It's called genetic sexual attraction. If you haven't bonded with close relatives in childhood, you tend to find their appearance attractive whilst simultaneously their smell is repellent (less noticeable now that we bathe/shower regularly and use scents to mask natural odors), basically, people find people that look like them attractive, but are repulsed by the smell of close blood relation

Fully white english family here but WOW the drama in my family. Every few years I find out something new to the point I keep saying I could write a period drama about this stuff. Biggest revelation being my great grandma had an affair with a "high society" man whose family she was a maid for and they had a baby, but he was raised by her parents as her brother. So when my granddad's uncle was on his death bed it came out that his "uncle" was actually his brother. Then only a few months ago my nan's sister died and only then did I find out she wasn't her sister at all, she was really her niece 'cause her Other sister had a teen pregnancy the family kept quiet about. She and my nan were born very close together so they got raised as sisters instead. So many other things happened too, these were just the biggest wtf moments when only finding this stuff out in my mid/late 20s.

My dad's side of the family is 100% Irish, one grandparent came over themselfs the other was first generation. Same shit. I'd say you are more likely to find it in poor and historically disenfranchised ethnic communities just due to the nature of the realities of life, but money won't fix generational trauma, it can provide you with an opportunity to heal that you wouldn't have been able to being poor and not even making ends meet, but I've never been more disgusted in someone's behavior as I was watching my family fight over my grandfathers money.

My Chinese-Thai extended family from my mother's side live next to each other and every time I visit that neighborhood it's like watching soap opera lol. This one has beef with this one or this one has an affair with their partner and yeah these stories were kept secret when you were young. Then when you turned adult you suddenly realized that lovely uncle and aunty despise each other. It is so bizarre.

Another thing that happens with a big family, you find out that you have an aunt or uncle that is the same age or younger than you. And to that extent I have a cousin that is the same age as my dad.

so true lol on my mom's side i'm one of the younger cousins being 18yo, but i do have a cousing who is late 30s-early 40's and another cousin who is like 4. The former cousin has a child who is only 1 year younger than me. We all understand what generation we are a part of but it gets complicated sometimes lol

Vietnamese families are definitely like this. When you’re the oldest like me you know all the tea that your younger siblings and cousins don’t. For example my aunt (second oldest on my dad’s side) had a first born before my aunt in law (married to my youngest uncle). My aunt named her daughter Hannah and then my aunt in law gave birth months later and to her first born, named her daughter “Hanna” My aunt was pretty pissed since she didn’t like her sis in law to begin with but that even created more animosity. She said why your wife have to pick the same name to her brother and his wife’s argument was it’s not the same name, it’s spelled differently and pronounced differently. “HA-NA” instead of “HAN-NUH” 🤦‍♀️ To this day my little cousins just think it’s a coincidence that they have similar names 🤷‍♀️

My dad got really into researching the family tree (the way some dads do after they reach a certain age) and was like "who knows how many secret lovechildren I'll find, haw haw". Turns out, the secret lovechildren... was us. Seems like my great-grandfather got wind that my great-great-grandfather was on his deathbed and he had to journey across the country to get on his hands and knees and literally beg him to be legally recognized as his son before he died. Fun times!

Underrated comment

Oh yes! As a „love Child“ (kinda it’s drama and complicated) I am basically related to everybody and nobody at the same time.. and trying to explain that situation is weird and complicated :‘)

Extremely relatable especially when it comes to big families and south asian families

There’s was this dude my grandma babysat while his mom was a way, his mom was also my moms friend so he would call her Tita, and one day during school our classmates were teasin us the usual boy girl friend thing. And he said “we’re cousins!” To get them to stop and I had to think for a moment because I was very sure we werent, so I said, “no we’re not?” I even mentally went down the family tree to try and remember if we really were. I even asked my mom if he was my cousin, and it really turns out we weren’t. I guess him calling my mom Tita made him think we were cousins lol

As a south east asian, I feel like it's kinda my responsibility to know my family tree, no matter how deep and distant it is.

It’s a big family thing. I found a long lost first cousin who was adopted. It was a big secret and I only found them from DNA testing

Whenever Garnt asks if something is just a Southeast Asian thing, it almost never is. He just doesn't realize its a universal thing for whatever subject it is, like big family drama.

