You don't see something until you actively keep thinking about it, and it was always there all the time but you didn't notice.

The Jason-Streisand Effect

A Hyperbolic, yet sadly real, escalation of the original Streisand Effect, where relentless and disproportionate attempts to suppress, deny, or draw attention to a trivial or non-issue that not only fails but catastrophically backfires. Repeatedly.

Key components include:
1) Compounding Backfire
2) Self-Destructive Persistence
3) Total Reputation Collapse
4) Terminal Irony

1) Compounding Backfire-

Unlike the classic Streisand Effect where suppression attempts once amplify attention, the Jason-Streisand Effect involves multiple rounds of doubling (or sextupling) down, each time worsening the backlash exponentially.

2) Self-Destructive Persistence-
The Streisand-er refuses to course-correct, despite pleas and obvious chances to do so, instead escalating their efforts (Legal threats, Public denials, or aggressive PR moves) despite clear signs of mounting damage.

3) Total Reputation Collapse-

What started as a minor issue or even a misunderstanding or mistake snowballs into universal condemnation, turning even neutral observers into detractors.

4) Terminal Irony-
The harder the Streisand-er fights, the more absurd and meme-worthy their efforts become, fueling further ridicule and scrutiny.
Person 1: "What's going on with the Pirate Software Drama?"

Person 2: "After getting caught lying about his raid skills, Pirate Software pulled The Jason-Streisand Effect —deleting VODs, blaming his party, gaslighting his fanbase, and ranting on stream until even his fans called him a fraud."

MJ Effect

A girl with the name starting with M, and a boy with a name starting with J have so much crazy sex it makes everyone around them green with jealous rage. So much so that everyone hates they are together.
Can you believe those two? They have such an MJ Effect on people it's astonishing!

The 'Adele' effect

A mandala effect. Our subconscious minds made up many, many people named 'Adele'. Though, none of these people exist. Not even the singer.
