Freud's Saygex
The fandom culture phenomenon and unwritten rule that as long as a character is not specified to have a defined sexuality, no justification is required for portraying the character with a set sexuality even if there's no proof of such in the original media. The gender identity equivalent to the phenomenon is referred to as "Shrodinger's Gender".
Fan #1: I personally like to imagine that the main character is gay.
Fan #2: But nothing in the canon suggests that he's gay.
Fan #1: Well, but then nothing in the canon suggests that he's straight, thus creating the Freud's Saygex phenomenon.

Shrodinger's Gender
The fandom culture phenomenon and unwritten rule that as long as a character cannot be definitively marked as cisgender, no explanation is required to justify portraying them as transgender even if nothing in the canon suggests that they are trans. In short, any character can either be cis or trans until observation proves them to be one or the other. The name "Shrodinger's Gender" derives from the classic Shrodinger's Cat theory, where a cat that is placed into a box designed to kill it cannot be definitively labeled as "dead" until observation proves it to be dead or alive. The sexuality equivalent to this is "Freud's Saygex".
Fan #1: I personally like to imagine Gordon is a trans man.
Fan #2: Why? There's nothing in the games that would suggest that he's trans.
Fan #1: Well, but then there's also nothing in the games that proves if he's cis or not, thus creating the Shrodinger's Gender phenomenon.

Strawmanner
A 'strawmanner' is someone who makes up a person, usually embodying a stereotype, to get mad about or use as an example in arguments. Basically, it's someone who makes a strawman that isn't real and uses it as a sort of punching bag.
p1: Man, p3 is a total strawmanner.
p3: You're just like that one woke liberal leftist who gets triggered by everything.
p2: I don't see any "woke liberal leftists" getting triggered by everything.
p1: See, p3 is strawmanning!
