- Do real life mutants live in Oniontown? Or are the rumors nothing more than folktale?

Ngl for a second I thought "onion town" was just wherever Onision lived
same :///
wait... it isnt?
I’m sure he’d fit right in there...
same
That’s why I clicked tbh
you've heard of onion town, now get ready for
garlic city
Underrated comment
That's literally Gilroy, California lmao
How About "South Bend OVER, INDIANA" And PETE BOOTYJUDGE !!!!!!
I like garlic in my

You mean Gilroy, CA?
Funny plot twist: NO ONE in Oniontown caught Corona, so they are living in the year 3000 basically.
Damn 😔
One of the perks of being isolated
Lucky them

more like 1888
"Hey guys, this scary hick town is super aggressive towards strangers!"
"lets got there and act like idiots!"
I don't see why people just don't bring a gun when they go to visit someone attacks you then its gonna be a closed casket for some dirty hick, oh wait they can't even afford a casket 🤣
@@eddisk8s just love them alone and then it won't be a problem
@@bt-fj5pw nah man if I wanna drive down a road and take in the beauty of America then I have the right to feel me they don't own the road. Now I get why they did what they did to the teenagers because the teens were in the wrong but if I'm just driving and you throw a rock at my car I'm throwing lead back at you lol
@@eddisk8s ok so if i wanna watch america at its finest ill just break into your home and start honking away and scream. i mean i wanna be free so you dont really have anything to say
@@eddisk8s as an american i thought the "americans eat guns for breakfast and are trigger happy" were jokes, but apparently they exist. cool.
It's honestly kind of sad, seeing low income people being harassed and dehumanized by a bunch of rich kids with nothing better to do than treat this town like a freak show. I'd be pissed too.
Don't worry those kids will get there's.
Thats Millbrook for you, the highschool is a bunch of rich white kids. Glad I graduated from there, its a shame though, I cant see many of the kids i graduated with becoming much with themselves. They don't have much experience in the real world.
Welcome to America, where rich kids play tricks on the lower income population for CZcams likes and views from other rich kids.
um .. tHeSe ["KidS"] are Definitley

