Coming from the psychological horror Anime game Doki Doki Literature club. This term is generally used when a typically innocent show, game, anime or cartoon takes an unexpectedly dark and disturbing turn.

"Man, Madoka Magic really pulled a Doki Doki when Sayaka literally just went insane."

"Jesus christ, You think Madoka Magic is bad?? I can't believe that the anime Narutaru with its super cute and lighthearted opening just did a Doki Doki and had a guys head cleaved in half by a monster in front of his sister. And then having it shove a spike up her you know what."

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
