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.

Origin: Putin threatened to use military force & nuclear weapons against Finland & Sweden, to prevent them from applying for NATO membership. The two countries realized that they could not defend themselves against nukes & the entire Russian military if they stood alone, leading to them joining NATO.
Ergo threats meant to subdue these countries caused them to stand up against Russian imperialism.
