** The series has the infamous "[[Recap/KitchenNightmaresS6E15AmysBakingCompany Amy's Baking Company]]" episode, in which viewers watched in shock as they saw the restaurant's owners, Amy and Samy, berate customers, employees, and even Creator/GordonRamsay himself, their [[SmallNameBigEgo egos]] [[CantTakeCriticism clouding even the most basic of criticism]] and interpreted it as attacks -- in the end, for the first time in the series, Ramsay [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere left the restaurant]] thanks to the two's behavior. When the episode was over, many of the viewers approached their Platform/{{Facebook}} page to expressed their displeasure, only to have the two blow up at ''them''. Many people came to it on the basis of watching their meltdown. This also ironically benefited Amy's Baking Company, thanks to the BileFascination. People who went there were either a), people who didn't believe anyone could really be that bad at owning a restaurant and still be in business, thinking it was all set up as fake "reality" TV for ratings, or b), people who went there specifically to provoke a response from Amy or Samy as some weird badge of honor. When the show went back to the restaurant as part of a special episode, nobody was surprised to see that ''nothing had changed at all''. In 2015, the company finally shut down.

* When Welsh footballer Ryan Giggs was caught having an affair with former ''Series/BigBrother'' contestant Imogen Thomas, his lawyers filed a super-injunction to keep Thomas from selling her story and the news media from revealing his name. Many news channels and magazines took offence to that, starting a debate on the nature of super-injunctions and using many {{Suspiciously Specific Denial}}s to [[CouldSayItBut hint at his identity]]. When his name was revealed on Website/{{Twitter}}, he had his lawyers try to sue Twitter for ignoring the injunction. Twitter, of course, is not bound by UK law and this action only caused many celebrities and ordinary users hitting back by revealing his name in their feeds. [[SarcasmMode Congratulations, Giggs]]: You [[EnemyMine made an enemy of both]] [[OldMediaAreEvil the Old Media]] and [[NewMediaAreEvil the New Media]] and turned a one-shot story that would have grabbed the attention of a small portion of the public for a few days into a national debate that went on for weeks, while becoming the laughing stock of the foreign media, who are not bound by UK laws. The entire mess eventually reached Parliament, where questions were raised about how relevant the law was considering the rise of social media. You know you messed up when your attempt to conceal your affair ends up with the Prime Minister discussing it ''in the democratic forum of the nation''.

* Bryon "Psyguy" Beaubien from Website/Fireball20XL was subject to this effect in 2014 after many callout posts appeared on Website/{{Tumblr}}. The stories accuse Beaubien of incredibly abusive behaviors toward many of his past associates and fans, including death threats, infidelity, sexual harassment, racism, and sexually predatory conduct towards minors. The accusations alone were bad for his reputation, but he made the matter far worse by responding with [[IResembleThatRemark trying to threaten many of the people who shared their stories]] about him, use copyright claims to take down videos about the stories and delete as many of his posts that could confirm the stories told about him. The stories about Beaubien ended up spreading like wildfire throughout the internet as a result of his attempts to get them removed, which eventually led to Fireball [=20XL=] and Beaubien himself both vanishing from the internet.

* On the April 10, 2024 edition of Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling's flagship show ''Dynamite'', the company aired the backstage footage of Wrestling/CMPunk's scuffle with "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry at ''All In'' 2023 live on TV as part of a segment involving Wrestling/TheYoungBucks and Wrestling/{{FTR}}. For those uninitiated, Punk and the Young Bucks had their fair share of issues during the former's time in the company that led to backstage fights at the ''All Out'' 2022 and ''All In'' 2023 [=PPVs=], the latter of which prompted AEW owner Tony Khan to fire Punk for cause. Punk, who returned back to WWE starting from the 2023 ''Survivor Series'' PLE, had kept quiet about his time in AEW until he spoke about both it and the backstage incident involving Perry on Ariel Helwani's podcast ''MMA Hour'' a few days before ''[=WrestleMania=] XL''. AEW then announced the decision to air the footage hours after ''[=WrestleMania=] XL'''s Night 1 had ended, leading to speculation that AEW was doing it specifically in an attempt to tarnish Punk's reputation further. Unfortunately for AEW, a lot of people were both underwhelmed that the backstage fight was relatively innocuous and found it ridiculous that Khan, who was stationed nearby behind the monitors, was so scared that he not only fired Punk afterwards, he said that it put his life on danger. Mere hours after it was aired live on TV, AEW [[https://twitter.com/WrestleOps/status/1778247674874982605 backtracked on their decision by copyright striking anyone who posted the video of the backstage fight]] and removing said footage from their official Website/YouTube video of the segment. This not only brought awareness of the incident again after several months, it generated more support for Punk.

