logan paul effect

1. When a celebrity does things that are rude, borderline illegal, or in poor taste and their fans defend the poor choices even when the celebrity has apologized. Many of the fans threaten people who speak out against the bad actions of their hero or repeat the actions, taking them even more to the extreme.

2. When clickbait goes wrong and has negative social consequences.

Person 1: Wtf! That 14 year old just yelled "Boonk" and stole my car and crashed it!
Person 2: Ugh. Boonk Gang fan.

Person 1: But that Boonk guy never crashed anything! What am I gonna do?
Person 2: Fan escalation...That's The Logan Paul Effect, my friend.
