Get the Murray Walkermug. A talk-walker is a person who has no personal moral conviction that dictates their actions, rather, they draw upon the moral fiber of others that they see around them who they admire as "edgy," "independent," "hipster," or "original." The result is an avowed affinity to things like vegetarianism, vegan cookies, five grain pancakes, and vanilla yogurt. Another common symptom is wearing outdoor performance clothing in settings where this is completely unnecessary, and claiming that winter camping can be an 'enjoyable' experience.
Waitress: "What can I get for you?"
Bryan (Common talk-walker name due to the edgy 'y' spelling: "I'll have the five-grain pancakes, please."
Waitress: "Actually, nobody actually orders them because everybody knows they are terrible, we just put them on the menu to attract talk-walkers into the restaurant."

Get the Paul Walker Shitsmug. Nick Walker- A spasmodic petri dish of sexually harvested disease and awkward social phobias. Commonly found preying on pre adolescent canadian forest owls. This rare species of human enjoys collecting discarded underpants, preferably from the St Johns deposit box. When provoked he has been known to spontaneously combust into a psychedelic arrangement of uncontrollably frantic blinking and hand shaking.

Get the shadow-walkermug. First coined by Twitter user @buggy_con, the John Walker Effect is when in any form of media the writers unintentionally make the antagonist characters
-Far more entertaining
-Far more believable as characters
-More sympathetic
-More heroic than the stale and downright evil protagonists/heroes
Typically you will see the writers project all the things they view as evil onto these characters in order to make a straw man to pit against their oh so perfect protagonists. However, this unintentionally causes these characters to be loved by the audience, for they are the only ones who
-Call out the protagonists' bullshit for what it is
-Have actual ideas and motivations that aren't selfish
These characters often have to be amped up to cartoonish levels of evil in order to try and make the audience root against them.

Rorschach from Watchmen, Tyler Durden from Fight Club, and Colonel Quaritch from Avatar are all examples of villains that suffer from the John Walker Effect.
