The tendency for an individual to wrongly come to a conclusion, largely due to that individuals obsession with a specific item or idea.
Danny states "Product X is only available on Apple IPhones, therefore Iphones are better." When in reality, Danny has an unhealthy obsession with Apple products and is rejecting the obvious signs that androids are better products. Danny is committing habitual false confirmation bias.

Get the Bia com i mug.The accidental bias developed after discussing something with a fictive about their source that may differ from the actual media. While fictives are not the characters from their source, they may still have attachment to that media and memories and opinions about it. Sharing these thoughts and feelings with others could result in a bias toward or against someone or something due to information only that fictive would have, making it unexplainable to fandom-goers.
"What do you think of Ada Wong? She's such a badass, right?"
"Sorry, I can't help but hate her—fictive bias."
