The effect that happens when the particularly obnoxious fanbase of a video game lowers your opinion of the game itself. It is important to remember that a horrible fanbase does not necessarily make a bad game.
"I don't know man, I'm seriously getting sick of hearing about Skyrim. Do I even want to bother with a game that only meme-spewing idiots seem to enjoy?"
"Don't bash the game itself until you play it- you're getting the FF7 effect, dude."

The Jordy Effect takes place in situations where someone is lying to you about watching Netflix, his or her brother screams from the other side of the house saying that they are lying. This creates an abundance of emotions bottled up in you such as embarrassment and anger.
Kid 1: Do you have Netflix?
Kid 2: No I don't, i wish i did though.
Jordie: Yes you do you were watching Money Heist last night!
Kid: *Embarrased* that must be The Jordie Effect!
Kid 2: No I don't, i wish i did though.
Jordie: Yes you do you were watching Money Heist last night!

The effect that happens in a situation where an innocent bystander is accused and punished for committing an action or crime that they did not make because the real perpetrator is too famous or essential to be punished.
This is referenced by the infamous incident where an episode of Pokémon was aired in Japan and gave numerous kids seizures due to rapidly flashing lights, caused by an attack from Pikachu. Since Pikachu was and still is the poster boy for the Pokémon franchise, Porygon, the starring Pokémon of the episode, was blamed and punished instead despite not being responsible for it.

Person 1: Why am I being punished for something I didn't do? It was clearly Jimmy's fault!
Person 2: It's the Porygon Effect; Jimmy's too important to be punished.
