the Reese Witherspoon effect

when a famous person possesses so much pure, wholesome, almost maternal/paternal energy that it becomes impossible to sexualize them or truly find them hot no matter how good-looking they are

"i wish i could think this person is hot, but they've got the reese witherspoon effect"

John Reese

A certified badass. He is a kind, compassionate person when you know him, but he's done some terrible things that he wants to forget. He's protective of the innocent, and never tolerates wife abusers.

Spoiler - He also dies in the most badass way possible: filled with dozens of bullets and then getting blown up by a ballistic missile while saving the world

"That guy in the suit is kinda scary and whispers a lot, his name must be John Reese"
