词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
【现象级网络符号的诞生】
2017年《王者荣耀》推出「妲己」角色，其语音包「请尽情吩咐妲己，主人」成为现象级meme。这标志着该词完成从历史名词到流行符号的蜕变：
第一阶段（2017-2019）：游戏圈内指代高伤害法师角色，衍生出「草丛三婊」黑话（妲己、安琪拉、王昭君）。
第二阶段（2020-2022）：破圈至娱乐圈，豆瓣小组用「当代妲己」形容选秀节目中操纵粉丝的选手，典型案例为《创造营2021》某选手后援会涉嫌PUA式集资。
第三阶段（2023至今）：词义泛化，出现「电子妲己」概念——特指让人熬夜爆肝的手机游戏。B站《完蛋！我被电子妲己包围了》二创视频播放量达2800万次。

DEFINITION
Daji carries three layers of meaning in Chinese culture:
- Historical figure: Controversial consort of King Zhou (1075–1046 BCE)
- Mythological archetype: Shapeshifting nine-tailed fox spirit symbolizing destructive seduction
- Modern internet slang: Evolved to describe:
- People/things with catastrophic allure ("the IRL Poison Ivy")
- Addictive game characters/vtubers ("genshin's Daji-tier waifus")
- Playful term for partners with mind-control charm
Cultural note: This term embodies the ancient Chinese concept of "红颜祸水" - the belief that beautiful women could bring calamity.
ETYMOLOGY
The Evolution of a Digital Icon
The term's modern revival began with Honor of Kings (2017), where Daji's voice line "Master, command me" became viral. This sparked three evolutionary phases:
Phase 1 (2017-2019): Gaming slang for burst mage characters, birthing the meme "Bush Bitches Trio" (Daji, Angela, Wang Zhaojun).
Phase 2 (2020-2022): Extended to reality TV, with Douban groups calling idol trainees "Modern Daji" for allegedly manipulating fans - notably during Produce Camp 2021 fundraising controversies.
Phase 3 (2023+): Conceptual expansion to "Digital Daji" - mobile games so addictive they "steal your sleep." Bilibili's parody video "Oh No! I'm Surrounded by Digital Daji" garnered 28M views.