I wouldn’t be surprised if these ‘republicunts’ don’t vote at all. They are normally self sufficient, and don’t rely on either party for self worth or to signal moral virtue, like yourself. They live modestly, and are not constantly begging for hand outs or blaming others for their own shortfalls, again like yourself.
"There was even a guy sitting on his porch with a gun on his lap"
am from Texas, this doesn't register as strange to me
same for Oklahoma too
America in general
Georgia
Am from germany, this Registers as extremely concerning to me
Here in NY it's more unusual than you'd think. Especially since, at least where I live, gun ownership isn't that common.
My mother is from a town extremely close to onion town. At her highschool, one of the lunch ladies was actually from there. According to her, many of her peers relentlessly bullied the poor lady for both being from onion town and having a physical deformity. My mom befriended her and she turned out to be one of the kindest ladies she's ever met, regardless of the negative "animalistic" stereotype of the inhabitants of onion town. These people are not animals, and deserve basic human decency. Her boyfriend in highschool also happened to live in oniontown, and he was a kind individual as well. Regardless of being extremely impoverished and despite the negative stigma, the people of oniontown my mom has interacted with have been nothing but kind. Honestly, if I had people drive out to rural NY to make fun of me for living in a certain town, I bet I would be sick of it too!!
Dober?
Same kind of thing goes on in "Midgetville", and also the long gone "Albino Village", both in NJ. Stupid local kids bother the residents, and the residents finally get fed up and chase after them and sometimes get violent, and not necessarily unjustifiably so.
A Tale As Old As Time mockery gets the best of people
O N I S I O N T O W N
There's a legend about a town of little people like that here in Pennsylvania. Kids go there and bother the locals, then complain about the locals being hostile towards them. I'm completely serious.
See, those are absolutely heartbreaking. That’s awful bigotry for uncontrollable medical conditions and peoples identities. I hope the people who were there lived at least okay lives and their descendants are happy now.
"OOoooOOooOOhhH they all sell DRUGS"
so does every town, you just gotta look a little bit
And look I have
@@chrismoles861 and what did you find?
I’ll buy it probably
@@sourpuss1455 unsurprisingly. Drugs
Its weird to me in a way that some places get the weird stereotype of "Thats where you go for drugs!" Like it's always super tiny place like Onion Town, or it's big cities. Like people talk shit about San Fran because you find needles everywhere. Yet having grown up in the military and living in a lot of places, that shit really is everywhere.
“They broke your window!!”
“That’s okay, I have insurance.”
“AAAAA”
Lmao
Shit had me rolling when that happened
Insurance is scary.
quintuple A
June hey man, insurance premiums are scarey
OH GOD NO NOT THE INSURANCE
Please put a warning for the scream at 7:52, I was forced to resuscitate myself with my phone charger.
RIGHT I GOT TERRIFIED
PLEASE THAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME PLELWKSJEJJF
looks like im not the only one that got scared from that loud ass scream
yeah the narrator voice is so quiet and then there's just screaming, it made me panic and tear off my earbuds lol
my volume was so loud argh
Now THAT would be more interesting than Oniontown.
How are these guys suppose to sell drugs if they're attacking everyone who gets close by like goddamn Skyrim bandits?
They mostly sell to each other
@@protozoakid6219 missed opportunity for an outpost bastion of the communist ideology. Why sell to each other?
There's plenty of locations they can go sell drugs in Dover, including that "college" use to be asylum
Well I bet the people buying drugs aren't just circling around honking the car horn lol. Its probably pretty easy to tell who is a crazy outsider teen and who's a potential buyer
Well I just read the vice article and it's a good read, the journalist was invited by a resident of onion Town for the interview and their are pictures from it of the people etc. Based on the article they aren't the messed up people they are made out to be just a severely bullied neighborhood of poor people. The town judge consider them friends and said the success of his business was because of them buying from him.
some say if you try to cut into oniontown without warning you start to cry uncontrollably
Such a low hanging fruit yet I still laughed.
It’s probably from the guilt of having to murder it’s residents
O N I O N S
Bongo boy
just say "it's gonna hurt a little" to the oniontown
I read an interview with a local. They basically just hate outsiders because they treat them like an attraction.
And adjacent towns treat them like garbage even refuse to give them jobs if they have an Oniontown address
poeter14 wonder what would happen if you went there quietly with a bunch of baskets of food/gifts?
if your quiet, and just buy a drink from a shop if they have one, they probably won't care. But come and be patronizing to a community who already feel atacked, they are gonna tell you to "go away". To be fair it sounds a little like any small town, I'm British so our towns look different (brick and stone buildings instead of wood and board), but poor, close families, drugs, yup, we got that too. Nob heads getting a hiding for being nob heads, that as well.
got a link to the interview?

@Aniquin An interview is an interview.
Lol, what’s all this aversion to the word “quaint”? In the UK we use it for everything: “Oh, what a beautiful quaint little town!”
There's an implication that the thing is small and entertaining. I would not want my culture to be described as small and entertaining.
well i mean words can have different connotations since new york isn’t uk obviously
@azealiabanks perfect example of how words have multiple meanings.
O N I S I O N T O W N
There is a quote that goes: hurt people hurt people. And all that means is that people who are hurt oftentimes hurt others. I almost feel like the people at this town are a prime example of that quote.

If you spend generations treating people like animals, don't be surprised when they get tired and act like animals.
Animals are more advanced than “people”.
Joseph Di Bella what the hell are you talking about?
@@josephdibella463 Sorry mate but animals are feral and unhinged. They rape each other and commit a lot of infanticide behind the scenes. Though domestic animals are cool, still a lil iffy but cool and wild animals are also cool when they're not doing crazy things.
Mewliter you realize people do this too?
@@cheezwhiz2034 Course, humans at least have standards and laws, consequences (which only get delivered sometimes unfortunately, but there are consequences). In like animals it's kinda free game. Like if you're weak you're pretty bad off.
Though most people don't do those things, for some animals it's kinda a way of life. Like some of it is pretty wild, like ducks are their messed up coochies/dinguses.
People who do do those things get called animals and monsters so there's that.
I'm not trying to slap someone and say "oh did you know that animals are actually ferocious? that cute seal? Eats penguins get rekt", I just got a little miffed on the guy. Like I think animals usually being feral adds to the feeling of seeing one act humanely. idk.
Lmao I may dumped on the guy. It may have been too much, but I see those types of comments on pet videos all the time, it's frankly annoying. anyway cheers.

