Brittany: So, did you finally meet the new guy?
Brandi: I was really digging him on Ok-Cupid and then we met for coffee. He was wearing a Justin Beiber concert tee AND he had a mullet.
Brittany: MAJOR case of organic dissonance.
Brandi: The WORST.
Brittany: ((cringe))

A great example is Trump Supporters.
A great example is Trump Supporters.
Normal Person: just my opinion; Donald Trump is a good president, but far from the best. He recieves more praise than hes earned.
Person experiencing Cognitive Dissonance: Youre talking out your ass, and are clearly retarded. Your refusal to worship the one true God trump is only a prime example of your truly inferior intellect. You are a garbage American, and a garbage person.

When there is a disconnect between story and gameplay in video games. An unnecessarily fancy sounding term mostly used by pseudo-intellectuals to whine about violence in Bioshock: Infinite. To them, the idea of so much violence in a game about a violent man in a violent/racist city is somehow a huge shocker.
Disconnect between gameplay and story happens all the time. There are countless examples of games where characters soak up bullets during gameplay but die from a single bullet in cut scenes. Yet somehow violence in Bioshock: Infinite is simultaneously the most frequently used and worst example of gameplay/story disconnect.

Did you read that article on the reputable game journalism website about violence and ludonarrative dissonance in Bioshock: Infinite? You know, the same journalist website that gave the fundamentally broken PS3 version of Skyrim a 10/10?

I'm feeling cognitive dissonance like Susan Collins when I claim I support survivors but I vote for Bret Kavanaugh.

Ben Shapiro is so close to the point many have been trying to make, that All Cops Are Bastards, that he's actually making progressive's point for them, without realising, and thinking he's making a conservative, pro-police point; ladies and gentlemen, this is cognitive dissonance in action.

An unnecessarily fancy term for conflicting elements of ludology (gameplay, game design, et cetera) and narrative (story, characters, and the rules set up by the world).
Ludonarrative dissonance made the game a lot less enjoyable for me. You'd think that shooting a guy in the head would kill him instantly, but no, The Division seems completely oblivious to the fact that it's a Tom Clancy game.
