This war was personally very tragic to me. I have friends named Tim and Tom... who happen to be brothers. This war literally turned brother against brother.
“Peeping James” just sounds so much more creepy than peeping Tom. It reminds me of that art piece than reimagined common food brands as fancy, high-class food items, calling SlimJims “Slender James”.
I remember that Austin: my cousin was part of a group known as the A gang where every person with an A based name was neutral during the whole event. My cousin told me that the Austin that made the innocent post was cut down and torn asunder as if they were nothing more than a piece of meat in a pit of stray dogs. "He may have had the most common name out of any of us but what made him special was that he was oblivious to the war that went on and that made him the most unique Austin out of any other Austin" - Andrew, A gang leader.
Main stream media not reporting on these wars really tells me all I need to know about the world - thank you for shedding valuable light on these conflicts
The words "reddit" and "wars" together brings to mind the sweatiest mental image of basement dwellers aggressively clacking away at a keyboard, mobilizing to fight the existential threat of education, employment, and being made to touch grass
Isn’t that more the 4chan crowd? Reddit is full of Uber woke college kids that know so much more about life than you do even though they have never held a real job, haven’t lived in a real home/apartment they are paying for and never have been in a real relationship with a real human.
This was proposed, but the Toms looked into his background, and questioned if his neutrality was true. Some militaristic Toms accused the Tims of trying to play dirty, and the war continued.
Shhh, don’t give the game away… we are far more subtle & stealthy in our approach. While the men are running into battle like headless chickens, the Blair’s, Sophie’s, Jane’s and others have been quietly plotting in the background… our Alexandra contingent has successfully infiltrated the Alex’s, while the Jamie’s have the James’ wrapped around their little fingers. They have no idea…. 🤫
It's wild seeing something that I've been invested in for a while pop up here lol. r/Zach wasn't very active (likely since r/Zack wasn't, our hated enemies), but we did join the United Names (UN) when it was proposed.
The only thing I care about when it comes to the names subreddits was the post on r/Kevin (I think), which was basically a "goodbye" post where OP announced her transition, and everyone was very supportive of her, saying they weren't losing a brother, they were gaining a sister.
Many Kudos with a white shirt and hair back looks like a discount romance novel cover character you see on questionable novels for desperate housewives while waiting at the checkout at the local small supermarkets on the shelves amongst the chocos.
This was beautiful and gave me a much needed laugh... real-talk tho: my dad is a Tim and his brother was a Tom so this would have made family gatherings real awkward.
Girl names don't fight because we know we're hopelessly outnumbered by Mary/Marie/Maria, at least until Madison, Mackenzie, and the aylee-ayla-aydens come of age. Even I was almost given Marie as a middle name lol.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the Josh fight. You know, that time like 200 Joshs got together in real life to engage in a battle royale to decide the One True Josh? Because that happened.
@@BonktoHead ah, cool! There was a LEGO commercial from my childhood where the song was about a kid named Zach - besides being catchy, it was the 1st time I'd ever heard the name 👍
The best part is that I've actively been in a Facebook group dedicated to people named Ian for a couple of years now, and we've taken our own mini wars in recent times. Like the Nicks
The fact there is no r/Henry as someone who's middle name is Henry, and no r/Melvin, as someone with melvin as a screen name, offends me deeply. Going onto reddit to form r/Henry and rally my peoples
I suddenly felt consumed by burning hatred of every Jeremiah who refers to himself as "Jerry". I googled reddit, but it returned a message: "You're not authistic enough, Jez", and my pet ice cube concurred.

Pouring one out for all my brothers and sisters whose names are so unpopular that they don't even have their own subreddit.
You are one of the lucky ones
Pouring one out for people who use Reddit...
we melvins were left to die. but also the wars were before my time
@@bipolarminddroppings LOL FR
nearly all the girls names are porn subreddits or banned for being unmoderated and thus porn subreddits its a shame
I never knew before that people experienced solidarity based on shared first names
Me too, Krombopulos.
I don't see why not, it's a perfectly cromulent reason
I've never even spoken to someone with the same first name
I treat my name like the highlander, there can be only one
How do you do fellow Krombopulos?
This war was personally very tragic to me. I have friends named Tim and Tom... who happen to be brothers. This war literally turned brother against brother.
A tragedy as old as time
damn, hope they repaired their relationship
Indeed. My dad and his brother also caught up in this horrible war
@@feyfolken1655 Father against son, even worse. I'm sorry for your tragic loss, so do you have one less dad or one less brother now?
@@ManyKudos Well, one of them was adopted. I forgot to mention that. Also you're the best man, that other guy... internet documentarian?? not so much.
“Peeping James” just sounds so much more creepy than peeping Tom.
It reminds me of that art piece than reimagined common food brands as fancy, high-class food items, calling SlimJims “Slender James”.
I've heard Peeping Tom so much that I don't even think of the word Tom as a name anymore, Peeping James makes me think of an actual creep named James
Reminds me of how Laughing Larry sounds somehow eerier than Lanky Larry

One of my childhood friends, WatchPeopleDie (I believe that's a german name) was heartbroken when he checked.
@@Tom_Videogre my cousin shares that name too and didn't understand why they couldn't join. My sister, Ja ilbait? Same damn thing.
why did you make me look
The burdens of being named after a saint is that the name is eternally taken.

The chemistry between these two is insane, I love when they collaborate!

How is Austin more common than Andrew or Adam?? I've never met an Austin in my life...
Thanks for the great video, Internet Historian.