He's such a classic douchebag teenage guy it's almost comical.
i love your pfp i love koRn
Nice pfp. Issues is KoRn’s greatest record in my opinion.
🙄Eehh, _that's_ just normal All-American teenage boy "Machismo".
Or, as the -increasingly stupid- feminists like to call it,
😑"Toxic Masculinity".
Likely, he was just trying to impress the girls with his self-percieved (and ultimately misguided) sense of bravery whilst hamming it up for the camera.
Sure, it's HELLLLLA dumb, but it's not _malicious._
And to call him a "terrible person" is a bit much,
though I can see where someone could make that argument as his actions _were_ careless & woefully ignorant at best.
But why are you painting it like the 2 _other_ girls are these "frightened innocent little victims helplessly thrown into danger" or some shit?
They are JUST as much to blame as the dumb guy, if not *moreso* since it _was_ one of the chicks driving (while smoking pot I might add).
If anything, it seems _the girls_ were the ones orchestrating (and therefore at fault for) the ENTIRE DEBACLE;
It was one of _the girls_ that drove the vehicle into OnionTown like some sort of human safari,
one of _the girls_ asking the locals nosey/blatantly disrespectful questions *about people she did not know,*
one of _the girls_ who while on camera, chose to "Other" the citizens of OnionTown by calling them "a different breed";
What's a mere *horn honk* to all THAT?
This was entirely the fault *of the two other **_girls._*
And as a result, they egged on the guy to behave in the same careless manner that ended up terrifying them.
It wasn't that their actions werent at least as _equally_ careless as that of the male,
It was that his 1 action was _upfront_ instead of "behind-the-back",
creating immediate consequences where theirs didn't.
And really, WTF did they expect when they went out of their way to paint these isolated human beings as animals to be gawked at;
As mere _tools_ for their excitingly "spooky" little roadtrip?
They set the entire thing up in a way that 100% shows how they view these people:
*as a roadside attraction,* some sort of *freak* show exists solely for the purpose of *_entertaining them._*
Of course after all this the guy is gonna behave In a way that reflects their preconceived ideas of the place,
The town is their _amusement_ park.
Then why shouldn't he extract for them, their amusement?

Also me: K
This is a strange comment section because you rightfully criticize the tourist-y, "oooooo let's have fun with these monsters lol" attitude of the teenagers who treat Oniontown as a festival ride to enjoy, yet at the same time, this comment section is fullllllllll of people going "I want to try and understand them, I'll come in and see if I can speak with these strange people" is just like a kid going to the zoo. Such a person may as well talk about "ooooo im going to go to the savage land of [insert foreign country here] and see if I can interact with these strange brutes!". Its unfortunate that so many people can criticize the teens in the video but then think of doing the same bullshit that just smells better. Excellent video tho!
So a group of people:
- are marginalized to a specific low-income, forgotten area of society
- their neighbors ridicule them and view them as subhuman to distance themselves from association
- they are viewed as dangerous people associated with drugs but are on the receiving end of constant harassment by the same people who criticize them
Sounds like a how-to on building an inner-city ghetto. If they weren't so racist in Oniontown, they'd realize they have ALOT in common with African-Americans. It's a shame that Tribalism will allow for people to become so disenfranchised and still believe it is their fellow working man's fault.
Why are they racist? Just because they are white? Only thing you have to go on really is that the guy thought they were all circus freaks and KKK members, but nobody showed any evidence of it. Probably some black people live there even. LOL
They may or may not be racist KKK members. Just because someone said it and it got repeated doesn’t make it true. That just sounds like one of the details that gets tacked on to stories like this to make the people that live there seem more evil.
So blacks automatically live in ghettos? Thats sounding a racist or prejudice
@@moxiemaxie3543 you must not understand what "marginalized" means. I never once said "african americans automatically live in ghettos", YOU are saying that because you don't understand what I said due to the terms I used. So rather than do a simple search on google for the definition, you made up a completely inaccurate statement that fit into your narrative. try harder, darling.