I dated a local girl from my place and found later that she was my distant cousin. Long story short, never talked to her again after that

Joey is absolutely correct about big families having crazy dramas. My extended family on my mother side has a history of conflict. One particular story was how one of my uncles refused to sent money to take care of one of my grand-uncles because his side of family was not as wealthy. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I had found out how my family were originally Portuguese who migrated to Asia and made a fortune. Over time, because of family conflicts, we had lost our fortune as well as heritage

I remember when I'm at a family gathering, my dad introduced me to my aunties and uncles. Later that day I found out that they are not even our relatives. They are relatives of my uncle's wife.

@latte3248

Жыл бұрын

I relate so much, everytime there's a family gathering i just remember again how many aunties, uncles, and cousins are there who aren't even blood related to me.

As a Southeast Asian, i can comfirm I get some of the most random shit of shit that happened in the pass that make me have the same feeling And yes i do have alot of family members (7 uncles on my family side) I also found out that i was distantly related to my High school principle at a wedding of another relative's daughter

not only is there family drama, but there also starts to be confusion on who's a cousin and who's an aunt/uncle lol There's a significant overlap in ages between my generation of cousins and some of their kids. The youngest grandkid (my generation) is 4 years old while the oldest great grandkid is 17 years old

not me but in my wife's side of the family, she has this cousin who they have no contact with but his different kids visit their home town looking for him. After the 8th kid, my wife's aunt already has a spiel everytime a new kid comes over and asks about their dad

As someone who grew up in a diffrent country than the rest of my family (except my parents) I legit don't even know my cousins names or how big my family even is, I only recently learned I had an aunt

garnt truly is the MC

Yes the spicest drama is here

My family has a lot of drama it's just not hidden. I haven't spoken to my mom's side of the family or a good chunk of my dad's in years.

As a SE asian can confirm about spicy drama. Dads side, they're 7 siblings and on my mom's side 11. They're both the youngest (49) so I have lots of cousins and niece/nephews - i have 3 niece/nephews that's way older than me so imagine going to a family reunion and someone 10 yr older than u calling u aunty. Anyway the only drama i clearly remember was between my mom and uncle (dad's side), there were machetes involved. But that was when was like 7. They're good now and get along well.

Each day i uncover some new family member who fled from Vietnam to America.

This definitely a big family thing, in particular families from cultures that is very communal.

Walking my mother around the block while visiting on vacation. Mother: "That's your sister" Points to lady on the other side of the street walking her dog. Me: * Scanners.gif *

Its the same in Ireland. Alot of families are gigantic bc contraception was severely frounded upon up till like the 80s so I have basically 150 current family members and the drama is never ending 😂😂😂

Having so many uncles and aunties isn't only SEA things but in Hawaii too 😂

So Dark timeline Garnt has arrived

I'm the drama in my family. I will not elaborate.

Weirdly relatable

legit almost every morning my mum would got a call from 3 different aunties ranting about each other

when you have a family gathering in SEA there's always someone new that's related to you somehow without you ever knowing about it

Correction. They purposely looked for the widow of garnt's uncle. The fact, that the new resident of the uncle's house has a forwarding number. It meant to happen. God bless to garnt, garnt's dad, their whole family, trash taste and the rest of the Bois!

Distance causes issues. I have cousins, aunts and uncles states away that never contact us. My mom passed and they came but otherwise they never contact. And all the time family friends wojld be called "uncle or aunt" when around a bunch.

My dads family is such a mess but I've luckily only met them once because they live in a different country and we have only been there once in the over 20 years since my dad left. I couldn't recognise most of them if I saw them on the street but we randomly get news like my 45 year old uncle (who lives with his parents) had a 19 year old boyfriend who died of OD in their backyard, and I just think damn how did my dad turn out so normal no wonder he left.

