torment nexus

A phrase referring to when a company makes something from a piece of media that points out why it’s a bad idea. It comes from a post in which a tech company invents an object called the Torment Nexus, which was found in the (fictional) book Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.

Guy 1: “Dude, have you heard that they’re making a Squid Game reality show?”
Guy 2: “Yeah, they’re totally creating the Torment Nexus with that one.”
