  • Fun story: I used to be a Tristan Tate fan. Now, now, put down the pitchfork, I can explain. Back before these two blew up, I kinda knew who Andrew Tate was and the kind of content he made but had never actually watched anything he put out. One day, scrolling YouTube shorts, I was served a video of a guy saying shit so ridiculous that I couldn’t help but laugh. I then noticed his name was “Tristan Tate” and thought to myself “Oh, he must be a satire of that Andrew Tate guy I’ve heard about”. For the next several days, I watched almost every Tristan Tate short I was served — I couldn’t believe how fucking good he was at satire. Then I got served one where he talked about his brother and everything clicked in my head. I guess I’m grateful I never shared anything.

    When Spain invaded Latinamerica, they recorded the language of the natives phonetically but there were a lot of sounds that didn’t have an Spanish equivalent so they just wrote X for all of them and now they’re trying to retroactively fix the spelling of several words so you’re kinda right. For example, Spain insists México is spelled Méjico.

    Edit: Apparently, as of recently, Spain no longer insists México is spelled Méjico but still keeps it around as a correct spelling (it’s not, it’s literally only them).
