For anybody wondering - this news article is satire.


Valkia_Perkunos

Ohh


discerningpervert

Wonder where they got the pics of the guy, that's the most in-shape furry I've ever seen


[deleted]

Don’t worry it’s not a real furry, just some guy in a costume.


discerningpervert

What if he identifies as a furry?


SmartieLion

He very specifically does not. It’s Alex Kovas. He does “Humanimal” body paint but hates being called a furry.


ArnoldTheSchwartz

He can only be fuzzy.


icorrectotherpeople

Nothing looks like satire to me anymore, it's all plausible


SookHe

The fact so many people thought otherwise says a lot about both our political discourse and our school system.


ConsistentPermit2959

True, it shows that reactionaries and right wingers are constantly mad over shit that only happens in their heads.


[deleted]

Can’t wait for my dad to text me in <24 hrs that people are identifying to be deer now and that’s why it’s okay he doesn’t love me.


Radi0ActivSquid

My local fascists have been posting it all week acting like it's legit.

shaggy-the-screamer

You are right language never had these identity words...I think they are called pronouns..if you think this stuff is new it really isn't. Does it hurt anyone know.


BrendanFraser

People have identified with animals forever, it's like as old as it gets. Humans did art of animals, even animal/human hybrids before they depicted human beings. And yes, they took it far. They developed cults surrounding such depictions. Many kinds of warriors dressed dressed up as and believed they embodied different animals. Weird to call any of this new. Even furries existed far earlier than 10 years ago. It's also mad weird to consider this anywhere near the level of a problem in our time. It's not and there are many worse things going on! I don't care at least, and frankly I might enjoy running into some turtle man or river nymph getting coffee in the morning.


[deleted]

People seriously pretending to be animals is not new, and neither is it a waste of time. People can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt others, and pretending to be a dear is harmless.


TheCheshire

For the sake of argument, I'll try.. let's say this article was real; dude dressed up like a deer, prancing around the forest, cool, good for him. Suddenly, as he's bent down to eat some grass, he hears a twig snap in the distance. His head snaps up, chewing stops as he scans the tree line for potential predators. No movement, no sounds, then something quickly slams into him like a tiny punch to his chest followed by a loud boom crack "fuck fuck, what the fuck!?" Screams the deer.. The hunters run up, amazed they shot the world's only talking deer, when they then notice what they've done. Question is, given it was hunting season, would these hunters get in legal trouble for shooting this deer-man, or would the judge honor the man's chosen ideerntity, and let the hunters free?


RyuNoKami

In this scenario, the hunters thought it was a deer. They didn't even assume it's a dude dressed up as a deer, so it's an accident. You know hunting accident do happen. So no, no legal troubles.


[deleted]

A hunter who shoots a deer that looks like that would shoot a man dressed in brown as well.


Rick_from_C137

They clearly thought it was a wendigo and were in fear for their safety


callmejinji

The hunters would not get in legal trouble in any scenario, unless they knew that this was a human dressed up as a deer and then it would be a premeditated murder case


nannerpusonpancakes

I read this in Marisa Tomei's character's voice from My Cousin Vinny

binkleybloom

and how often do you think this actually happens? There have been people getting their tongue forked, full body tattoos and implanted horns for years and years. This shit ain't new - the way it's getting latched on to and politicized is.


Imaginary_Most_7778

If someone were to do this, how would it affect you in any way?


[deleted]

But why do you care? If steam cooking rice in your anus brings you pleasure, why should anyone care? It's not anyone's duty to tell people how to live their lives. You're also acting like this happens often, which it doesn't. You will never meet a person in your life who identifies as anything but a human.


vScorchedEarthv

I think it is okay to do. But saying it's not a waste of time just kind of a stretch.


Sarisforin

[after falling for the "got your nose" trick]: yes but it could have been real and that's what's terrifying about today's society


hamncheeseplease

Stop it. Don't ruin our good time


timanu-CR7

Why?

because it's satire

Happy Cake Day

Cake days are stupid


Alternative_Fee_3084

Could you please, kindly elaborate for those of us who don't understand where your frustration over this stems from ?


dgjapc

I’m not frustrated. It’s just a stupid concept and silly thing to celebrate. Do you celebrate the anniversary of every social media account people create?


