oneshotted 

To be so blown away by a single incident that your entire mental architecture is re-wired, your beliefs permanently altered.

The implication is of an almost druglike fugue state.

Prior to its recent adapted meaning, oneshotted originated gamer slang: "When an opponent kills you in a single blow, you have been oneshotted."

“‘Ayahuasca’ is insane because it appears to be one of the most legitimately dangerous drugs with the potential to gigafry your brain but is exclusively taken by literal turbonormies who unironically want to like ‘heal internalized racism trauma’ and basically get oneshotted by it.” - tweet by @landsharkrides
