Toby Fox Effect 

Share definition Flag
(Alternate definition)
From TVTROPES:
“With the release of Chapter 2, the fandom has noticed a pattern where Toby Fox includes a character who happens to be Tall, Dark, and Handsome compared to the rest of the cast (Mettaton, Rouxls Kaard, Swatch), but the fandom always lusts after the short, memetic, superboss instead (Sans, Jevil, Spamton).”
“Why is everyone lusting after that guy? This guy's so much hotter?”
“Toby Fox effect.”

Grindset

Share definition Flag
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
