The Brown Effect is when a person, usually someone with more authority than yourself, tells you they have a great idea for a new thing. The idea is based on a great idea, but this idea that it borrows from is really bad. Also see Milindo.
I have a new idea for a toaster, instead of it toasting the bread, it browns the toast. I call'em "Toastles" TM by RS. This is The Brown Effect.
This example happens to use an idea that does not necessarily have to do anything brown, but this is the example.

What happens when a person first rejects altruist, collectivist, and mystical morality for a rationally self-interested one. It generally lasts a short time, but can have long term negative consequences for the self-interested individual. Until the individual sorts out his new values and long term goals, they walk around insulting altruists and people that value/love them; being worried that they have been taken advantage of by those they previously valued.
Ayn Rand effect:
Son: I've been reading Ayn Rand, and her book has lead me to question all my relationships. She says that collectivism is a sin and thus just because I belong to a race, family, nation or other group, it doesn't mean that it's in my self-interest to believe as they do. I need to have my own objective reasoning.
Father: So your rejecting your religion, family and everything I ever taught you because of a book?
Son: Well, I just don't think it's a justification for a morality anymore.
Father: I'm writing you out of my will. How's that for being rationally self-interested?

A phenomena in which someone plays a game that is both overwhelmingly flawed and exceedingly exceptional. Enjoyment of the game will increase during the play-through as the flaws are accepted and appear less often, while the positive traits increase in quality and quantity.
"I've never, EVER, felt this way about a game. I don't even know where to begin."
"Yep. That's the Xenoblade 2 effect."

The Martin Knauer effect (also known as the Tim Sabel effect) is when two voice actors in any form of media sound the same.
It's name comes from the two German voice actors Martin Sabel and Tim Knauer who's voices sound so similar you can barely tell the difference.
Yo is that guy voiced by Dwayne Johnson??
Nah fam, that's just the Martin Knauer effect.