After a bit of digging, I learned that Oniontown isn't even a town. It's more of a neighborhood. It's a bunch of homes on a dirt road. No wonder they get so pissed off at people coming around and being jackasses.
Yeah no shit he just said that onion town isn't a town in the video.
Christian Blackmon you know he means the last part right?
He’s just saying what was said in the video and then said why they probably are pissed

“Locals literally have a modern SUV”
exactly my thought..
I think its a made up video
I looked at the title and for a second I thought it said, "Why everyone's scared of Onision.".
There's a lot of reasons to be scared of him
i actually came across oniontown completely on accident because it's only a few towns away from me.
it's literally just a dead-end street with shabby looking trailers. the only person i saw outside was a little kid and his ATV.
they didn't come hooting and hollering and throwing rocks at my car or whatever. it's just a low-income area.
Yeah I’m pretty sure those people who got shit thrown at them were being dicks like those teens in the video
This guy thinks Columbus brought the plague over to North America having gotten his history from Howard Zinn.
@@Asianbarbie1011 it was probably just a kid with a car that had a rusted frame or something serious like that so they took it up there and smashed the hell out of the car themselves just to make the video.
Well if you look close in the video, the guy in it is a big CZcamsr now. It was all a prank, like all his videos are, and you can get anyone to do anything for money. He'll it was probably his friend's in the truck and the car was probably a piece of cap. So its all staged.
Nah, that's bullshit. Oniontown is dangerous, I know someone who went there by "mistake" and almost died. It's all private property and the Grandpa there is a farm owner who supplies his family. The people living there are all related, generations of incest, they're like Ferrell animals. They're also racist. You can legally be killed there. It's a place with warning signs everywhere. Deadass no one goes there, unless they're tourists who wanna be stupid.
Plus they're not selling drugs. They're not real town. They live on Oniontown rd. It's a roundabout.
"We were in their neighborhood at 2am" how would you react if some rando was just outside your place at 2am considering its a dead end road

This is gonna sound weird but I just had this thought of being a person living within Oniontown. Just so exciting to get into your truck and chase after terrified teens and have some fun with that seclusion... Break some car windows. Must be cathartic.
Honestly, yeah, teens deserve it
Agreed. Eff those kids.
I'm currently working at a group home up in that area. I was driving around with my guys and almost ended up in there. Thankfully they've put up a big ass "no trespassing" sign and I was able to nope the hell out.

Omg, you have no idea how weird it is hearing a CZcamsr say they grew up in Hudson valley, and then show a picture of the MOHONK MOUNTAIN HOUSE, I CAN LITERALLY BIKE THERE. It’s honestly such a surreal experience seeing something that’s such an iconic part of your town being shown in the first minute of a random video.
I often bike into dutchess county and the picture you showed at 1:00 is EXACTLY where I row on the river. The fact that this stuff is recognized in a video is oddly satisfying
the way Oniontown was described in the beginning kinda reminds me of Hackdirt from Oblivion
Quaint means small and quiet. Not much of an insult

Oniontown doesn't deserve that
This sounds like real life "Gummo."
It genuinely does. Except unlike that movie, the people living here aren't utterly despicable trash.
First thing that popped up in my head when i read Oniontown was "Ogre paradise"
The people of oniontown don't seem to be as secluded as people say. Someone must be buying the cars, they seem to eat food imported from outside the community...
Yeah sure. It might be a community of hostile xenophobes... But considering that they still are alive and seem to go to shop food and stuff in Regulartown... The stories of inbread malformed brutes seems a bit dubious or at least exaggerated.
Where the fuck do you think they sell their drugs? There's no money in that town.
Sounds like something someone from oniontown would say
@@evfist Ladies and gentlemen... We've got 'em.
I heard it's mostly a poor neighbor hood
Yeah and then you have people fucking with them. Go to any bad neighbourhood in the US and you'll the same treatment for being a jackass.
No, I hear people call towns quaint all the time, especially small towns. It's just used to mean cozy.
Don’t think I’ve ever heard a circus act be called “quaint.”
Yeah I thought that was weird
I've actually only ever heard quaint as a descriptor for towns.
I have never heard quaint be used to describe anything other than a town before.
I think it usually means simple
Honestly the way this little neighborhood gets treated makes me sad. I know just as well what it's like to be dehumanized because of being poor. The reports and "documentary" videos just reminded me of my childhood being homeless/jumping from place to place to make ends meet and how the upper classes treated (and still do treat) me.
Not justifying the town's behavior, I do think they should be punished for going as far as they do.
I think they're perfectly justified. The police won't help them. NO ONE will. These brats are coming to them, harassing them, in some cases, even assaulting them.
@@WobblesandBean I have no issue with them trying to keep people away since people tend to treat them like shit and no body else will help them, but them.
I got lost in the area once, found myself on that road. While it was clear that I wasn't welcome, I did ask a gent for directions. He helped me out. And the people I saw were just that: People.
Like I said, it wasn't hidden that I wasn't welcome, but they weren't overly hostile to me.
To be quite frank, they wanna be left alone on their street? Let them be alone on their street.
bRUH I READ THE TITLE AS ONISIONTOWN AND GOT SO CONCERNED
I laughed way too hard at this!!! Lol
A valid fear tbh
I don’t get it
Same lmao
Ryan MacLean do you know who Onision is? I thought it was a theme park based off of him and got worried
I'd like to take this opportunity to mention that quaint, by definition, is accurate and not at all insulting to call a town without radios or electricity.
The definition of quaint is "something that is attractively unusual or old timey"
which... no radios...
no electricity...
*cought* how quaint *cough*
Context matters though. It can be used as a insult from much higher up people whereas they themselves might call themselves a quaint town is a good thing.
Think about it how the word 'nerd' is used in different context.
@@plink4017
True....but this guy described a circus act as quaint, which kinda leads me to believe that he just doesn't really know what the word means.
I think "quaint" also has some variance in its connotation(s?) across different demographics. To wealthier people, this word is used in a condescending way; to the rest of us, it's evocative of something homey and charming. Maybe this has something to do with the different social classes' different experiences of what is old and familiar- I don't know- but to refer to any actual PEOPLE as "quaint"- not a village, a house, a farm, but a people- would be a mistake. People are complicated and life is difficult, whatever your station and whomever you are; life is not a quaint thing, and that is a fact which makes the occasional "quaint" touches- the simple things which make us smile- all the more necessary. 🕰⛄🗝🕯🛎🌛🎠

