The feeling that fans of a certain fandom feels when they realize that they share the same fandom, fanbase or fondness for a certain piece of fiction or character with a fantard or fanwanker. Usually, that fantard in the fandom fanwanks their favorite character, story or piece of fiction and this causes feelings of shame, disappointment and even anger in other fans since that person is making them look bad. All of these accumulated emotions and feelings is called the Raigen Effect.
The term first came into usage in an internet forum that's called the Outskirts Battledome where a fan decided to fan wank his favorite pieces of fiction and as a result everyone around him felt massive disappointment and even hatred for him since he's making them look like fanwankers and fantards. Hence, the term Raigen Effect was coined to describe these feelings.
Sometimes, all of these accumulated feelings will cause fans to even hate the piece of fiction that they like or to leave the fandom that they were a part of if the Raigen Effect becomes too strong. This feeling is most evidently observed when a normal DBZ fan realizes that his fanbase is filled with nothing but DBZtards.

The Raigen Effect is a term for the collection of feelings that one feels when he realizes that someone terrible likes the same thing that he likes and that terrible person is a bloody fantard that everyone hates.

(FINANCE) someone like Carl Icahn or Victor Posner; a manager of a PE fund or takeover vehicle (e.g., T. Boone Pickens with Mesa Petroleum) who organizes hostile takeovers of undervalued corporations.
WHY THEY'RE BAD
Corporate raiders insist they're looking out for the shareholder by forcing the managers to focus on increasing the value of the firm. If a company's share prices are high, it supposedly reflects well on the management of the firm; if the prices are low, the shareholders presumably would benefit from the takeover battle and subsequent change of management.
The flaw in this argument is (a) shareholders are not the only stakeholders in the corporation; workers, neighbors, and consumers also have interests that deserve protection; and (b), the impact of the corporate raider on FUTURE shareholders is inherently damaging over the long run because the targeted corporation's share prices are driven to a higher baseline anyway. After the takever battle between the raider and management, FUTURE buyers of the stock pay a higher price but are stuck with stagnant share prices because further increases don't make economic sense.
If the leveraged buyout succeeds, the company is saddled with debt in excess of its book value, which imposes an extreme burden; if it fails (greenmail), then company is still saddled with immense debt.

Usually a corporate raider makes his killing by risking (and mostly losing) the money of other people.
He usually quotes Ayn Rand bromides about his adversaries being moochers and wreckers, but he destroys the livelihood of thousands, and he makes his fortune through ambush.
