Vecnaed

"Vecnaed" refers to when a character in fiction is killed by someone with psychic powers. This type of death involves the killer using their powers to make their victim levitate in mid air and then telepathically break multiple bones in their body, typically their spine, causing them to instantly die. The killer than drops their victim's lifeless body to the ground.
This is called being Vecnaed because it is famously used by Stranger Things antagonist, Vecna.

"Yeah dude, he Vecnaed them!"

the vecna issue

"Vecna" is a character from DND popularized by Stranger Things Season 4. The Vecna Issue is when a mysterious form of media is given context, and isn't as mysterious anymore. Other examples would be giving "levels" to the Backrooms and adding random monsters into it as well.

1: Some people don't understand that fear of the unknown is the scariest type of fear.

2: Yeah, I didn't need to know Vecna created the Mind Flayer, now it's just kind of boring.

3: Yeah, I'd call that the Vecna Issue. When you add context to something that has none, making it way less scary.

1&2: I agree.
