The Sobo Effect

The effect a guy with a shady, wild past has on women that typically should work against him, but somehow gives him an advantage instead. This is most likely due to the guy having enough charm to override the negatives.

"Hey, doesn't that girl know he has a kid, a girlfriend, and three side girls?"
"Yeah, I told her. She didn't care though. It's like she wanted the dick more. The guy has The Sobo Effect."

Joker Effect

When there is a character in a movie that is forced into a position where the audience can say “it’s not his fault, it’s society’s fault for making him like this”

Person 1: I feel like he deserves to get away scot free as society made him into that way
Person 2: Dude he literally killed a celebrity on National Television. I think you fell victim to the Joker Effect

Foxbat Effect

The Foxbat Effect is when an autocratic country, wanting to show how threatening and virile they are, overhype the effectiveness of their weapons, prompting wealthier and more powerful liberal democracies to develop weapons designed to actually counter the hyped-up weapons, only to then find out that the perceived threat was a turd.

So named for the MiG-25 “Foxbat”, which prompted the development of the F-15.

The T-90M’s missile countermeasures not working after NATO spent millions on weapons than can counter them is a prime example of the Foxbat Effect.
