What happens when a person first rejects altruist, collectivist, and mystical morality for a rationally self-interested one. It generally lasts a short time, but can have long term negative consequences for the self-interested individual. Until the individual sorts out his new values and long term goals, they walk around insulting altruists and people that value/love them; being worried that they have been taken advantage of by those they previously valued.
Ayn Rand effect:
Son: I've been reading Ayn Rand, and her book has lead me to question all my relationships. She says that collectivism is a sin and thus just because I belong to a race, family, nation or other group, it doesn't mean that it's in my self-interest to believe as they do. I need to have my own objective reasoning.
Father: So your rejecting your religion, family and everything I ever taught you because of a book?
Son: Well, I just don't think it's a justification for a morality anymore.
Father: I'm writing you out of my will. How's that for being rationally self-interested?

It's name comes from the two German voice actors Martin Sabel and Tim Knauer who's voices sound so similar you can barely tell the difference.

A phenomena in which someone plays a game that is both overwhelmingly flawed and exceedingly exceptional. Enjoyment of the game will increase during the play-through as the flaws are accepted and appear less often, while the positive traits increase in quality and quantity.
"I've never, EVER, felt this way about a game. I don't even know where to begin."
"Yep. That's the Xenoblade 2 effect."

When you see a garbage can that looks like a Among us character, You hum the among us effect. Sadly, there is no coming back from the among us effect once you have it, you have it forever.
