Failo effect

Categories: theories, Ugliness

The '''failo effect''' is opposite of the [[halo effect]], a term used in the incelosphere, likely coined by the YouTuber [[FaceandLMS]]<ref>https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Failo%20Effect</ref>. The failo effect is also known as the '''horn''' or '''devil effect''' in the scientific literature. The failo effect states that an [[ugly]] person will be assumed to have an unappealing [[Personality|temperament]], be less outgoing/extroverted, be less intelligent, and have looser morals, plainly judged by his [[Aesthetics|physical appearance]]. 

The halo effect states that the perception of positive features (such as physical attractiveness) automatically leads to the perception of positive features (such as a good personality) even though they might not be there.
