kafka trap 

A logical fallacy which states that a condition is affirmed through someone's denial. This term was written about in Franz Kafka's story "The Trial", hence why it is named after him.

Commonly associated with the social justice warrior or noted [racist] Ibram Kendi, who states that anyone who claims they are not a racist must be a racist. However, the denial can be about anything.
"Your denial of racism is proof that you are racist."
"That's a kafka trap, learn how to think."

A bootleg "logical fallacy" that weird dudes who spend way too much time on the computer like to invoke as if it's actually a thing outside of weird-computer-dude world.

"No it isn't"
"Yyyeah dude, it is"
"Ah. So I'm being accused of being a racist, apparently. I see. So suddenly I'm the worst person in the world, and I'm literally being sentenced to a million years in the gulag, for being guilty of racist thought crimes, supposedly. I see how it is. Nice try at kafkatrapping me though. Wait til the completely normal boys over on KotakuInAction hear about this one."

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.
