Santeria Effect

The practice by TV/Radio media of censoring materials that are not obscene or vulgar, but failing to censor the obscene/vulgar.

Back in the 90's, when the band "Sublime" was in its prime, I remember watching a music video for "Santeria" on TV. When the song got to the following lyrics:

"Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide. Daddy's got a new 45.
and I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat.
Believe me when I say that I got somethin for his punk ass. "

The TV station edited out the word "forty-five", but NOT the phrase "punk ass". This is what I call the "Santeria Effect"

Nigri Effect

The act in which people sellout in order to boost their finances by locking their media and adding erotic images/video behind paywalls.

I can't believe Yaya Han fell victim to the Nigri Effect.

It seems there's a Nigri Effect within the cosplay scene.

The Renaldi Effect

The Renaldi Effect, or "Going full Renaldi" , is a social psychological phenomenon that refers to cases in which an individual has a well-established bias in which someone's subjective confidence in their judgments is reliably greater than their objective accuracy. This is the phenomenon in which people tend to believe they are noticed more than they really are. Being that one is constantly in the center of one's own world, an accurate evaluation of how much one is noticed by others has shown to be uncommon. The reasoning behind the spotlight effect comes from our human tendency to forget that although one is the center of one's own world, one is not the center of everyone else's. This tendency is especially prominent when one purchases a yellow Ferrari 430.

He called a GTR a ricer, dude is suffering from the Renaldi Effect.
