going to correct you a little. In Spanish, masculine nouns and adjectives are inclusive and already encapsulate all genders. Just use ‘latino’ or ‘latinos’ for plural, since it is incorrect to make up a new form with the letter ‘e’

The VA's response feels like the most out of touch, chronically online response ever

I got called a fake puerto rican on vrchat by some knuckles for not knowing spanish 😭

I would of understood if the creators just said “oh she doesn’t speak Spanish and it’s kinda broken that’s why it’s incorrect” I would of gotten that! But the VA of the main character making that video telling everyone your wrong and saying incorrect information on the language, makes everything worse. Like I’m sure she’d not speaking for the whole staff creating the show but she shouldn’t have made that video at all because it makes things worse for herself and the people working on it. Because everyone will only think negatively about the show after that and never give it a try. I’ll still watch it even if the main theme is questionable (though catchy). Maybe it’s not as bad but I still wish she hadn’t made that video on insta because she made the situation a lot worse..

I've spoken with Myrna on social media before and have had positive interactions with her, she even gave me kind words of encouragement while I was going through a dark period of my life a few years ago. I was friends with her on Facebook from 2019-2021, then something happened after 2021, where she mass unfriended people on Facebook and then deactivated Facebook. Then she would delete her Twitter account the end of 2022. Then a little while ago she turned off Instagram comments on her posts. She needs psychiatric intervention I feel, but good luck getting through to her unless she fully trusts you. I wonder if the pandemic exacerbated her too 😔

1:56, At least she was almost close

Ngl the song is catchy tho. That one promos part is stuck in my head lol

I prefer Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur over Primos (and Moon Girl deserves to last more then only 4 seasons! 5 or 6!)

Well Im mexican, not a mexican living in the US, living in Mexico anddddd truly this video doesnt cover nearly most of the reasons why latinamerican people hated.this intro so much, theres a lot more racist meanings behind many names like chacha which is a slur, or the shoes hanging the cables... That means that a dru g dealer is nearby. Sure, the creator can tell her experience of growing up, but at least a little bit of research wouldnt be so bad, like, Gravity Falls was censured for MUCH less than this series. But yeah, hopefully the hate will calm down

Interesting idea for something they could do about the character names: have it so that those aren't actually their names. Specifically, they all have fairly typical Spanish names, but Tater has no idea what they mean, so she just calls them the stuff from the intro because that's what it sounds like to her. Eventually, she learns how to actually pronounce their names, but the older stuff sticks as weird nicknames. What do you think of that?

I love how everyone agrees that the VA just made this whole controversy worse LMAO

A franchise: *Exists* Disney: I can milk you

1:19 I would recommend the term "latin" : latin american, latin men, latin women, latin individual, and so.

I think the issue is that, even if the US market is the main focus, Disney marketed the show as a portrait of a Latin American household, when it is Latin American household in the US with kids bornes in the US

Watching through this, I generally agreed with most things, besides the note about knowing what people would react to things like the name of the city, or the names of characters. That's something that is done by having a diverse group of people in the decision making booth; having people from different backgrounds helps eliminate most of those issues, and with this show, it seems there is no easily accessible way to see who worked on the show besides the voice actors, and the creator themselves.

This video and the creator lady’s family actually reminds me a little bit of my own family. I have close to 100 cousins from my mom and dad’s side of the family combined. Most are about a decade or two older then me, and I can only remember a small fraction of their names.

Ok there is one point i wanted to make, one massive issue for many latin american people outside the usa is that when latin america is represented it is nearly always related to mexican culture and traditions. Latin america is quite big and many countries are not being represented at all , is ike thinking France and Russia have the same culture just for being both in Europe. A person in mexico has very little in common with an argetinian, a colombian or a chilean in every way imaginable. And sadly i am not only speaking for this show as for example how i met your mother put mariachis in spain...

1:20 yeah i wouldnt be going around telling people to use that either, the whole "gender neutral" thing in spanish is like trying to fit the square peg in the round hole, the language inherently gendered, even objects have genders, and some consider the whole idea of introducing gender neutrality to spanish to be americans trying to push their ideologies into the spanish speaking community That being said, atleast "latine" seems to have been created by a spanish speaking person, so its better in that sense But basically it boils down to, one term might make people mock you or insult you, the other might make people threaten you with violence

How is anyone supposed to watch this disney infested nightmare without having their partner give them cuddles first? :/