What he failed to account for, however, was that many promptly realized this and drowned out the discussion of the logo change with discussion of how Musk was using it to avoid publicity on the lawsuit, drawing attention back to the lawsuit anyway.

** After Selen Tatsuki had a song cover she'd been working on for months meant for release on Christmas Day 2023 taken down by Nijisanji management (allegedly for not getting the proper permissions for posting it), she went missing for over a month with no contact, to the point both online and IRL acquaintances became alarmed enough to get the hashtag "Where's Selen" trending on Twitter. Her contract was later terminated, not long after it came out she'd been hospitalised. In response to fan outcry, ANYCOLOR (the company behind Nijisanji) posted a press release that assured investors that the effects of Selen's termination would be "negligible". A cascading series of PR blunders led to the story not just spreading to people outside the [=VTuber=] community (for example, a number of legal and PR experts chimed in on just how incompetent Nijisanji's response to the whole affair was) but also Nijisanji's Japanese fanbase (which was normally completely isolated from the English-speaking fanbase). [[note]] So severe was the backlash that the term [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Selen Shock]] came about, and fans from other countries (especially Indonesia, where fans were still bitter towards Nijisanji for shuttering the well-loved Nijisanji Indonesia branch and caused many of the livers to graduate in disillusionment) renewed their anger towards the agency. As a result, Nijisanji developed a reputation as a UsefulNotes/BlackCompany and even commenters on places like Yahoo Finance Japan observed that this black eye would cripple any further attempt at overseas expansion.

** On a related note, in February 2023 ANYCOLOR filed over 10 DMCA copyright takedown notices on a number of Youtube channels that specialised in [=VTuber=]-related content (generally things like official announcements but also lesser known details like financial filings or behind-the-scenes issues). Most damningly, the takedown notices were only filed on videos that included stories that depicted Nijisanji in a negative light, making it an obvious attempt by a corporation to silence critics. As a result, those same channels (and those supporting them) focused even more on Nijisanji and ANYCOLOR, and so when the Pomu and Selen controversies erupted they were more than ready to spread the word.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Nijisanji}}'' fell afoul of this ''twice'' in early 2024.
** Nijisanji English liver Pomu Rainpuff graduated from the company in January 2024. This wouldn't on its own be particularly notable despite Pomu's popularity, except that in the run-up to her departure she unprivated several members-only streams, including one where she broke down in tears recalling a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity she'd been offered that had been denied by Nijisanji management with no possibility of negotiation, responding to chat's attempt at comforting her by saying "more opportunities will come" with a sad, "Not here." Shortly after, Nijisanji management proceeded to once again private the aforementioned members-only stream (and '''only''' that particular stream). This resulted in the story spreading wider than it otherwise would have, as the clumsy attempt at suppressing the story simply made people suspect the story was '''true''' and did more damage to Nijisanji's reputation than would have been done had the stream been left up, or if ''all'' the members-only streams had been privated rather than just that one particular stream.

Legally speaking, it can be a tricky subject. On one hand, many attorneys will warn someone of the possibility of litigation kicking a hornet's nest and creating a PR nightmare, and you can't exactly prevent people from commenting on what appears to be clear bad faith litigation. On the other hand, if you're on the receiving end of litigation, most smart attorneys will advise you to keep your mouth shut for a variety of reasons: the media and the court of public opinion are unpredictable and you cannot predict how they will treat your position, anything you say has the potential to be seen as an admission of wrongdoing, you open yourself up to potential defamation claims (or worse kinds of liability, if someone takes something you say as a "will no one rid me of this turbulent priest" and does something to harass or harm the other party), and most importantly, judges take a ''very'' dim view of undue attempts to influence the court of public opinion and it's never a good idea to piss off a judge or provide the appearance that you're trying to work around the judicial system.

Something horribly embarrassing or personal about you has been released -- anything from a [[HomePornMovie sex tape]], to an unflattering photograph, to the nickname you had when you were younger -- and you want to keep it out of the public eye. So you [[BuryYourArt do whatever it takes to make it go away]]: lawsuits, cease-and-desist orders, UsefulNotes/{{DMCA}} takedowns, whatever you have at hand. But it backfires: the efforts to censor the information become public, and people who would otherwise be uninterested are now dying to know what all the commotion is about. Whatever you were trying to remove from the Internet gets mirrored and copied to hundreds of other sites; the sex tape goes viral; the childhood nickname becomes national talk show fodder; the unflattering picture ends up in the newspaper.

