Bundy Effect

The Bundy effect is a psychological and social phenomenon in which an individual’s physical attractiveness, charm, or charisma distracts others from recognizing or acknowledging their dangerous, manipulative, or criminal behavior. Named after serial killer Ted Bundy, who notoriously used his good looks and persuasive demeanor to gain the trust of his victims and manipulate public perception, the Bundy effect highlights how people may underestimate or excuse harmful actions due to superficial traits.

“Despite multiple red flags in his behavior, the Bundy Effect was in full force—everyone was too charmed by his confidence and smile to see the manipulation underneath.”

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.”

Kafi Effect

A conceptual process in which an individual, institution, or system rapidly descends from a state of peak performance or prestige into a significantly diminished or unstable state. It implies a collapse not caused by gradual decline, but by a sharp tipping point—often due to overreach, hubris, or external shock.

Arz was ranked 3rd—until he started duoing with Kafi. Within days, he tumbled to 19th, a brutal showcase of the Kafi Effect in action.

There seems to be a common pattern with his tweets and how the developers decide to balance the game in the weeks that follow. Some call this "The Cdew Effect".

"Cdew just tweeted again man, looks like my class is getting nerfed."

"Blizzard just posted the patch notes for this week, its over... The Cdew Effect strikes again.."
