Feelings Yakuza is a synonym of anti-shipper that originated in a 19 February 2023 meta essay by Japanese fanartist Maromi[1]. It was translated into English by Orangiah[2], and the English translation was widely shared on Twitter[3] and Tumblr[4].
Orangiah included a translator's note:
TN: "feelings yakuza" is an internet slang term referring to "those who turn their personal discomfort into a social evil and try to erase the target completely"
The translator's note was widely shared, and many English-speaking fans liked the term.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
