The Costner Effect

When a movie star, confusing reality with one of their films, promises to save the world with a plot device that doesn't work.

The first known instance of The Costner Effect was when Kevin Costner told Congress a dedicated fleet of boats with his machines could protect the coastlines.

Nabokov Effect

The Nabokov effect is a phenomenon in media that starts off as a ironic self expressive "pointing fun at it" media that the consumers (majority) turn into romanticization or idealization of a particular action or lifestyle. Nabokov's Lolita is the blueprint of such, he wrote a book called Lolita from the pedophiles (Humbert-Humbert's) prespective. Hollywood took it upon themself to turn the message into a 180° pedophilia romanticization media.

Other examples include (but not limited to):
Filthyfrank's persona, Lana Del Rey (fem manipulator) music, killing stalking (manga).

Bro I do not like my gf always listening to Lana Del Rey, she now want's the break up with me and be a trophy wife!

The Ellis Effect

The Ellis Effect is a theoretical hypothesis involving the ability of men named Ellis. The effect describes thier uncanny ability to cause others to drink excessive amounts of alcohol. They are essentially drinking catalysts. Be very careful when drinking around an Ellis. We do not have enough data to fully understand the extent of their charisma on others.

"We tried to collect observational data on The Ellis Effect, unfortunately he drank all the data."

Friend 1: "what happened to you last night?"
Friend 2: "I got way too plastered because I got caught in The Ellis Effect."

The Dotson Effect

Defined when rules that abundantly clear for absolutely everyone else, become subject to circumvention because the documentation is not designed for every "what if" condition.

The D.C.F.L is under the Dotson Effect once again due to the Ballers GM having an issue with the add/drop process.

Kisaragi Effect

You don't find it; it finds you.
Derived from a famous original song on YouTube about the Kisaragi Station. The video lacks a title, and so does the channel behind it.

I found an ominous video from an incredibly small channel on my recommendations today. Did anyone else get this Kisaragi Effect?
