The temporary change in personality that occurs after being deeply involved with a movie, book, game, or some other work of fiction.
Can also be expanded to nonfiction ("documentary lag" or some other variant), but is less common because those works are typically experienced through the frame of the reader/player/watcher's default personality.

Get the fiction lag mug.Attempts to refute an argument by showing that it matches a pattern of behavior typical of a person or group. What makes something right or wrong is the set of reasons for it, not the ability to recognize that it exists. (Can also be thought of as argument by pattern-matching.)
"You match a pattern of behavior or stereotype that I have described, therefore you are wrong."

Get the existential embarrassment mug."I'm really good at acronyms. My taste in music is pretty eclectic... I like the accordion waaay too much. I'm awkward. A saucy pocket pixie who loves to play dress up and go off on tangents. I'd die if I didn't have sriracha, coffee, tootsie rolls or my vintage map of Austin. I'm the only girl in my choir covered in tattoos. I also spend a lot of time thinking about food."
