Pygmalion Effect

The Pygmalion Effect explains that people tend to perform up to the level that others expect of them. This effect explains why our relationships are usually self-fulfilling prophecies. Once you set expectations for somebody, that person will tend to live up to that expectation, whether it's good or bad.
But the Pygmalion Effect also applies to your personal growth. Your beliefs about yourself impact your actions towards others, which influence their beliefs about you and their actions towards you.

Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. ... In educational circles, this has been termed the Pygmalion Effect, or more colloquially, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Bean Effect

The Bean Effect is when a top tier bum that lives off of McDoubles, Golf, and Nicotine somehow finds a way to have multiple females hypnotized through his malicious, womanizing ways leading them to believe he loves them. The Bean Effect may also cause the male to have outrageous thoughts such as believing he can love more than one female at once.

The Riddlerbat Effect

Named after the ship between Bruce Wayne/Batman and Edward Nygma/The Riddler from the 2022 movie “The Batman”, The Riddlerbat Effect is where ship content made by a teenager, that most commonly (but not always) involves two grown men that are greatly mischaracterized as if they were half their age; woobification. This is due to the fact that teens can’t relate to people in their 30s, nor do they have any idea what grown adults with full-time jobs do in their free time.

I can tell that The Riddlerbat Effect is kicking in with JohnJack over there. Why else would teenagers draw John Doe as a neet twink and Jack Deer as a brooding emo?
