the Johnson Paradox

The Johnson Paradox is a phenomenon where a group of people love and support an individual, despite that individual lying repeatedly and showing the utmost corruption and hypocrisy in their daily life.

The individual might also be completely in contempt of their supporters and morally destitute, but the supporters cannot see the individual for what they are and support them regardless.

Reasonable Person 1: "So he lied to everyone and was forced out of office by his own party, yet when he returned yesterday, he was met with thunderous applause?"
Reasonable Person 2: "It's the Johnson Paradox in effect."

The Simon Wilson Paradox

After hearing a detailed and troubling story about another man's struggles with maintaining an erection, he couldn't shake the anxiety it induced. This newfound stress crept into his own intimate moments, creating a vicious cycle of worry and performance issues that left him unable to maintain an erection himself.
Thus creating the Simon Wilson paradox

Last night I was with this girl then I stuffed from the Simon Wilson Paradox.

Looters Paradox

The "Looters Paradox" is a phenomenon that occurs in survival games and looter shooters, where the Player or "Looter" cannot find the item they are desperately looking for when they are putting their effort into looking for it, but will find it when they've forgotten about it or are looking for a completely different item.

It's a frustrating battle with a games RNG that always seems to target you at odd moments. For example, if the player is looking for an "Apple", they will not find the apple, but will only find Bananas and Oranges. But the moment they top looking for the Apple and start looking for the Bananas and Oranges, they will only find the apple.

"Ugh, I've been looking for this item for hours, but I just cannot find it! I hate the looters paradox!"
"Wh-... what the f---? Why is it always that, when I stop looking for this item, it is all I will ever find?!"

Ephemeral Idealization Paradox

A literary device where a character's pursuit of an ideal or unattainable desire is intensified by its fleeting, transient nature. This paradoxical longing becomes more powerful and all-consuming precisely because the object of desire is perpetually elusive or only exists as a constructed ideal rather than a tangible reality.

Daniel's relentless pursuit of Michael is an embodiment of the Ephemeral Idealization Paradox, where his desire for her grows more obsessive precisely because the perfect version of her he envisions exists only in the shimmering, unreachable past.

K-Paradox

When someone, usually a rude entitled individual, acts and talks like they've never been hit in the face, but because of their rudeness there is NO WAY they have NOT been punched in the face.

K-Paradox

When someone, usually a rude entitled individual, acts (rudely or entitled) like they have never been appropriately punched in the face, but because of them acting rude and entitled, there is NO WAY they have NOT been punched in the face.
