Bundy Effect

The Bundy effect is a psychological and social phenomenon in which an individual’s physical attractiveness, charm, or charisma distracts others from recognizing or acknowledging their dangerous, manipulative, or criminal behavior. Named after serial killer Ted Bundy, who notoriously used his good looks and persuasive demeanor to gain the trust of his victims and manipulate public perception, the Bundy effect highlights how people may underestimate or excuse harmful actions due to superficial traits.

“Despite multiple red flags in his behavior, the Bundy Effect was in full force—everyone was too charmed by his confidence and smile to see the manipulation underneath.”

toxic pacifism 

Toxic pacifism refers to the excessive or misguided promotion of peace and non-confrontation in ways that ultimately enable harm, injustice, or abuse. It involves avoiding conflict or discomfort at all costs—even when confrontation is necessary to address wrongdoing, protect the vulnerable, or seek justice. Toxic pacifism often masks itself as virtue but can result in the silencing of victims, the protection of oppressors, or the perpetuation of harmful systems by prioritizing harmony over accountability.

I can't come up with an example of toxic pacifism :(
