Poncho de Nigris has sparked controversy by criticizing the 'therians', a community of people who identify as animals, which has gained attention in Mexico recently.
In recent days, a new social trend has emerged in Mexico, fueled by social media, known as 'therians', referring to individuals who identify with animals. This growing phenomenon has started to manifest on the streets of Mexico City, with initial gatherings for the community planned, including an upcoming event at Ciudad Universitaria. As the trend gains momentum, discussions around it are escalating on various platforms, even reaching entertainment shows and attracting the attention of psychological experts.
Poncho de Nigris, a prominent figure and former participant in the reality show 'La casa de los famosos', publicly criticized the therian community through a TikTok video addressed to his large following. He expressed his disapproval by stating, "Enough with disturbed people", a remark that has sparked further debate and division among viewers. His comments reflect a growing unease among some sectors of Mexican society regarding non-traditional identities and practices, highlighting the tension between emerging social movements and traditional viewpoints.
The rise of the threrians in Mexico suggests a significant cultural shift, with the potential for increased visibility and acceptance of diverse identities. However, the backlash from public figures like De Nigris indicates that resistance remains strong, as many people grapple with understanding and adapting to new societal norms. The dialogue surrounding this trend is likely to continue, further polarizing opinions and driving discussions around identity, acceptance, and mental health in contemporary Mexico.
