Fabelmans effect

A factor that can be taken into consideration for every Steven Spielberg movie. The fact that every Spielberg film takes some inspiration from his personal life. Once one has seen The Fabelmans (2022), it gives them a different perspective on every Spielberg film.
Of course you have to consider the Fabelmans effect when talking about Close Encounters

The Soulmate Effect

No matter how dismal or down you are you talk to this one person and they either make you feel better or stand right next to you until you are through your struggle.
I couldn't have made it through that awkward week with that weird theater carny caravan without that counter balance of The Soulmate Effect over the phone.

Seinfeld Effect

The Seinfeld Effect is when a cultural work is so popular that many creators copy or take inspiration from it, making the original style common. As a result, when someone watches the original, it no longer feels special because they’ve already seen it repeated elsewhere.
"When I finally saw the original, it didn’t blow me away like I expected — the Seinfeld Effect had kicked in. I’d already seen so many versions of its ideas that it just felt familiar instead of groundbreaking."

Lafazan Effect

When protections for protected classes, including historically discriminated communities, are afforded to historically privileged groups. For instance, Blacks are prosecuted more often for hate crimes than are Whites, when Blacks were intended to be protected against hate crimes. Background: New York Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan introduced a bill that identifies county police as a protected class. Such a bill will have the effect of prosecuting those demanding reforms and changes in a historically biased police force.
Looks like Terryl is getting prosecuted for hate crimes because he called his attacker "white" while defending himself - he's getting the full Lafazan Effect.

after-burn effect

When you crack a good joke that causes someone to involuntarily chuckle for an extended time after.
I see that Emily is feeling that after-burn effect; she can't stop laughing!

Imaginary Friend Effect

When a person seems invisible or unheard in group functions and only seems to be interacted with in one on one conversations.

In groups they are often ignored and their opinion is disregarded. Like a child's imaginary friend, they only seem to exist when no one else is around.
I feel like I only exist with one person. I must have the Imaginary Friend Effect.

The Shardy affect/effect

yes effect or affect because the shardy affect/effect is when a man or woman finds people who are potentially attracted to them or even the slightest bit attracted to them(cute) and manipulates them unconsciously making you think the world is yours when really it’s all a similar situation to a genjutsu and you hold no power except defeat
from the perspective of the “shardy” the shardy affect/effect is when a person who is the slightest bit attracted to you even just thinking you look cute can easily be manipulated, making them think u are giving them the world and you are all they need in life gaslighting and ego boosting them with toxic love for example hype them up for 2 days in a row telling them how attractive they are and the 3rd day act like they are just “ighh” then proceed to follow up the next day by telling them u apologize if u came off rude your just “going through a lot” and proceed to hype them up eventually you will do this unconsciously and their love will grow uncontrollably for you to the point where they will do anything for you.
