Named after filmmaker Martin Scorsese, the "Scorsese Effect" is when a work of art is created to negatively portray a character or group of people, but unintentionally inspires fans to try and imitate them. Usually these people misunderstand the point of the film and think the message was to try and be like the protagonist. Many of Scorsese's movies are centered around characters like these, such as "The Wolf of Wall Street," "Taxi Driver," and "Goodfellas".
Other examples include "Fight Club," "Breaking Bad," "The Sopranos," and the Joker.

Guy 2: Yeah, it's the Scorsese Effect at work.
Mark: We live in a society.

A group or person who will not consider another person's opinion as valid due to their age; i.e. they are younger so their opinion is invalid.
I'm big you're little, and there is nothing you can do about it. This would be an example of the Trunchbull Effect.
