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?
Another Korean guy who has been on twitter for a long time: It's the East Asia Effect

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.

The TB Effect

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. The TB Effect encapsulates those moments where the mere interaction with, or proximity to, a particular individual seems to disrupt the usual flow of events, leading to minor yet noticeable errors or accidents. It is often discussed in a light-hearted manner, acknowledging the quirky and inexplicable influence some individuals can have on others' actions or fortunes."

"Every time I play pool with them, I end up missing the easiest shots; it's like the TB Effect is in action, making me lose my usual skill."
