Krampus Syndrome

The term for a piece of media that unintentionally executes a major plot point (usually the finale) in a way that makes most audience members misinterpret the plot point as drastically differently from the way it canonically happens. Named for the 2015 film Krampus, which historically ends with the family getting a happy It's A Wonderful Life type 'it was all undone and is okay' happy ending, but is so badly visually executed on screen that almost everyone who views the film leaves convinced the family is trapped in a snowball in hell for all eternity.
(Often, but not always, the interpreted major plot point or finale is drastically less satisfying than the canon one).
"I hated that show! Ugh, it was so disappointing! Like I liked it until the finale, but it's so stupid when the end is just 'and it was all a dream'..."
"No-no--that's not how it ends! I looked it up; according to the director, he's just waking up to bookend it and show things are normal again. The canon is it all really happened."
"Wait, really? It looks nothing like that!"
"Yeah, it's a good show but it /really/ suffers Krampus Syndrome..."

Moblue-Syndrom

Unter Moblue-Syndrom versteht sich ein Streamer mit einer scheinbar antiproportionalen Viewer-zu-Chatter Aufteilung. Streamer, die unter dem Moblue-Syndrom leiden, finden sich oft mit 150 Zuschauern und 2 Chattern wieder. Dieses Phänomen, wenn auch nicht ganz so extrem ausgeprägt, konnte man zuvor häufig bei ASMR und Hot-Tub Streamern beobachten. Was genau das Moblue-Syndrom hervorruft ist bisher noch nicht ganz geklärt.
Sie hat 100 Viewer, aber irgendwie hat hier seit 4 Minuten niemand mehr geschrieben, außer "itmkoeln". Ich vermute sie leidet am Moblue-Syndrom.

Frankie Grande Syndrome

A relatively uncommon syndrome in which a brother and sister grow into two distinct people. The sister, or Ariana respectively, successfully climbs the ranks in society and is well praised for all aspects of themself, particularly looks. Meanwhile, the brother, or Franki, develops into a major flop that leads you to wonder where all the good-looking grande genes went.
