GI Effect

The GI effect is when a reenactor or someone roleplaying as an American soldier isn't a good sport and dies from the opposing side in war reenactments. The GI effect can also be found in online games such as Garry's Mod where people on the American team get mad whenever they are killed in the game and try to get an admin to ban their killer.

Viet Cong Reenactor: Hey, I shot you.
American Reenactor under the GI Effect: That's fucking bullshit bro you can't fucking shoot me with your inferior AK-47.

The Nubby Effect

The Nubby Effect simply means that someone who is gay/ pro LGBTQ+ will project their views onto you until you are just like them. Engulfing one into a system of beliefs that makes you bisexual or gay in any manner.

Nubby and JJ broke up months ago, now she is a bisexual goth girl who can simply be acquainted with weed. This is a prime example of how The Nubby Effect can change someone in a matter of a couple of months.