This means WAR

The Trojan Horse gave me a laugh.
The WHAT

As a Matt , I can confirm we are the mercenaries of name based warfare
I don't know why but I absolutely love these silly/petty Internet "wars", where a group of people get so united and patriotic over something so stupid
Its like a healthy way for us to get our tribal tendencies out via LARP
The words "reddit" and "wars" together brings to mind the sweatiest mental image of basement dwellers aggressively clacking away at a keyboard, mobilizing to fight the existential threat of education, employment, and being made to touch grass
The reddit geneva convention outlawed touching grass; declaring it"barbaric", "extreme" and "outside"
Sounds like a 90s Cartoon Network show
Isn’t that more the 4chan crowd? Reddit is full of Uber woke college kids that know so much more about life than you do even though they have never held a real job, haven’t lived in a real home/apartment they are paying for and never have been in a real relationship with a real human.
@@giantroboteye5371 /r/outside is just a gaslight operation to prevent people from leaving their basements.
I just wish they'd gotten the UA-camr TimTom to mediate all interactions between r/tim and r/tom as a neutral party, or even to unite them in peace
Holy shit that’s genius.
This was proposed, but the Toms looked into his background, and questioned if his neutrality was true. Some militaristic Toms accused the Tims of trying to play dirty, and the war continued.
As a woman, albeit with a unisex first name, I’m devastated to have missed this 😂
Sounds like something a spy from r/Tim would say…
Blair imani?? Never thought I'd see you here lol
me too -- and who knows what crimes were done in my name -- for my name's sub is banned.............
Shhh, don’t give the game away… we are far more subtle & stealthy in our approach. While the men are running into battle like headless chickens, the Blair’s, Sophie’s, Jane’s and others have been quietly plotting in the background… our Alexandra contingent has successfully infiltrated the Alex’s, while the Jamie’s have the James’ wrapped around their little fingers.

I like how Internet Historian died as a king, then came back as a warrior XD
Wut why furry watch?
The fact a James issued the creation of the United Names is both poetry and pride.
- James
"i will not be inTIMidated by your TOMfoolery" is probably the best line out of the entire war LMAO
If the female name subreddits weren't so weird a Jessie/Jesse subreddit would've definitely been crazy powerful
Now I'm thinking of Jessie and James from Pokémon
Pretty sure Jessie/Jesse is a gender neutral name though
@@MarbleSodaPop That's the point, because gender neutral ones would have alot more
@@JimboniumF Lmao no they wouldn't. There aren't more people named Jesse than Ryan just cause it's gender neutral.
@@PastaPutinLogic would suggest there would be
Internet Historian really appearing in everyone's videos except his own
I looked into it, and apparently, the Dylan subreddit went to war against the Dillon subreddit
A most righteous cause
ManyKudos promoting the smaller UA-camrs again. How lovely ❤
It's wild seeing something that I've been invested in for a while pop up here lol. r/Zach wasn't very active (likely since r/Zack wasn't, our hated enemies), but we did join the United Names (UN) when it was proposed.
This is more stupid and wholesome than I thought it was gonna be. Just stupid harmless fun.
These silly wars spark me with so much joy
I hope the Tom team is lead by Tom Scott
Vice President TomSka
Arch nemesis Tim Scitt
The King is Thomas the Tank Engine
Never trust someone with two first names
Only of the Tims are led by Tim Anderic
They said they’d invade Tomorrow, but only tim will tell.
I clicked on this video thinking ehh this might be mildly interesting, and then I was taken on a grand journey through war-torn reddit. Great video!
9:40 10Inchschlong, truly one of the greatest philosophers of our time
I’m so glad that his work is finally being recognized
I know exactly which Heather he was talking about and now I feel old as fuck.
Everyone always asks “how many kudos” but never “how ManyKudos?” :(

Such a shame the Toms forgot the Tomahawk
This was incredible to follow, I'm glad the nations are finally at peace, for now
This video was way funnier than it should’ve been I’m dying
It's nice to see Internet Historian cameo'ing on such a heated and important internet historical geopolitical hotbed that is the Reddit Name Wars.
"Let us put our differences aside and join forces against a common enemy... Jim" almost made me choke on my pizza
As a tom , i didn't know what my people endured all these years.
Let's hold a moment silence
As a tom this was a great insight into my heritage
Glory to Toms
As always. The editing on this is immaculate.
Can confirm that Stevens and Stephens are longtime enemies
The only thing I care about when it comes to the names subreddits was the post on r/Kevin (I think), which was basically a "goodbye" post where OP announced her transition, and everyone was very supportive of her, saying they weren't losing a brother, they were gaining a sister.
And then they self deleted, the end.
I really needed something silly today. I'm so glad I watched this. 😂
Don't think you could've picked something sillier
@ManyKudos ooooo oh my gosh! Tell the internet historian I said hi lol 😆
Many Kudos with a white shirt and hair back looks like a discount romance novel cover character you see on questionable novels for desperate housewives while waiting at the checkout at the local small supermarkets on the shelves amongst the chocos.
Well at least Internet Historian is still alive, even if he’s being kept in Kudos’ basement
Am I the only one that thinks it's funny that manykudos covers more internet history then Internet historian now
Ha! There's only one name with true power.
Simon says stand on one leg.
I feel as though I speak for all James' when I say:
My name's James
None could possibly prevail when faced with my Coleition of Cole's
This was beautiful and gave me a much needed laugh... real-talk tho: my dad is a Tim and his brother was a Tom so this would have made family gatherings real awkward.
