Dream SMP effect

People who pretend /convince themselves their more sensitive than they actually are, or when people pretend to have DID. It's called the dream smp effect because it came from dream smp fans doing the above starting in 2020.
Person 1: did you see this funny image of someone talking about leaving their kids in the car with a SpongeBob image on discord?

Person 2: the one where the people in the server were being way too sensitive about the joke? That's called the dream smp effect, it also applies to this TikTok where this person is obviously faking DID but the people in the comments are too, so nobody is hating

The psychological phenomenon where people behave more openly, aggressively, or cruelly online than they would in person, due to factors like anonymity, invisibility, lack of immediate feedback, and the perception that online actions have no real‑world consequences. The effect explains why gangharassment, cliqueposting, and banlighting thrive: people feel freed from accountability, and the emotional weight of harming another person is muted by the screen. Understanding this effect is crucial to recognizing that online cruelty is not just “how people are” but a product of the environment.
Example: “He would never have screamed at someone in a coffee shop, but online he’d spent years coordinating harassment. The online disinhibition effect: the screen as permission slip.”

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.”

"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.."