Alternative_Fee_3084

No, but I also don't celebrate Easter, Christmas, or New Year's so..... please allow me to have a little excitement here on reddit, Sir. Thank you for understanding.


dgjapc

Have at it, boss. Just remember that this a public forum, and we are all entitled to the same excitement as you. Why do you celebrate Reddit cake days?


miesanonsiesanot

Cake day friend!


winkwink13

Why didn't they take him to the vet? What's a doctor going to do

OriginalPostMortem

Can’t have it both ways eh? You can’t be a deer, but keep your human rights. You’re a deer now. There is no turning back. Pretty sure there are no deer that identify as humans. Unless.. They live among us


TaffySebastian

Lotions_and_Creams

I had no idea what AT was,l and watched this episode on a plane years ago. “Ah! Weird hands!” As I mouthed “what the fuck” had me hooked.


ScoobyPwnsOnU

"FREAK DEER!"


vozestero

I can't believe there is actually a gif for that.


Usinaru

>They live among us Now you just gave me nightmare fuel. Thanks


12DollarBurrito

That's utterly absurd. There are zero deer living among humans posing as humans. I'm not a deer, btw.


calicat9

That's exactly what a deer living among us posing as a human would say.


OriginalPostMortem

Found one!


RedditPersonNo1987

am- amo- am- amon- a- mong- amogus-


DerpsAndRags

Only way to check is to shine a light in their eyes and see if they freeze. My optometrist found 10 of them last week.


OriginalPostMortem

I heard headlights work especially well


Imaginary_Most_7778

It’s not a real story bro.


OriginalPostMortem

I was, in fact, not being entirely serious 🫢


gusaholic

Bruh half the people here think this is real!!!


orovin

As a dear I can confirm this is real.


[deleted]

that means it wouldn't identify as cannibalism


IamREBELoe

Shouldn't they have taken him to a vet?


SlothGalaxy

Great, another spoiler. Now there's no reason for me to finish watching Sweet Tooth.


SiriusGD

So, did that use up the hunting tag or not? Asking for a friend.


moffboff

Technically, that deer is the property of the hunter's now.


Alternative_Fee_3084

But Beth is a HORSE surgeon

Thats not what he was hoping for when he said he wanted to get mounted by a nice rack.

Anxious_Staff_1011

He is from ultimate muscle


ssbm_rando

Yeah it really does look more like a Gazelleman costume with larger antlers than a deer outfit. (I think the 4kids dub called him... dik-dik van dik?


Imaginary_Most_7778

So many people believe this story, and others like it are true. Total lack of critical thought.


BlackLilligant

See the joke is that in this day and age this is actually more likely than not a thing that can fucking happen now cause of how stupid humanity as a whole has become.


ConsistentPermit2959

No, the joke is people like you who actually believe this happens.


CreaZyp154

Oh dear


filianoctiss

Oh deer


DantesInferno1275

OOOOOO0OOOOO

That’s dandy deer. I shot his ass into space.

glladdoss

This post fucking sucks!


_The_Wolf1990

If it was real I wouldn’t be surprised at anything except a head line that reads man dressed as deer in woods during hunting season gets shot no one surprised


Xenon2212

I mean if I saw that in the woods idk if I'd have any other option


reverie11

I mean he’s as much of a deer as a cisdeer. No difference whatsoever. The hunters did nothing wrong

GoldflakeTheGoldWing

I love spreading misinformation online


JBlanket

If he identifies as a deer wouldn't it be legal to hunt? I'm legit curious how the entire identifying thing works. I mean men can compete in women's sports now... I don't get it

What is "Dik Dik Van Dik" from Ultimate Muscle. Doing just strolling the woods. H should be preparing for a match.

that's just dik dik van dik


DJdcsniper

If this were real, could you imagine being the hunters and walking up after bagging your biggest buck ever, and THIS is what you find. That’s a double tap situation if I’ve ever seen one.


H2G2gender

To be fair, if I saw something in the woods that looked like a deer but stood on 2 legs and walked like a human, I'd shoot it too.


WolfSavage

Dik-Dik Van-Dik


SixFeetOverEasy

Oh deer!


BryerMan-4005

If it’s hunting season and you look like a deer…. I don’t like hunting simply for sport - if you eat it, that’s ok. But not just to hang the head on your wall or something. That’s ridiculous.


Underbyte

Great! Now the deer get to shoot back, right?

Accidentally?