They pretty much went there asking for trouble and got what they wanted.
My uncle lives in onion town, he raises a family there, and the locals treat my family like friends, and everytime we go down for thanksgiving they hapily let us in, some people tease me about it, but i don’t care

The residents could make a fortune selling t-shirts. "I almost drove through Oniontown" "It's ok guys! I have insurance!" etc.
I found your channel more recently. I'm originally from Pawling, which is the town over. Oniontown does have a bit of a problem with incest from what my mom's coworker had experience (she's a social worker); she got stuck with the sheriff on a case of domestic abuse due to the boyfriend was sleeping with his sister and his girlfriend got into a fist fight with the sister over it in Oniontown a few years back. Dover overall tends to be trailer parks and (not sure if yet opened after how many years) "college" that use to an asylum in the middle of the town. But I do feel bad for the Oniontown residents since quite a few try to hide where they're from since they deal with a lot of shit from others about it, especially the kids who go to school in Dover. Back in the early 2000s when I moved up to the area, there was areas where "outsiders" were looked down upon (a few still do that shit).
Sorry if this seems disorganize I'm writing this in the middle of night

All stereotypes have to come from somewhere. As insulting or as stupid as they might seem sometimes you gotta realize it happened enough times that it started to be associated with the person in question.

I was thinking the same, what if someone actually just payed a kind visit and tried to get to know someone there, human to human? I think that's the only good way to go anymore. Even asking for an interview might be taken wrong at this point if done right off the bat. Call me cheesy, but I think sometimes gentle and honest kindness is the only option in some cases, this being one of them. The idea of an interview could possibly be introduced later on, but they've been teased and alienated so much by now that acting with alternate motivations in any way would likely be rejected, even if it's well meaning. They need to know their interview won't be edited to make it something it isn't.
I had the same thought while I was watching this. Compassion can go a long way, and I'm curious to hear about how they see the world. I kept hoping for something like that to be shown in this video, but it wasn't.
i live there and this shit is fucked up and all a lie
They won't do that. It's not a run down ghetto black community.
Isn’t something “Quaint” charmingly old fashion/unusual? It’s not usually an insulting term...
It can be. It depends on usage. It's like "cute." Typically a positive word, but it can also be used in a patronizing way.
Morbid Manatee I can see that...maybe it was all in context to what was written. Fair enough. Quaint in a Condescending/patronizing way definitely makes sens.
In this context its strange Or odd
It does. I think he misunderstood the word, given the examples he gave.
It might be used euphemistically, but it's not even close to dehumanising.
Like when a real estate agent describes a one -room apartment as "cozy", they're trying to put as positive a spin on it as possible.
When someone describes a shithole town as "quaint", they're actively trying _not_ to offend, if anything.
@@465marko Imagine you're living in poverty. Someone much more well off than you comes to visit your town. They start quizzing you on your history knowledge and marveling at how much you don't know. They say "What, you don't even have electricity? You don't have radio? Oh, how quaint!" Does that sound like a complement?
you grew up right near where i live and it genuinely surprised me so much it surprised me for a sec i literally used to live on the hudson
“Onion town” reminds me of “allentown” I also grew up in upstate NY as well. The legend has it that “Allentown” is populated by only Allen’s. Meaning.... they’re all the product of incest. Only two streets in the town. Me and a few buddies went out there one day after highschool, and we drove through. Wasn’t nearly as bad as we expected, but it was quite weird. The weirdest thing being that there was a hotel there. The middle of nowhere, and just bizarre. I feel it’s time for another trip there. There was just a story written about it on the NoSleep podcast. Weird.

