Alt forms: curtaincall effect
The trend seen in character designs where non-human but still humanoid characters, especially aliens and anthropomorphic animals, do not wear clothing or do not wear clothing that would be seen as sufficient by humans. Examples are Ficus Licker from Undertale, Daniel Tiger from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, and Timmy and Tommy from Animal Crossing. Pretty much always correlates with the Heats Flamesman exception (non-humans not having private parts).

*not to be confused of Dunning–Kruger effect*
The Moron-Kruger Effect is a psychological phenomenon/cognitive blackhole, in which, the moron in question lacks sufficient information about a given topic and still chooses to argue as if they know it all.
Main difference between it and the Dunning–Kruger effect is that the moron actively chooses not to educate themselves and uses their previously stated arguments as I they were universally accepted.
4 notable stages of the Moron-Kruger Effect are:
• Indulging in a conversation about a topic that the moron knows/heard little or insufficient information about and shares their thoughts on it.
• When met with scrutiny, the moron will justify their takes as if they were misunderstood.
• The moron is easily enraged at the responses that they had received. Furthering his spiral into confusing misinformation with facts.
• Finally, the moron will now start to double down, knowing that they are in the wrong, yet they choose to not rectify previously made mistakes and will keep spreading misinformation.

"That guy thinks that all game developers are lazy because of the success of so-and-so and now they keep arguing about what they don't know about when proven wrong? That's the Moron-Kruger Effect!"
"My neighbor thinks 5G is cancerous because they heard it uses more power and now they think COVID-19 was a conspiracy!? Moron-Kruger Effect."

One's mere presence brings about order and peace. Commanded by their sheer aura of righteousness and judgement. The glare itself speaks more than a thousand words and eminates pure dominance. Named after one of the most legendary human beings to ever grace this Earth.

A conceptual process in which an individual, institution, or system rapidly descends from a state of peak performance or prestige into a significantly diminished or unstable state. It implies a collapse not caused by gradual decline, but by a sharp tipping point—often due to overreach, hubris, or external shock.
