When you are predisposed to hate a character that shows up on screen but you are surprised that he/she was not as annoying as you thought.
When Uncle Grandpa cameoed on Steven Universe, it was sort of like the Olaf Effect. You would think you would hate him, but you didn't (sort of).

A form of logically fallacious reasoning that involves winning an argument by taking a contrarian position that is left just vague enough to where they win the argument regardless of which side comes out on top.
Named after the famous scene from the Seinfeld episode "The Bubble Boy."

There's a certain beat-you-at-your-own-gameiness to "The Card Says Moops" Maneuver. "Safe spaces are bullshit, but if you get one I get one, too." "There's no such thing as systemic oppression, but if there were, I'd be oppressed." It's dismissing the rhetoric of social justice while also trying to use it against you. Claiming "the card says 'Moops'" does not so much mean "I believe the people who invaded Spain in the 8th century were literally called 'The Moops'," but rather "you can't prove I don't believe it." Not a statement of sincere belief; simply moving a piece across the board. All in the game, yo.

The use of brute-force and hard solutions to beat a problem into shape, created from a moral righteousness through strength. Contrast with soft power.
"Toby Maguire's Spider-Man largely uses what's known in international relations as hard power - he rushes into battle, relying on brute strength to stop his foes. There's no time for negotiations with the Green Goblin, Doc Ock and The Sandman. Just some good ol' fashioned fisticuffs"

A subgenre of exploitation film that focuses overtly on Christian themes and seeks to relay a religious agenda in favor of Christianity (sometimes even a specific denomination there-of) to the point of being propaganda. Films usually involve themes of patriotism, traditionalism, conservative values, depictions of Christians as an oppressed minority class, non-Christians portrayed as either non-existent or morally bankrupt, insane troll logic used to justify the protagonists, etc.
With the boom of Pure Flix and Kirk Cameron films like "God's Not Dead", "Old Fashioned" and "Fireproof", we are facing a new wave of mainstream Christploitation cinema.
