Speedy Gonzales effect

a phenomenon where a creative work (e.g. a character or a song) is criticized to be stereotypical and degrading by white people, but beloved by the minority that they say they degrade
In the US, Avril Lavigne’s song “Hello Kitty” was slammed for racially stereotyping and sexualizing Japanese people, but it was received positively in Japan, since Lavigne has always publicly appreciated Japanese culture. The song is an instance of the Speedy Gonzales effect.

The Lost Puppy Effect

A type of attitude, behavior or personality exhibited in somewhat attractive men and women that causes them to come across as sad, lonely and weak. In some way or another, these people find relationships in which their lover finds their behavior cute or charming.

Often times, these relationships are short-lived due to the partner of the lost puppy realizing their lover is a total pussy.

As well as this, victims of the lost puppy effect are often unaware that they come across like this.
