He therian phenomenon gains ground in the Dominican Republic and even plans a meeting this February 27 in Independence Parksomething that has not been taken well by some citizens.
Those who identify as therians claim to feel a involuntary connection and lasting with a specific animal, known as a “teriotype”.
Given the growth of this trend, the newspaper HOY conducted a survey in the streets of the Colonial Zone to find out the opinion of Dominicans.
“That I I see it wrongpeople are going crazy already. They look for identity, they disguise themselves and they can hurt anyone,” said Fausto Díaz.
Jesús González, a Puerto Rican who had just arrived in the country for vacation, considered that “people are sick in the head,” and that “People are making fun of it. “Every crazy person has their own topic, but Artificial Intelligence has damaged people’s minds.”
For González, the themes of mental health.
Díaz commented that, if a family member identifies with this trend and adopts these attitudes, even though they do not like it nor would they provide support, “It’s not going to discriminate either.”.
“That looks very ugly. “Animals have to walk like animals and people like people.” said Leonardo Soto, who added that emphasis needs to be placed on mental health.
“That’s a lot of laziness, I I don’t find logic to none of that,” said Cinthia Martínez.
Martínez commented that social networks have promoted the trend and that in the Dominican Republic “they want to catch all the fashions.”
Among the most forceful reactions were also heard phrases such as: “The veterinarian should come look for them and put them all in a truck” and “people have problems believing they are animals.”
The therian phenomenon, which has gained visibility mainly through social networks, is beginning to generate conversation in the country, especially after the call for a meeting on a symbolic date such as February 27, National Independence Day.
