Even just putting in a bit about feeling out of place and some strange merchant gave you a vial that brought out "your true self" would help some.
In a funny way, I actually find it easier to deal with people whose IC Fantasia has an "oops" explanation than people who make it a major part of their story. When it boils down to it, no matter how much time and effort people put into their "How I IC Fantasia'd" story, the grand majority of people are really changing their race for OOC reasons, and adjusting their IC stories thereafter. "This new race looks neat, I want to Fantasia into one, but I need to find a way to make it work with my story..." At least this is the case with every IC Fantasia I've ever seen.
So in that way they tend to be kind of immersion-breaking. It's like when an actor in a soap opera quits so the writers have to come up with some explanation for why they aren't there anymore. It will always feel kind of disingenuous.Â
Anyways, the "oops" stories are easier to cope with because people in those situations are more willing to just not talk about it, whereas some people who choose to RP their race change will inevitably make it part of a huge portion of all of their RP, so it's harder for people who aren't open to that kind of thing.
