On Nov. 22, 2020, World News Daily Report published an article positing that a trans species man who self-identified as a deer was mistakenly shot by a hunter: This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: Although this story originated on a satirical website, it was republished on social media and by other media outlets without any disclaimer labeling it as a work of fiction. It should also be noted that these pictures do not show a trans species man who identifies as a deer. They were taken circa 2009 and show a dancer in a bodypaint deer costume. While we have not been able to identify the performer, this humanimal was created by makeup artist Laura Baker and photographer Erik Erxon. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
