Get the Ken Effect mug.once 2 people of opposite gender converge on a single point, a new person (usually female, but sometimes male) will join the room, and thus the balance tipped. With this new change in gender, more of the dominant gender flock, trying to get the attention of the lone male (or female)
Once there's a 3 - 5 to 1 ratio, another male will join, and thus the ho effect has hit full circle.

Get the Smollett Effect mug.The Tsuda-Effect, in short, the Tsuda-Effect is a complicated phenomenon that occurs to some whenever the famed voice actor Tsuda Kenjiro speaks.
People of all genders will (soon) swoon for the man and thus get affected by the Tsuda-Effect, be it a little hum, a chuckle, or an entire lap of text straight from Tsuda Kenjiro’s voice and the ones who’ve previously been known to be simps, will be hit.
And they will be hit hard, because for at least a week the people who are affected will have reoccurring thoughts about the character he voiced.
