Tanya is a fighter from the Mortal Kombat series, and Deception refers to Mortal Kombat: Deception, the fighting game where her deceptive, traitorous character was a central part of the story. Clips of character screams and defeat sounds from fighting games were widely ripped and shared on soundboards in the 2010s, where short vocal reactions became reusable meme audio. This scream survived because it is not tied to dialogue, so creators can place it over any shocking moment, betrayal or painful fail and the meaning stays clear.
