Panam Effect

A term used used to describe characters that offer an amazing experience while taking part in their story line, but feel lifeless after their story finishes. Often causing the immersive illusion to shatter.

The term is based on the character Panam in Cyberpunk 2077. Her Panam effect was falling into a deep loving relationship with you during her story, but her ai afterwards becomes shallow to a point it acts like she completely forgotten.
User 1. I’m hurting man. Have you ever fell finished a storyline and loved a companion, but then it’s like they completely forgot who you were?

User 2. Same! Happens all the time. The Panam Effect is the worst. I wish the ai had more depth.

the gateway effect

If you have ever wondered why right-wings ban anything, it is easily explained by this phenomenon. You see, once something deviant, yet harmless is 'experimented with,' it leads to a crazy hunger for anything slightly resembling the questionable treat! This leads to a destructive lifestyle, a lot of pain accompanied with a deteriorating physical appearance, and death!
Leftist Deviant Hippeh: "Why is pot bad?"
Right-wing Nutjob: "The gateway effect!!!11Shiftasdf!! One bad thing leads to another..."
LDH: (sarcastically) "Oh... I see! Pot is a gateway effect like gay marriage would be to marriage with animals, underage children, and middle-easterns!"
RWN: "Exactly!"
