The FNAF Effect

When a Indy Game becomes successful, then the fanbase ruins it via Toxicity, Fan Fiction, NSFW Fan Art, ETC. Ruining the experience for new comers, casual players of the game, and annoying those who don’t play the game alike.

I loved playing Among Us and Undertale, before they succumbed to The FNAF Effect.

The over usage and warping of the definition of a word or term, until it loses its meaning

*Posts actually decent dancing video
“Nice moves” “Huehuehue what a simp!”

Ex. “POV: you’re trying to hard to be famous”
*video proceeds to not include an actual POV shot
“Where was the POV?” “There wasn’t one. That’s the TikTok effect”

Duque Effect

Duque Effect ("efeito duque" in brazilian portuguese) is an event when people exchange informations and point of views with strangers who they once thought were known to each other in any way, but they were not. They simply gave up political and philosophical believes to a total stranger, misleading those who shared their view on recent global socioecocomics actions and happenings.

Bro, the Duque Effect just happened to us!! This is terrible!!!