Garnt's bizarre family 🐸

as a fellow southeast asian with a big family, my siblings and i only really know who our direct 1st (and sometimes 2nd) cousins and their parents are. the rest will be like, yeah, we know those ppl are related to us but just don't know how they're related to us. unless we all have that one family sit-down and everything spills out (family dramas included) hahha

Holy shit. the talk about taking advantage of familial bond is pissed me off. My father's family and extended family were is not really well of. Not poor, but just your typical small town family where you had enough for essential, but not for any other extra amenities. Objectively, my father is the most successful out of all family, and he is really generous to his other 7 siblings, because you know, its rural family things to do. Most of their college tuition were paid by my father (My father is the eldest son). He also tend to help some of the less fortunate family member, often paying for daily needs and their children's education. I am don't hate this part. Its his money and he spent it on a good cause. But my problem is when my other relative starts taking advantage of my father's generosity. He is that type of family man that is so strict to his own children, yet can't really said no to his other relative. They starts to demand money for other menial reason, like buying new motorcycle, funds for business, sometimes on a huge amount, and mind you its not BORROW, but just straight up PAYING. And some of them even demand my father to literally fully funded their on children, from food, education, even rent money. Its one thing to help here and there, but to blatantly demands money in front of my mother, which in my house is the one who manages our financials, and she can't do anything about it since its his money. Right now he can sustain it since he is still working, but in less than 2 years, he would retire from his job. What happened after he retired is making me nervous.

yeah i agree with the big families thing. tho there is some drama in my family and for american standards i have a medium sized fam.

Some families have the 🎶we don't talk about bruno🎶 person.

My great grandpa had at least 2 confirmed mistresses only because he has 3 children with 3 different women. He never divorced his wife, who is my grandfather's mother

Ive defintley got that with my white and my asian family. Cross over happened recently when someone made a pass at their niece. Dont know if its an uncle or an "uncle" but its still creepy as fuck

There's a video by Whatifalthist called How Family Structure Drives Ideology that explains all this so well it's a little scary.

I've given up trying to even attempt to get to know all my extended family its impossible

it is not just you garnt

Not Joey flexing how many childhood friends he had; i just got bullied has a child, and had one real friend!! The other one flipped to become a bully as soon as he got a chance.

yes. there is always something spicy if you dig deep enough. chinese usually know people that are related by blood or marriage. since there is a exact designation for everything. (almost) you don't call anyone by their name. you call them by their designation to you. since it is disrespectful to call people by name unless you are in the same generation. and that designation tells you exactly how that person is related to you. that said, you do find out later in life that someone is adopted or one person had a previous marriage with additional children. you feel like you whole world is upside down, but they were exactly how they were previously. you just know more now.

4:51 that's just how normal asian families are😂

I don't think is only a Asian thing, the whole big connected extended family. I think it was more prevalent overall, in older times, but people moving to big cities, the modern way of life etc, weaken the bonds and the significance of knowing the family tree etc. It's still pretty important in Greece, but you can see it weakened year by year. People living in the countryside and smaller towns, still keep it strong and you can see it for example on weddings etc.

Yeah this shit is about big families, as a Latin the family I know is about 120 people so there is a lot of shit hidden there like my granny being half sister of the my grand aunties, fights, mysterious deaths and my favorite of all, the fact that they are 60% of a small town which probably had seen a lot of cousin to cousin action

As a Turkish person, I relate to this on a spiritual level

I feel like with latin Americans families and Asian families, you can create anime series out of them. Big families are wild and it's just baffling how much drama can happen.

Why does it feel illegal to be hear this early?

Garnt likes touching his nose

Latino here, every now and then I go to a ramdom place with my parents, maybes it's a vacation maybe it's a trip, and some fucking how they will come up to me and say "hey look at that person over there working, they are my cousin" and like, I think I know my whole family and they pull things like this out of nowhere. Also, there is a man that it's and old friend of my dad, that guy is essentialy my grandfather since both mine were already dead when I was born and he helped take care of my dad in his youth, anyway I always visited him on the weekend and grew up with two of his grandchildren, we are basicaly cousins, and only this year when I went to one of their birthday parties I found out they had other cousins besides me and like, it never clicked because no one besides the family I know visited him so I never even thought they had other family

I found out one of my aunties was my uncle's mistress and it was an open secret

Two days ago at my new job I accidently met my distant cousin who turns out to be working there. Small world...

