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

A phenomenon experienced during social interactions where one's presence or influence inadvertently leads to a decline in another's performance, coordination, or luck. Characterized by unexpected and often humorous mishaps, such as losing one's game or accidentally spilling a drink.

It is often discussed in a light-hearted manner, acknowledging the quirky and inexplicable influence some individuals can have on others' actions or fortunes."
