The Onision Effect

When a YouTuber in their 30s is exposed for (alleged) child grooming, causing their reputation to take a huge downward spiral and cement them one of the worst YouTubers ever.
Person 1: Oh my god. I honestly cannot believe what is going on right now, first it was Onision and now Colleen Ballinger/Miranda Sings of all people?!?!?!

Person 2: Wow, just wow. Oh, how the Onision Effect repeats itself (when will they ever learn)... -_-

Joe Effect

When a person has all the bad luck in the world and can’t ever catch a break. To have everything that happens in your life never go in your favor. Basically the worst luck in the world.

The Y2K Effect

A social phenomenon that occurs when experts work diligently to avert a crisis, only for the general public to deem the potential crisis a hoax should the contingency efforts be successful. Named after the aversion of the Y2K bug, which has been largely deemed a hoax over the past couple of decades because it never actually occurred thanks to programmers behind the scenes preparing the new millennium of technology for the 21st century.
"Hey remember that rumor the bridge would collapse? I can't believe they actually tried to scare us like that"
"The bridge legitimately was at risk of collapsing, but construction teams examined the issue right away and made necessary repairs to avoid the disaster"
"Woah, really?"
"Yep, The Y2K Effect struck again"

King Neptune Effect

When a character suffers a catastrophic glow-down — not just a visual downgrade, but a full-on aesthetic and narrative collapse. Once majestic, cool, or powerful, they’re redesigned into a weird, goofy, or straight-up embarrassing version of themselves.
“They Neptuned him. Dude used to look like a legend.”

“This reboot is suffering from major King Neptune Effect.”

“Her redesign has big Neptune Energy… in the bad way.”

“From silver fox to gas station cryptid — that’s the King Neptune pipeline.”

Variations:

Neptuned (verb) – “They Neptuned my boy!”

Neptune Energy (noun) – “His current look is giving Neptune Energy, and not in a good way.”

King Neptune Syndrome (rare alt form) – “It’s a classic case of King Neptune Syndrome: dev god to gym teacher.”

Arcland Effect

When something bad happens to you and you're convinced the fictional troupe Tokyo Arcland from the mobile game project sekai colorful stage should take the blame for it.
My posture has been getting worse lately! It must be the Arcland Effect.
