What Farid said below. I would assume le sserafim has read Nassim Taleb, because that is where this term originated from.
The concept of antifragility uses examples from science and mathematics to argue that some systems are strengthened by encounters with disorder. It is an interesting concept that basically says you can thrive in a system of disorder, randomness, or stress. Antifragility goes beyond mere resilience (the ability to bounce back from adversity) in that it embraces and gains from uncertainty. Decentralization, diversity, experimentation and innovation are characteristics of antifragile systems as they allow continuous improvement and new learning from disruptions.
Say you got laid off. You could view that as a chance to not only bounce back (find a new job), but also as a chance to expose yourself to better job or career opportunities, as well as anything that could improve your wellbeing. Basically, it's the "improvise, adapt, overcome" meme.
The hacker group Anonymous is also an incredibly good example of antifragility. No matter how hard governments and law enforcers try to destroy the organization, it will never cease to die due to how it's structured.

While most portfolios crumbled during the stock market crash, Dave's grew in value thanks to its antifragile properties. By diversifying across asset classes instead of focusing on any one sector, his portfolio benefited from the volatility instead of breaking under the pressure.

Someone who really hates the furry community. They are often incredibly immature and set out to verbally attack, send death threats or even physically attack furries in some cases. A common motto for this community is "it's hunting season boys" or some goofy shit like that.
There are antifurries out there that respect the furry community despite being against it. These antifurries generally don't refer to themselves as antifurries to avoid the cringeworthy connotations of the word, but some might.
Antifurries are typically no older than 13, although there are grown ass men out there that label themselves as such, which is hilariously sad.

Get the Antifeminist mug.Antigy is giving substance to something that does not exist in reality. A measurement or description is antigic if it is only observable through the absence of something observable, commonly with regards to silence, darkness, and coldness; which describe the lack of measurable sound, light, and heat, respectively. An easy way to understand antigy is realizing that silence cannot actually be heard.
"I looked in the fridge and counted zero beers." Is a fun example of antigy, used as a potentially humorous emphasis on the lack of beers. This is antigic because zero is the lack of counting.
Although we often keep doors shut in the winter to 'keep the cold out', that is an antigic notion. In reality, we are describing the desire to keep the heat in. Cold is an antigy, while heat is an energy. There is no cold energy, only heat energy.
"Although antigic, the silence in the room was deafening." Sound exists as a sensation, while silence is specifically the lack of auditory sensation. In this example, antigy is used in hyperbole to accentuate how profound an antigic experience can be.
A wall can be painted black, but describing a wall as 'very black' is an example of antigy. Quantifying blackness and darkness are antigic descriptions, as light has substance and can be measured, but darkness can only be measured by not measuring light.
"My husband is always gone!," could be said to be slightly antigic, since the husband is most likely not completely 'gone' from existence. A less antigic way to say the same thing would be "My husband is always gone from home" or "My husband is always away."
Being nowhere, doing nothing, meeting nobody, and having none - are antigic phrases - since something cannot be 'nowhere', one cannot 'do' nothing, you cannot 'meet' nobody, and you cannot 'have' none. Nowhere by itself is an antigic word since 'nowhere' simply does not exist.
