    I would guess these people are suffering from some dissociative
    personality disorder and/or psychosis. Attackers claiming their victims
    were not real existed long before the Matrix films, but now they have a
    convenient explanation or term to use to describe their perception of
    the situation. A bit like how paranoid schizophreniacs today speak of
    being affected by "mind control beams" rather than telepathy or magic -
    the explanations are updated to fit popular culture.
