I should mention that a lot of players treat their IC Fantasia as a significant part of their character's history. You don't find out about it right away but as you get to know them they come out with it, or a friend of theirs casually says something like "that was back when he was a Lalafell" and all of a sudden you have to respond to this. The reason it's immersion breaking is because your character is being asked to accept something that you personally don't think is plausible from a lore perspective. It'd be like if someone tried to pretend that the Calamity never happened, or wanted to tell you that they were the Warrior of Light, or that they are the blood descendent of Bahamut.Â
It's annoying for the same reason that Godmodding is annoying. A person is taking their RP out of the territory of "My character says or does this," and into the territory of "I am telling you that this is how the world works." All of a sudden you can't really RP with each other because you're both playing by different rules. If you tell me that your character can fly by flapping his arms really fast, and my character expresses disbelief, and then you proceed to emote your character flying around the sky with the greatest of ease, then I think I'm justified in finding that obnoxious. My character, however, would find it fascinating and would tell everyone she knew about it. I don't really want to have to do this, so I have to break character and treat it as mundane or uninteresting in order to continue to RP with that person about things other than their magical flying power.
