The Lumi Paradox is a paradox where a person is trapped between the borders of cringe and based.
If a person is cringe, it is considered based to dislike them. However, if said person dislikes themselves, does that then mean they are based? If that is the case then is it still based to dislike them, or is it now cringe?

Paradox player: "Yeah, I just bought all the DLC for HOI4, so y'know"
Normal person: "Wow, how much was it?"
Paradox player: "Oh, y'know, just £37 in the steam sale"
Normal person: "Isn't that a bit much? I mean, you must've been under that Paradox pressure."
Paradox player: " *scoff*, you're a bit too much"

The act of simultaneously ejaculating and soiling oneself during intercourse. The "paradox" to which the name refers is the question as to whether one should cease the act of coitus in order to go to the bathroom and defecate, or to continue and risk the consequences.

A result of the hype surrounding the 2009 movie The Hangover.
Everybody who first paid to see it expected it to be terrible. They were all surprised by how good it was.
These people recommended it to their friends, thereby hyping it up.
Their friends went to see it, expecting it to be brilliant, only to be disappointed by how it wasn't as good as they were expecting.
= The Hangover Paradox.

An example of Paradox is not possible, as you cannot fully replicate her persona and beauty in written terms.
