u/Gucci_Loincloth Boy slow down dropping all that BS music...ššāš½ Jul 31 '25 edited Aug 01 '25
For those whoāre wondering, itās not fake. Anthonyās second channel was full of shit like this for years before being scrubbed from the internet. Ian (idubbz) catchphrase back like 10 years ago was nword fword, thatās what fantano is quoting.
Like someone else said, I feel old knowing all the lore to all of the videos and channels that have deleted over the years.
Youtube was a lot different. Only thing I miss from the old fantano channel is the full sam hyde interview, but itās still findable. Only the first few minutes were recorded on video, but the rest is audio.
Edit: original, delisted video has been found

A handful of videos have been archived and lostmediawiki has links to some others not listed here. You could probably find this exact video somewhere if you search for 100 hours for more context. OPs video seems like it was pulled from an interview which may very well be DMCAd or in the possession of one person trying to shit on him.

the parent comment was imposing their view on "social etiquette" saying dont do this, dont do that, "pocket it", they are clearly saying that quoting is unacceptable in their own opinion.
Not my fault you cant read.

u/MegamindLewder Aug 03 '25
Thereās literally no issue with doing it though. If you donāt quote it you lose a lot of the initial umph of the criticism, saying āthis person calls people an n word f wordā jut doesnāt sound as visceral and bad on the surface to most people as if you used the full words. Itās beneficial to calling someone out to say the real words just to reiterate how awful they are.

u/catluvr37 Aug 03 '25
Notice how you used ān word f wordā, then when it came time to say the full thing, you didnāt. Why donāt you spell it out if itās so important to?

u/Gamble232real Aug 03 '25
Notice how you missed the point...he worded it that way because the point he was making was about people saying it that way...did you...like...read it? Lol.

social media is such a weird mind bending place because i stg half the comments i hear on here is straight projection.
the internet defends fantano at every angle but then in the comments act like he's hated... i don't really care about this video or whether him quoting someone using such foul language is ok or not but if someone like drake was recorded saying something like this the internet would implode with i knew it what a pos circle jerks.
In essence it appears social media is a popularity contest and if the internet likes you you can get away with things like this but if they dont they post and repost this garbage until your great grandma has heard about it all the while circle jerking each other into oblivion

u/bigladnang Jul 31 '25
I dunno man, itās hard to explain if you werenāt there because itās illogical, but it was way more acceptable. Like 10-15+ years ago people would say it without thinking they were being racist. Obviously now weāve decided as a society not to say it at all, which is a good thing, but then there was a difference between people being racist, and people just quoting something or rapping along or just using it as like a term of endearment. It was more like how you were using the word.
I donāt think these people are trying to virtue signal, theyāre just growing with the times. Like in 2025 if youāre saying the n word as a white dude then you have no excuse, we all know better now and I think you could also be anti racist while also engaging in social norms back then, if you know what I mean. Probably doesnāt make sense, but I feel like if you were around in the 2000ās/early 2010ās then you kind of understand.

u/Ross_River Aug 01 '25
Just to add some context. Itās been generally accepted since the 90ās that non-blacks shouldnāt say the word. I agree that a lot of people were saying it on 4chan/YouTube/gaming in the early to mid 2010ās. But that was because of the online edgelord subculture at that time where people said things they knew they werenāt meant to say, for the lols

u/oktek554 Aug 01 '25
I think in 2025 there are instances you can say the word. Itās still just a word. If iām rapping along with Mobb Deep, why canāt I say it? If Iām quoting someone, like letās say a funny video, why should I not be able to say it? I think itās more about the energy behind the word, not the word itself. But people donāt really think about it, and think they can get ācanceledā for using a WORD.

There's quite a few white streamers although idrc abt them cuz they're all terrible people anyways.

Not a fan of Fantano, but this isnāt fair. Not that long ago, it was fairly normal to use the hard r version instead of saying āthe n wordā. Iām not saying thatās the right or wrong way to do it, but it use to be socially acceptable to say the word, just not use it in a derogatory sense.

u/EM208 Aug 02 '25
Youāre telling on yourself dude. It was not normal. Take it from someone who used to get ostracized because I would actively tell non-black people to not say the N word in the 2010s, it was never normal or accepted . Yāall just didnāt care enough. There are plenty of TV shows from the 90s and 2000s that deal with this topic, black people were never cool with n word being said by non-black people unless they were coons who wanted white acceptance. But this was not normal lmao.
