The word Hindenburg being derived from the airship "Hindenburg"; To categorize a subject/object through a Hindenburg Effect is to say that the mentioned subject/object once had a high reputation or a prestige record in something, say what happened to Pewdiepie with the whole Fiverr thing, and then in one fell swoop, destroys their own standing/popularity by their own doing and ruins the state of other objects around them, also like how the Fiverr incident made advertisers pull out from YouTube, and WSJ milking the words "pewdiepie" and "nazi".
TL;DR: To take something's high reputation and have them ruin it themselves and their surrounding state.

(To use an outdated but relevant example)
Guy1: You heard what happened to that Pewdiepie dude? I heard he's a nazi!
Guy2: No, you've got it wrong, he's not a nazi, that's just another claim from his own Hindenburg Effect.

When someone of lowest status attempt to gain the respect of others by ridiculing another person which they perceive as unpopular; typically the bullying is taken too far or in some other way results negatively for the instigator.
The Farva effects can be best described in the following scenario:
Joseph is small dweeby kid at school who is picked on continuously. Brian, however, is a "social retard" who wants desperately to fit in. One day, in an attempt to gain the popularity of those who Brian sees as admirable or popular, Brian grabs Joseph, punches him in the face, gives him a wedgie and nearly drowns him while attempting to give him a swirly before one of the football players comes to his rescue. Normally the football team likes to tease Joseph, but in this case Brian was seen as just a bully, and trying to make himself fit in - the result is that Brian is further ostracized as Brian looks cruel or desperate.

Best explained by Frodo Baggins to Gandalf about Bilbo’s 111th birthday.
"Half the Shire's been invited. And the rest of them are turning up anyway."
Often happens at weddings and teenage/frat parties or events in small towns. What happens is when you invite your “A List” of family and friends half say they are not coming. So you send out your “B list” to give them a chance to come and hopefully keep the minimum number of people you set out to invite. However what can happen instead is that the people who said they weren’t coming come and even brings guests as well. Because of the majority of people moving in with each other instead of getting married marriage has become an "event".

Mother of the bride: "Hey was that the Andersons? I thought the invite said that they couldn't bring their kids. And who is that?"
Maid of honor"Its the Shire effect mom."
