When a character In a show, musical, play, book, movie, etc. is mentioned or seen for a very short period of time, having nearly no impact on the story, but is generally either loved or hated by the entire fandom. Named after Peggy Schuyler, a character from the musical Hamilton.
Because Peggy Schuyler only shows up in one song, yet is seen as an “UwU sawft cinnamon roll” and the majority of the fandom loves her, she is a prime example of The Peggy Effect.

Everyone is all smiles, the new coach tries new things, is fun and upbeat, and seemingly *changes the culture* so the team performs really well.....until they don't.
The few good games are due to excitement, and once the substitute teacher has to be a real teacher, fails spectacularly because he actually has to teach.

Similar to radiation exposure, this effect is particularly potent in hot, arid, sandy regions. Suspected to also negatively influence intangible aspects such as Peace, Love, and Happiness, the Wilshaw Effect necessitates individuals to distance themselves indefinitely from the source of the Wilshaw in order to mitigate its deleterious consequences. The only recognized remedy for the Wilshaw Effect is the removal of oneself from the prevailing influence, acknowledging its potential long-term consequences on various aspects of well-being.
