Should we call this the Musk effect? Feels mean to involve Streisand.

The Streisand Effect can be for vanity and secrecy. Trying to draw attention away from something the protagonist wants hidden brings more attention.

The Musk Effect can be for suck, for evil, for failure. Trying to draw attention away from evil brings more attention to the overwhelming amount of evil, of failure.
