In modern history, there is no doubt that the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, last July is one of the most important and well-known events in the world. However, when something becomes known, misinformation arises. And no, in this article we will not talk about the conspiracy theories that circulate about this fact, but rather a more recent one that involves the anime industry.

It turns out that an alleged scene from the anime went viral on social media”My deer friend Nokotan (Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan)”, which shows the protagonist Noko Shikanoko giving a speech and stating that all citizens will now pay taxes on deer. Anko Koshiupset because this won't allow her to buy her sister's dakimakuras at the regular price, He takes out a sniper rifle and shoots at Shikanoko, missing and hitting her horn. (in reference to how Thomas Matthew Crooks missed his shot and only hit Trump's ear).

This segment went immensely viral and internet users began sharing it on social media stating that “the series dared to parody this event in one of its episodes”. However, it is obvious that this is all a big lie. In order to get interactions, some accounts shared the video pretending it was official, when in fact This is a fan-made animation, specifically by “Andree! Approximately.”

In fact, the clue was everywhere, from the watermark that appears throughout the video to the small banner that appears on the red section of the dais where Shikanoko is standing. However, the culture of “believing what you see first” and not investigating further still prevails.and there was no shortage of those who “ate it all”.
