Line 14:
This trope isn't just limited to Moral Guardians. Hatedoms have had this happen. As mentioned with the Control Alt Delete theorem later on the page, because people can be ''so'' [[Foe Yay]] about works they claim to hate, people often find out about it from the [[Hatedom]] or [[Hate Dumb]] and either experience [[Critical Backlash]] or even if they don't like it...''still'' gave it sales or views. Similar to how people find out about something from the Fandom or [[Fan Dumb]].
Compare [[Attention Whore]], [[Forbidden Fruit]], [[Rated "M" for Money]], [[Avoid the Dreaded G Rating]], [[Sex Sells]], [[Overshadowed by Controversy]]. [[Content Warnings]] can be both a cause ''and effect'' of this. For when this happens but without the Moral Guardians, see [[Streisand Effect]]. See [[Bile Fascination]] for when the same thing happens due to rumors of the bad ''quality'' of a work. When there is an ostensible moral against something that looks appealing anyway, then it's [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]].
A form of [[Attack Backfire]]. In some cases, it may also be a [[Sleeper Hit]].
