Why is Chihaya Anon called "Tang"? An in-depth analysis of the origin and duality of this most controversial meme in MyGO!!!!!

In the fan community of "BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!", countless nicknames and memes have emerged around the characters. Among them, the most discussed and controversial is undoubtedly the single-word label exclusively for Chihaya Anon—"Tang". This term frequently appears on major forums and video bullet comments, confusing many new viewers. This article will delve into the origins of the internet meme "Chihaya Anon Tang", analyze why Anon was given this label, and explore the complex fan emotions behind it.

Origin of the Meme: A Controversial Internet Term

First, it must be clarified that the nickname "Tang" is not an official setting but entirely originates from Chinese-speaking internet communities, especially on platforms like Bilibili and Baidu Tieba where ACG enthusiasts gather. In internet culture, this character is an abbreviation and euphemism for "Down syndrome", initially carrying strong discriminatory and derogatory connotations, used to describe someone's behavior as foolish or unreasonable.

However, as internet memes evolved, the meaning of this term in specific contexts (particularly in anime character discussions) gradually changed. It began to be used to describe a trait of "behavior full of comedic effect due to excessive naivety, clumsy planning, or lack of thorough thinking". Although its roots are highly controversial and should not be promoted, when discussing Chihaya Anon, fans mostly adopt the latter meaning—a "clumsiness" with a teasing and affectionate tone.

Why Chihaya Anon? The "Tang" Aspects of the Clumsy Strategist

The reason Chihaya Anon was labeled with "Tang" is closely tied to her unique "small-fry vibe" and clumsy behavior patterns:

1. Naive yet Utilitarian Plans: In the early story, Anon planned to form a band to become popular at her new school, with motivations full of utilitarianism. However, her plans were exceptionally naive, such as lightly assuming that just finding a vocalist would easily form a band, completely ignoring the complexity of interpersonal relationships. This behavior of thinking herself clever but frequently miscalculating is the main source of her "Tang" feeling.

2. Frequent "Anon-baku" (Anon Shock): Anon's emotions are extremely unstable; once her plans are disrupted or she encounters unexpected situations, she instantly panics, making strange noises or exaggerated reactions. These highly comedic breakdown scenes are jokingly called "Anon-baku" by fans, perfectly embodying her vulnerable and滑稽 side.

3. Contrasting Cuteness of Inconsistency: She tries hard to play the role of a sociable, situation-controlling "extrovert", but her inner monologues and private behaviors (like managing multiple SNS alt accounts) expose her anxiety and clumsiness. This contrast makes her "scheming" seem non-threatening and full of laugh-inducing charm.

4. Catalysis by Famous Scenes: In episode 7 when the band fell apart, her line "What about me?" after being forgotten by everyone pushed her helplessness, grievance, and out-of-the-loop特质 to the peak, becoming the classic representative scene of her "Tang" image.

From Derogatory to Term of Endearment: Fan Emotions Behind the Meme

Interestingly, although the origin of the character "Tang" is poor, within the fan community, for Anon, it is more often a "term of endearment". This emotion is complex:

• Harmless Clumsiness: Compared to the heavy behaviors of Soyo or Sakoto that can cause significant harm to others, Anon's "scheming" and plans are always much ado about nothing, often resulting in her hurting herself. This harmlessness makes her clumsiness particularly endearing.
• Relatable Authenticity: Anon's various behaviors stem from her inferiority complex after failing abroad and her ordinary desire for recognition. Her imperfections, her petty cleverness and major failures make this character extremely close to reality; viewers can see their own影子 in her, generating strong resonance and a protective desire.

Therefore, when fans say Anon is "very Tang", it is often not a malicious attack but an affectionate tease about her可爱 trait of "trying so hard yet always messing up".

Conclusion: A Successful "Imperfect" Character

The popularity of the "Chihaya Anon Tang" meme恰恰 proves the production team's great success in character development. They did not create a perfect, sunny girl but portrayed an ordinary person full of flaws, who schemes, panics, fails, yet is kind-hearted and strives forward. It is precisely this "imperfection" that brings clumsiness and authenticity, prompting fans to spontaneously create the "Tang" label to summarize all her charm. Although the term itself is debatable, what凝聚 behind it is the genuine喜爱 and resonance of the vast audience for the character Chihaya Anon.
