Hindenburg Effect 

The word Hindenburg being derived from the airship "Hindenburg"; To categorize a subject/object through a Hindenburg Effect is to say that the mentioned subject/object once had a high reputation or a prestige record in something, say what happened to Pewdiepie with the whole Fiverr thing, and then in one fell swoop, destroys their own standing/popularity by their own doing and ruins the state of other objects around them, also like how the Fiverr incident made advertisers pull out from YouTube, and WSJ milking the words "pewdiepie" and "nazi".

TL;DR: To take something's high reputation and have them ruin it themselves and their surrounding state.
(To use an outdated but relevant example)
Guy1: You heard what happened to that Pewdiepie dude? I heard he's a nazi!
Guy2: No, you've got it wrong, he's not a nazi, that's just another claim from his own Hindenburg Effect.

When one has had so much sex that their cock is rubbed raw but they have sex again anyway and it burns like a motherfucker and just as they reach a climax and cum they yell, “Oh the humanity!”
“Sorry, Betty. We need to slow down. That last fuck was the Hindenburg for me. My dick is a disaster.”

The Hindenburg

During protected intercourse, the man starts to urinate inside his condom while in the doggy style position. As the condom starts filling up with pee, he pulls out and yells in his best German accent "Das Hindenburg!!" and proceeds to pee until the condom explodes all over his partners back.
Tim: "Did you pee your bed last night?"
