It's when someone complains about how hard they have it, not to get OR take the help offered, but just simply because they want to get attention and create drama to show how hard they think they think they have it.
Especially useful on social media

Example: I’m stuck on the freeway car broken down, no one for miles, kids screaming in the back seat, my eldest has a disability and doesn’t understand and I have no mobile service but it dropped in enough to post this 😰
Response: Help offered by multiple people all turned down with the ‘ill solider on’, it’ll be ok’ or ‘this is my life I’m used to it’. And yet they can keep responding to said posts/texts. Oh, your suffering from the kardashian effect!

When you really want to hate Abby but you can't. You try really hard to hate everything she stands for but you eventually have to give up and accept that it's an impossible challenge.
Karen: I'm trying so hard to hate Abby, but I can't. I disagree with everything she does but I still...
Mel: respect her?
Karen: Yeah, that's it. It's like it's impossible to hate her.
Mel: Looks like a case of the Abby Effect.
Karen: The what?
Mel: When you really want to hate Abby but can't.
(Even Karens suffer from the Abby Effect)

Name after famed boxer Mike Tyson. When someone in their youth was careless, reckless, or lost in their ways, only to, later in life reflect and articulate, how misguided their intentions were and use the experience to affect positive change.
Nate Diaz seems to be experiencing, the Tyson Effect, as he looks back over his career with some regrets.

Similar to the cheerleader effect, the captain effect occurs when everyone in the group, male or female, is agreeably unattractive, EXCEPT for one individual. That individual is deemed the captain because he or she commands the outer attention of the group, AND is undoubtedly the best looking of the bunch. However, without his or her crew the captain is nothing.
Ex. If you have 4 girls in a group and all of them are the same, except 1 girl is noticeably taller and slimmer, who do you sleep with?
a. 1 of the 3. You have better chances.
b. The 1 exception. She's the captain.
c. All of the above. "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." –Aristotle
d. None of the above. You've got a computer at home.
"A captain without his crew plays with his ship, alone, by himself, in the middle of the sea, where plenty of fish do NOT exist."
–Creeper at the bar

Bro 1: You see that girl?
Bro 2: Which one? They're all ugly.
Bro 1: The good-looking one.
Bro 2: She only looks good because everyone else is way uglier than her. It's the captain effect.
Bro 1: Well, I'd still do her.
Bro 2: Well, that's because you have beer goggles.

Aight, so let's kick it off with this wicked tale, fam. Once upon a time, there was this soul-sucking demon named Laney Young. Now, she wasn't your regular demon, nah. She was mad into boys, but every now and then, she'd switch it up and go after women too.
Laney was notorious, man. She didn't just snatch souls, she'd take their ego, well-being, and even their dignity. Ain't nothing left when she was done.
Now, let's talk about this one dude, Travis. He was just another notch on her belt, but after one night with Laney, homie was never the same. He turned all evil, started acting possessed and stuff.
Folks started calling it the 'Laney Young effect'. It was like she left a mark on him, changed him in ways no one could understand. Travis wasn't Travis no more, he was just another victim of Laney Young.
But you know what's really twisted? Even though everyone knew what she was capable of, they still got drawn to her. Like moths to a flame, man. That's the power Laney Young had. It's a cautionary tale, for sure. Always keep your guard up, 'cause you never know when a Laney Young might cross your path.

When members of the public excuse a celebrity's crimes or immoral behaviour because they are huge fans of that celebrity, yet criticise someone else for doing exactly the same thing.
It is named after the British disc jockey, John Peel, who admitted to having sex with underage children, and who, after his death, turned out to have got a fifteen year old pregnant, and who started dating two of his wives when they were just fifteen years old. If John Peel had lived longer, he would have gone to prison, but because people like how he was a disc jockey who played interesting music, they overlook that, and there is even a stage at Glastonbury named after him. Conversely, the same people will criticise less appealing celebrities who did less bad things.

People hate Woody Allen, but love Prince who did exactly the same thing and even had a child with his adopted daughter. That's just the John Peel effect.
Sean Connery admitted that he often slapped women around the face to put them in their place, but people cried when he died - that's the John Peel effect.
There's a real John Peel effect going on with David Bowie - he's worse than Rolf Harris, but everyone still loves him.
