The polar opposite of (and often directly caused by) draco in leather pants, whereby fandom demonizes a previously likeable, good character, often for the sake of shipping.
The origin of the name comes from Harry Potter fandom, in which fanfic writers shipping Hermione with characters other than her canon love interest, Ronald Weasley (or Ron), would often include some terribly contrived arc in which Ron goes insane from Hermione dumping him, and promptly joins the villains of the series, the Death Eaters, thus making it easier for readers to sympathise with Hermione's choice and hence the ship of choice.

Perfect, non-HP example of Ron the death eater in action:
In 2002, the second series of the Pokemon anime saw a cast change, in which one of the three main characters, Misty (who was heavily shipped with one of the other main characters, specifically Ash), was swapped for a younger model, May. Cue dozens of gratuitous rapefics written in May's dishonour. Voila: May the death eater.

Bill: Dude, I just had a Ron Mexico experience last night.
Ted: What happened?
Bill: I tried pranking Virginia with an alaskan snow dragon but she just swallowed and said "I've got it too."

Lafayette Ronald Hubbard is the founder of Scientology, and perhaps the greatest genius to have ever lived. Not only has he tricked millions of people into believing his bogus science, but he actually has them /paying/ to raise their rank within the church, and learn more of its secrets.
Hubbard is, perhaps, the greatest con-artist in the history of mankind

Tom Cruise is a fucking dumbass.
Scientology is the greatest scam ever.
L. Ron Hubbard, you are a genius

Named for the famous porn star, the Ron Jeremy event is an accidental occurrence that happens once in a while to people who frequently download television shows and movies from file-sharing platforms.
In order for a Ron Jeremy Event to occur, a show or movie is innocently labeled (i.e. South Park s15e12 - Timmy's Birthday.avi) by whomever is closely guarding his porn from the snoopy wife or girlfriend who hates South Park. An unrelated party then downloads the file expecting innocent content. The file may be opened right away or may sit and share for months before being watched. When it is first opened and the discovery is made, the Ron Jeremy Event has occurred.
As those who relabel their porn keep a small porno-stash, they value quality over quantity. Thus the best porn on the internet is always found in the form of a Ron Jeremy Event.
