Topic: Therian

A No Agenda producer shared a report about a "Therian" social contagion in a rural school, where a student convinced 70% of her female peers that they identified as animals. The report describes children as young as four wearing tails and masks to school and behaving like cats or dogs. The producer ultimately chose to homeschool their children after the school refused to address the behavior, which they characterized as a predatory peer network influence.

A TikTok clip features an individual named Horace who identifies as a "therian," claiming to be a red-tailed hawk trapped in a human body. The hosts use the clip to mock the platform's content and the idea that such data poses a significant national security threat to the United States.

A TikTok user identifying as "Samuel" described being a "canine therian," a person who identifies as a non-human animal for spiritual or psychological reasons. Samuel explained that this identity involves a disconnect from humanity and a soul that feels like a dog or wolf. The hosts discussed this as an extreme example of modern identity trends found on social media.