Something horribly embarrassing or personal about you has been released -- anything from a [[HomePornMovie sex tape]], to an unflattering photograph, to the nickname you had when you were younger -- and you want to keep it out of the public eye. So you [[BuryYourArt do whatever it takes to make it go away]]: lawsuits, cease-and-desist orders, UsefulNotes/{{DMCA}} MediaNotes/{{DMCA}} takedowns, whatever you have at hand. But it backfires: the efforts to censor the information become public, and people who would otherwise be uninterested are now dying to know what all the commotion is about. Whatever you were trying to remove from the Internet gets mirrored and copied to hundreds of other sites; the sex tape goes viral; the childhood nickname becomes national talk show fodder; the unflattering picture ends up in the newspaper. In other words, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy your fear that everyone would see the dirt on you is the very thing that caused everyone to look at it]], and the harder you try to fight it, the more popular it becomes -- and you learned the hard way that you probably should've [[JustIgnoreIt ignored it and acted like it was no big deal]].



* When Creator/KirkCameron released ''Film/SavingChristmas'', negative critic reviews and several middling audience reviews on Website/RottenTomatoes enraged him and caused him to go on an Internet mission telling the entire world to "storm the gates of Rotten Tomatoes". While die-hard fans were the only ones watching at the time, this tirade got the general public's attention and caused the opposite to happen; it led to ''Saving Christmas'' getting a zero from critics on the site and also got the [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzie Awards']] attention. It ended with an even lower audience score and Cameron "winning" several Razzies, including "Worst Screen Combo [[SmallNameBigEgo with his ego]]" and "Worst Picture", as a result of him tripping into this. For what it's worth, the very low-budget film did make a profit, but Cameron has [[CreatorKiller barely been heard from since.]]

* Eurogamer writer Robert Florence posted an article about how video game journalists seem to be indistinguishable from public relations, which included some tweets from Lauren Wainwright regarding her suspicious enthusiasm towards ''VideoGame/TombRaider2013'' and her defending a journalist's right to win a free UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 by advertising on Twitter. Instead of writing a rebuttal or simply ignoring the article, Wainwright threatened legal action for libel against Eurogamer, causing Eurogamer to remove the tweets from Florence's article, and Florence to resign soon afterwards. The story spread like wildfire, and it also dug out more suspicious information, such as Wainwright's freelance employment with Creator/SquareEnix, the publisher of ''Tomb Raider''. Wainwright tried to do damage control by insisting that no legal threats were made and even removed Square Enix from her resume, but screencaps of her unaltered resume and Florence's original article are mirrored everywhere.
* At E3 2013, Geoff Keighley interviewed Don Mattrick (the then-President of Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft) about the UsefulNotes/XboxOne. When asked about the console's then-mandatory Internet connection, Mattrick said that if fans didn't like it, they should buy an UsefulNotes/Xbox360 instead. Microsoft immediately attempted to take down every video related to the interview, but news of it had already spread.

* As aforementioned, when ''VideoGame/Persona5'' was released in North America, Atlus disabled the screen capture and sharing feature on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4.

Rather tellingly, the ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersXV'' character reveal trailer for Krohnen, K9999's alter ego, had the comment section full of viewers welcoming the character back with open arms.

* The Turkish Government's refusal to acknowledge UsefulNotes/TheArmenianGenocide has helped bring attention to an atrocity that might have otherwise been forgotten (at least outside the regions it occurred). Indeed, many people in the new world wouldn't even have heard of Armenia if it wasn't because it was related to an atrocity that somehow keeps Turkey out of the EU.

Lewis was annoyed at the voices, but didn't try to erase or hide the Lightbringer, which he left for people to do whatever with years ago. His fans and plenty of his detractors also knew about the character long before Oney


** This happened to poor Creator/LewisLovhaug when he had a... [[CantTakeCriticism less than enthusiastic]] reaction to ''WebVideo/OneyPlays'' mocking him for his ''[[OldShame The Lightbringer]]'' comics. Basically the whole reason anyone even knows what "The Lightbringer" is, let alone cares, is because they looked into why his feelings were so hurt and why he didn't want to talk about Oney after the audio from their ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'' introduced him as [[IncomingHam THE LIGHTBRINGER]]. Now there are numerous videos on Youtube explaining why, and several outright fan animations of the incident. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-hJA03fAXo Lets watch!]]
