The Gandhi Effect

If you're idolized enough, people will ignore all the horrible things you've done in your life. Being deceased is optional, although it has been proven to make the effect more...effective.
The Gandhi Effect is named for Mahatma Gandhi, who is often worshipped as a hero around the world, despite the fact that he was a serial rapist.

Tunison Effect

A more extreme version of the Streisand Effect, the Tunison Effect occurs when someone is so self unaware as to not realize their constant whining about a very ignorable problem only calls further attention to the problem.
Mike’s incessant whining about something that happened a decade ago and everyone else has forgotten about only creates a bigger Tunison Effect.

The East Asia effect

The effect of a larger entity appealing more towards external entities with more resources rather than their own entities.
It is named after the continuous double standards set in East Asian countries like China, Japan, and South Korea on Western tourists, giving them a false rrality that many citizens dream to have. A big example are then amount of people wanting to work in Japan despite its hellish working conditions because of the false vision being given to them. This can also be seen on corporations appealing to a small handful of investors, resulting in them alienating their wider target audience
Korean guy looking at twitter: Why are so many westerners trying to subject themselves to our hellish life?

woody woodpecker effect

When any media is very known, loved and hugged by another nation, but anywhere else, even from the place it has been made, that media would be considered obsolete, mediocre or bad altogether. Just like Woody Woodpecker is to Brazil.
Joe: Have you seen the news? There's a new album from that brazillian musician I told you about.
João: Oh, we know that guy, we don't really give it to his music.
Joe: It must be Woody Woodpecker Effect, 'cuz his songs SLAP! I've shown it to all my friends here in England and they loved it!
