Waifu Effect

The Waifu Effect describes a phenomenon in which a fictional work or character gains popularity solely by containing what many people consider to be "waifu-material"(see "Waifu" entry for more info). The work in question often becomes famous for such, and the Waifu Effect can often (but not always) overshadow other elements, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Many shows/media intentionally exploit this phenomenon in order to market their products, which can also be used to hide negative qualities.

The Waifu effect is particularly noticeable within the fanart community, as it can shoot characters/works into the spotlight through the Waifu effect alone. In order for a work to benefit from the Waifu effect, the characters must be diverse and varied. They must have enough of a background to give artists a jumping-off point, but be open enough so that artists have enough wiggle room to insert their own creativity into it. Some big examples that exhibit the Waifu Effect phenomenon are Kantai Collection and Touhou Project.
Overwatch fan: Man, have you been seeing all the amazing Overwatch fanart from Japan artists lately?

JRPG enthusiast: That's unexpected, I thought that Japan didn't really like FPS games. Why would a western FPS like Overwatch ever be popular there?

Overwatch fan: Nah, it's the Waifu Effect, I'm tellin' ya. Put enough attractive and diverse female characters into your work and artists/social media are bound to jump on that shit.

The Markle Effect

A castle built on sand. Corrupted by one persons touch. To be royally f*cked up. To rot from the inside.
She swanned in and acted as though she was Queen. We thought the extra publicty would be beneficial. In truth the whole thing turned to sh*t. They call it The Markle Effect. We are royally f*cked.

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."
