A character who appears for a short amount of time, yet leaves a great impact onto the story/characters.
When you’ve dealt with so many fuck boys named Ian, that you will swear to never date anyone named Ian again.

When a heterosexual, cisgender male is incorporated into a gender-queer, queer, female friend group burdened with the patriarchal wrongdoings experience by the other members of the friend group despite not being associated with the male majority. For a man to fall under the displacement effect, he can only be incorporated into a singular group.
Andie (she/they): I hate men
Max (they/them): speak your truth Andie!
Matt (he/him): guys I'm right here
Andie (she/they): it's ok Matt, you're part of the displacement effect.
The Coldplay effect is named for the band Coldplay, and is used to describe something that is iconic and respected, but generic and only the favourite thing of a small number of people.
"Spaghetti bolognese is a pretty average meal when you think about it, but so many people enjoy it."
"You could say it's affected by the Coldplay effect."
An effect that happens to men in regards to only seeing ugly women for an extended period of time, in which they begin to see ugly women as attractive.
This consistently happens to men who work too much, and dont go out often. Especially in low paying, night shift jobs.
Its called the island effect because one is isolated from the attractive, outside world.

Duderbroseph: i dunno, like a month?
Sane: Island effect.
Duderbroseph: Shit...
