This phenomenon refers to the heightened desire and attraction towards something that is prohibited or restricted. This phenomenon, also known as the Streisand Effect, is driven by the impulse to engage in forbidden actions, leading to increased interest and curiosity. For example, a ban on a movie can generate more interest than if the movie were widely available.
The Caligula effect was in full swing when the school banned that controversial book, making everyone want to read it even more.

Get the Tina Effect mug.A phenomenon where an introverted, shy, insecure person starts an unhealthy relationship with an extroverted, promiscuous, outgoing person.
These types of relationships, usually almost impossible to see, are only birthed when one of the parties is at a low point in their lives, and overall tend to happen because of one out of two reasons:
a. The extroverted party utilizes the loner as an easy way to obtain affection or sex, as they know the introvert is vulnerable and affection-starved.
b. The introverted party utilizes the socialite as an easy way to obtain affection or sex, as they know the extrovert is vulnerable and heartbroken.
Regardless, the nature of these relationships is inherently incompatible, incoherent, imbalanced, and manipulative, and thus always ends quickly (or lasts in a forced manner because of one-sided pressure from either of the parties involved).
The name of this phenomenon is named after the city of Saratov, Russia, infamous with surrounding locals for its promiscuous women and nerdy men.

B: "It's just the Saratov effect, bro. Brittany had broken up with Chad when she took an interest in Joe."
A: "Yeah, they'll probably break up in no time..."

The Mungus effect (named after Hugh Mungus) describes the backfiring of a post made by a SJW or triggered Feminist about how she got "assaulted" or "harassed". More specifically:
In the attempt to show that she was harassed and to shame the "assaulter", she posts a video or description of the situation. The online community then mostly responds with an outrageous cry, that she souldn't be as easily triggered.
