The 'Raven' effect.

When you cause an event to happen by trying to avoid it.
Trying to stop something from happening while causing it to happen.

Derives from Thats so Raven since she always tries to not let her visions come through by actually causing them to happen.

Coined by Robert A. Taylor Jr. Jamaica
E.g. As a woman, offers to pay for a dinner so your date will think highly of you. But then he tells you that you obviously dont know how to be treated by a man.

Eg. As a parent, go to your child's school on the first day to ensure he doesnt get bullied, but the kids make fun of him calling him a baby because youre there.

So you cause The 'Raven' Effect. by going there in the firsr place.