please make a video on grand blue

Let me tell you about Latino families, specially colombian families

OH THANK GOD i'm not the only who doesn't actually know who i'm related to by blood 😂 the whole aunty/uncle cultural thing has always confused me. any random stranger could come up to me claiming to be related to me and i wouldn't know enough to say otherwise.

tuff

Late to this, but you want mind fuck levels of drama, I'm half Chinese Malay and my dad when he was born, there was some prophecy regarding the first son born on a full moon or something, so he was given to my great aunt to bring up. He had to call his mum, auntie, his auntie mum, and his auntie big sister. That and going back for Chinese New Years, I'd get about $1000aud in 20RNG notes because there are so many aunts and uncles to collect from. (I think Malaysia brought out a 1 RNG note for CNY purposes, but since we went back once for CNY, we got 10s and 20s instead)

Im dedicating my life to being the uncle in the family that when my extended family bring folks over like their kids I hand them all a shovel to scoop chicken poop for the garden

Hispanic families are very much the same. I found out before my uncle & aunt are 1st cousins. Yes, they're married. Yes, it's weird and it was a problem when they announced it.

I’m 23 and I’m East Asian, for most my life I thought I only had male cousins on my dad side (dad is of 7 children actually 8 but one died shortly after childbirth) and I only recently found out one of my uncles had a daughter but divorced and the daughter went with his ex wife. So I have a cousin I’ve never met before. 😂

I wish I was closer to extended family. They all live in Mexico on my mom's side and my dad is an only child

we always have family drama its always boomer vs Genz every fuckin family reunion

Just the tip of the iceberg but my mom has 24 cousins 😭

It’s human thing , we’re messy animal. If you reach a number of people and some amount of relationships, things will get messy. I remember back when I was a teenager, people pulled guns at a family gathering. That was legit scary family gathering.

I’m in a big white family here in Australia, on both sides, so the amount of stuff I’ve heard is unbelievable. Also does not help that my mum, mums side of the family is massive and has live in our semi small town for decades so they know a lot about surrounding families. But than my dads family owns a business here as well so know people out of that and THAN my mums a nurse that goes to surrounding towns for work as well and has friends in those towns so we learn stuff there to. The rest of dads family lives in the main city of the state, which is still a good lot. Family gatherings are mad sometimes 🥲

It's definitely something with big families. I feel like it's more prevalent in Asians, because Asians in general tend to have big families.

Lmao, I'm the black sheep of my father's family- kinda hard to not say my name though since it's my grandfather's name 😅

It's definitely a big family thing. I'm from a white mormon family. I have 80 plus first cousins. I don't date in Utah because I don't know who I'm related to.

I mean its often told to me since childhood "You will achieve greatness and the flag of our family will be known throughout the world." And I'm left thinking our family has a flag? Am I some descendant of some extinct nation or something?

I recently found out, my grandfather's sister married a man whose sister married my grandfather, two marriage between the same family 🗿

It's definitely for big families But big asian families not only makes the majority it's literally the e first thing you think off when it comes to big family drama that and probably Hispanics Asian here both my parents have so big families and tons of relatives across the country especially my dad with 7 siblings and more than 20 cousins and more relatives and some live near by so lot of drama and conflicts happens almost monthly and all relatives are pretty well known in the hood Moms side isn't safe either family drama their but currently outside problems outside problems my gramps is almost like a celebrity just 2 ranks behind mayor status and just stepped down cause politics there is crazy and he could be targeted by corrupt officials

Garnt's cousin is almost as white as Connor

South east asia is weird because of colonisation and the japanese occupation and a lot of superstition. There were a lot of babies that were made and swapped. Babies get given away for being born in an inauspicious year even. My uncle found his half brother during a racial riot in the 60s who was gonna beat him up but luckily my grand dad had very strong genes… its wild

Asians are related in one way or another... asian OGs will bring in the family tree and say this and that, and somehow they're a distant family relative you had no clue about lol. Definitely a southeast Asian thing for sure.

Connor is definitely not right about white people and cousins. Some groups of white people still have a lot of tribalism and clanship. Southern Americans, Appalachians especially can be very connected to their family. I relate to my cousins much more like how Garnt described.