But my experience with them really was very lame. ~ Still, other insurance can be hinky, too: Elephant Ins. wanted my email password (ha!) before they'd give me a quote. And after being rear-ended by a Progressive-insured driver, their Ins. agent made up an outright lie involving my cutting through a [nonexistent] funeral procession. It was only after I informed their agent that I was reporting him to the State Insurance Commission that they finally dropped the lie and admitted fault- as had already been established in the accident report. Insurance can be an unscrupulous business.

Do you know the actual definition of “quaint”?
There are two sides to this coin.
On one side: There's a small town with aggressive residents who will attack whoever enters the town or barely even near the town with run down trailers and a community full of incest and psychopaths
On the other side: Oniontown is a small town with individuals who have been alienated and treated like attractions. They deserve the peace of living in their own little society, no matter how weird it may be because they're humans, not animals. When you treat someone like an animal, they're gonna get fed up and start acting like animals.
Every action has a reaction, remember that.
I’m from a place that’s very similar to Oniontown in a multitude of ways, except it’s in the depths of the California Mohave desert. Here’s an insider’s perspective.
People who come out here for shits and giggles literally destroy the area. I’m not saying that metaphorically. Crowds from Coachella surge in all the time, along with tourists who expect us to be a bunch of lawless drug-crazed nuts. They steal so much from the one existing Walmart here that it’s not even funny, it’s really just disturbing. They treat us inhabitants like wacky roadside attractions, and that’s not even going into how they treat the physical environment. Joshua trees take hundreds of years to mature, but these crowds won’t stop destroying them. The hieroglyphs on the rocks are some of the oldest on earth, and these crowds *won’t stop destroying them.*
Hundreds of people die or go missing while vacationing out here each year. They can’t get it through their thick skulls that the desert is a harsh mistress, and you will, in fact, die if you don’t bring enough water.
We’re really not that hostile, we’re just sick of being treated like this. I personally don’t live here exactly, but just look up “Slab City” on CZcams and watch the titles all label it as a completely lawless anarchy that remains untouched by the outside world, and also looks like a background drawing from Yellow Submarine. There certainly are drug problems in these areas, there’s no denying that. But there are drug problems...literally everywhere. It’s not special just because it’s in an area that’s perceived as weird. Also, some of the people who flow in here during tourist season are definitely not helping the drug issue, seeing as they bring a bunch more in.
If everyone stopped losing all empathy and critical thinking skills every time they vacationed here, things would be a lot nicer. I’m sure the people of Oniontown can relate. Just treat us like a normal city for once! Actual people live here. We go grocery shopping, have jobs, and eat food. We’re just...humans, please treat us like it.
Side note: yes, Marty Robbins music is very popular out here, at least in my experience. Fallout is fun.

You made this sad story / video so much better
And the reason they’re hostile to outsiders, is because it’s their swamp
I lived in rural Maine for many years, and I have to laugh at the teens getting scared off by the Oniontown residents. I would definitely get a kick out of scaring nosy teens off my property by following them for awhile down the road. Mind ya bizniss! I don't condone damaging the cars though; you don't have to go that far.
I've lived in Upstate NY my whole life (Schenectady county) and never heard of Oniontown! Learn something new every day i guess
As someone from lower Hudson Valley, specifically Westchester County, NY, it always has pissed me off when people from my county refer to Dutchess and Putnam counties as 'redneck country'. These kids try to use their wealth and well-off living situations as a way to dehumanize people who live, quite literally, a good hour north from us. The upper Hudson Valley area is beautiful and full of lovely people, and it's sad that Onion Town has to be treated with such hatred.
yeah, I'm from the Newburgh area and we get a lot of people who think our area is just a bunch of criminals and bad people and it sucks. Like yeah, it's not the best area but it's not awful. and yes the upper Hudson area is really nice I love going up there. I love going across the bridge into Dutchess it's really pretty. :)
I'm from Saratoga County, the hour north area, and your statements accurate. As a kid these were the douchebags I was in school with, same stuck up idiots you encounter all around. People will take any opportunity to they see to make themselves feel or look better by putting others down, there's literally no hope for humanity

