No horny (Chinese: 不可以色色) is an Internet meme that is widespread in Chinese-language online communities, particularly in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It consists of a Shiba Inu named "Ponsan" (ポンさん) sitting in a shopping cart, with an index finger pointing at it, accompanied by a text "No horny" in Chinese. The meme is commonly used as a reaction to content that people find erotic or sexually suggestive. Serveral Yu-Gi-Oh!-style parody cards based on the meme have been created, and the meme has become a common symbol within Chinese-language Internet culture.[1][2]

Origin

The meme can be traced back to the "Silence, wench! I Don't Wanna Be Horny Anymore, I Wanna Be Happy", featuring a Doge cutting suggestive images. It is known as "柴柴武士" (lit, "Shiba Samurai") and Shiba Inu itself has become a symbol of overcoming sexual desire in Taiwan.[3] In 2021, netizens rediscovered a photo showing a Shiba Inu sitting in a shopping cart with a resentful expression while being chided. They later added a Chinese caption "No horny" to the image, and it went viral in Dcard and PTT.[1][4]

The dog

The dog in the original image is a female Shiba Inu named "Ponsan" (ポンさん). It was born on 6 January 2008 in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. The original image, which depicts Ponsan sitting in a shopping cart while being chided, was photographed in 2018. Its Instagram followers have increased since the meme went viral in Chinese-language online communities.[5][4]

From April 2025, Ponsan, who was aged 17 at the time, had suffered from Vestibular neuritis. The owner decided to euthanise Ponsan in the end.[5][4] On 31 August 2025, Ponsan's Instagram account posted an AI clip, featuring a group of aliens taking Ponsan into outer space, confirming its scheduled euthanasia tomorrow. Ponsan passed away on 1 September 2025 at the age of 17.[6][7][8]

The word "色色" is a reduplication of "色" ("lust"). In Chinese-language online communities, the meme is a common response in discussions involving sex or intimate relationships. It is generally seen as a humorous way of changing the subject rather than as a moral accusation.[1][2]

Several images in a Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game format has been created based on the image, and even developed a complex "system". Common cards include:

  • No horny (不可以色色): the card based on the original image.[1]
  • Yes horny (可以色色): a card counterattacking the "No horny" card.[1]
  • Anti-Horny Tabs (抗色色藥): a card similar to the "No horny" card, but implying that the recipient should take medical treatment for their sexual addiction.[1][2]
  • The horny jail (色色監獄): locking up all "horny" netizens into a "fictional" jail for their perverted behaviour.[3][1]
