The Kristian metaphor relates to someone whose reputation (usually lies spread by ex fuck boys) is that of a harlot, and one with an IQ lower than that of Forrest Gump, but is in fact not a harlot and quite intelligent; far more than the average fuck boy believes. Often simple projection but on a larger scale.
"Everyone thinks I'm a dumb slut, but usually the guys I date and it's always THEM who cheat and quite frankly, are as slow as a Windows 98 with 2k songs downloaded by Napster. Why does the Kristian Effect have to curse ME?!?!"

A theoretical psychological phenomenon proposing that individuals, regardless of intelligence, moral awareness, or ethical education, are inherently predisposed to commit morally questionable or harmful acts under certain circumstances. The Priguna Effect suggests that intellectual capability does not inherently prevent ethical lapses, implying that the potential for wrongdoing is a universal human trait, not mitigated by rational thought alone.
