Borrowed from English 'anti,' アンチ refers to people who go beyond simple dislike to actively post negative comments, spread rumors, or harass public figures and creators online. The term is especially common in idol, VTuber, and content creator fandoms. Unlike casual critics, アンチ are seen as persistent and obsessive in their negativity. The related expression アンチコメント (anti-comment) refers to hateful comments.
