Nah keep it Streisand effect, as that's where the term originated, if we changed phrases every single time a company did this, we'd be changing it every hour.

True, but nobody born after 9/11 knows who the fuck Barbra Streisand even is, so they definitely don't know the story.

Damn. Nevermind, you just appealed to my petty side. I can clearly see now that I was wrong haha.

Historians will look back one day and be like "this woman was so renowned for her terribleness, we can trace the entymology of this modern word back to her name".

Maybe they know this banger and think she's a song? 🤷

Lol people born after 9/11 were <9 when this song came out.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Fair, but they still could have heard it on the radio while their parents were driving them to hockey practice or welding seminars or whatever 9yos did back then 🤷
