Fang was seeded 65th in her [[Ms. /co/ 2020|first Ms. /co/ appearance]]. After defeating [[Mirror Tulip]] in Round 1, she faced the first seed and tournament favorite [[Toph Beifong]] in Round 2. However, the prospect of a dinosaur winning a waifu contest was too good to pass up, which became a key factor on the dinosaur's eventual upset win against the earthbender. She then proceeded to defeat humanoid /co/ waifus [[Mavis Dracula|Mavis]], [[Lord Dominator]], and two-time [[elite eight|elite 8]] member [[Starfire]] in the following rounds, gaining both vocal supporters and salty detractors along the way. Fang's rampage was eventually stopped in the semi-finals after she lost to eventual champion [[Dr. Mrs. The Monarch|Mrs. Monarch]] by just 9 votes; several anons have speculated that had it not been for Adult Swim cancelling ''Venture Bros'' at the time, Fang would have most likely been the champion. The dinosaur eventually placed third with a blowout win over [[Kim Possible]]. By the end of the contest, Fang ended up as the most popular subject of fan art, garnering over 100 entries in the Ms. /co/ booru from that contest alone. |

After a two year hiatus Fang returned in 2022, earning 1st seed. This was received with mixed results, as the past years had proven the top seed of the tournament tended to do poorly. Fang would narrowly win her first match against 128th seed Desiree, causing further worry that spite would soon knock her out of the contest. Fang, however, would go on to easily defeat her opponents for the next several rounds: Ahsoka, Gadget and then [[Raven]] for a spot in the Elite 8. She would win against [[Mrs. Brisby]] in the quarter-finals, an anticipated matchup that resulted in the "Brisbybros" throwing their support in with the "Fanggang" after Fang's win. Fang's win over Nicole Watterson allowed her to move onto the finals against [[Shirley the Medium]], with Fang ultimately triumphing with 54.9% of the vote. |

As in 2020, Fang's run was marked with controversy, with many anons voicing their feelings on how a literal dinosaur winning would tarnish what they felt was a conventional waifu contest, with others claiming Fang would not have done so well if the contest wasn't coinciding with the airing of Primal's second season. This sparked multiple discussions on Fang's character, but ultimately did not have a negative impact on her run. She again served as an inspiration for lots of OC. |