Its not in Utica its in Albany
It's a regional dialect.
_Uh-huh, what region?_
Uhhh-upstate New York.
_Really? Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed hams'._
Oh! Not in Utica, no, it's an Oniontown expression.
_I see..._
Well Oniontown, you are some odd fellows, but I must say, you steam a good ham.
OMG I love you!
I live in a place with a world famous landmark and culture, and I have had my picture taken by tourists without asking enough times to kinda feel for these people a little. Like, this is my HOME, not a god damn amusement park. Just because I dress unlike anyone from your country does not make me your clown.
Aw :( I hate that alot. No matter where you are or where you're from you should know to respect people's personal space and self, you shouldn't take picture of people you don't know. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
Same here😑 tourists everywhere

Omg, this is so sad. Its like generations of families that have been literally bullied by all the generations of people they are surrounded by. Its disgusting the way people will jump on board quick to hate on people having a hard time. But we wont try to offer any help or even a kind word. Now they are so defensive they dont even want anyone to stop in thier area. I feel bad for them. I cant imagine growing up with everybody treating me and my family like crap for years. Im surprized they havent just gone crazy and killed a whole bunch of folks.
Ikr, but there are people who aren't like these poo's
and trying to run them off the road and kill them is alright too.

Honestly that's how I'd see it, if it was much bigger we'd have a civil war on our hands for oppression lol, oh I'd actually love to seem them serve justice to society by actually going on a murderous rampage to seek karmic justice.
I don't think "quaint" means what you seem to think it means.
hergaurdianwolf yeah I thought the same. Seems like assuming and twisting the definition for your ends is easiest.
It's not dehumanising, it's a quality. Homes, hamlets and villages want to be considered quaint. Or rather those advertising them do.
I was going to say the same thing lol, it's not insulting and you would use it to describe a small town...
hergaurdianwolf you all seem to miss the phrase "in my opinion"
its his own opinion that the word quaint is a lil bit insulting
Words have multiple meanings. Lets look at Quaint.
1: having an old-fashioned attractiveness or charm; oddly picturesque (Your "correct" and only one use defintion)
2: strange, peculiar, or unusual in an interesting, pleasing, or AMUSING way (The one used in the video.)
3: skillfully or cleverly made.
Gunzee I’m from a rural place. I loathe the word quaint. Tourists snapping picture squealing “Quaint! Cute! Primitive!” I can guarantee, no one in my town, pop 660, wants to be called quaint. Lol.
To Ulster County residents Oniontown is a metropolis. This is all just rumors, it's 15 minutes from Poughtown. The entirety of Greene County is very similar. I've known people from Oniontown there's nothing noticably different about them, they're just people.
Crazy seeing a video done on Onion town, and mention Dutchess County NY
I highly respect you for taking such a neutral and fair take on this town and not sensationalizing it as some sort of real life "Shadow Over Insmouth".
Although, the locals do seem to be about as hostile as the locals of Insmouth.
I'm really torn. On the one hand, I want to let them be like they want. On the other, I want to understand their actual life style. Not as freakshow attractions, but as human beings. No one acts for no reason; what exactly pushes them to be this way? It can't just be the occasional dickhead kid.
Honestly, yeah. It would be great if someone mature went out to actually find the truth (and not just hAhA fUnNy MaN hOnK hOrN aT aMiSh PeOpLe)
@@astracrits4633 You mean like do anthropological research? That'd be awesome!
Fighting Thunder yeah I’d love a long article or simple interview based documentary about the place. I wanna hear these people talk about their area and life and if possible, history
Well it's pretty simple in my understanding. This is a tiny town and it's very poor. Barely any electronics or anything to keep occupied. Think about kids today having constant stimulation. If you're a kid today with absolutely no money, your parents have absolutely nothing and you have nothing to do but kick rocks and throw mud balls outside. When people start to randomly drive through your neighborhood beeping and gawking at you. Those kids that have literally nothing to do get together and plan and gather. And this happens. As for the parents. No one choses to live like this. People often who are born into poverty stay in it, whether backwoods places like this or very poor cities.
Madame Feast' none of this is true. i love rigjt by it.
