アンチ乙

Brainrot Score: 2.8 ⓘOBSERVED
[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

アンチ乙 (anchi otsu) is a Japanese internet phrase that, as commonly understood, pairs アンチ (a person who dislikes or opposes a specific target) with 乙, a chat abbreviation derived from お疲れ様 ("thanks for the effort"), to sarcastically dismiss a hater. This reading is built from the components; no page documenting the phrase itself was found.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""When a stranger kept posting insults under her videos, she replied with a single アンチ乙 and moved on.""

LORE & ORIGIN

No page that documents アンチ乙 as a term was found, so no origin or first use is claimed. Japanese Wikipedia describes アンチ as a Japanese-made English word for someone who dislikes or pushes back against a specific person, group, company or product, the opposite of a fan. A Wikipedia page on net slang notes that おつ (short for お疲れ様) was further converted into 乙. The sarcastic-reply sense is inferred from these parts, not from a source. The existing anti entry is the English fandom label; this entry is the Japanese phrase.
