iβll be honest, if your players get randomly killed because of a trap, the trap might just be too strong and should do less damage

with the groups ive played with, theyβll nose dive face first into a trap just to see what happens. and thats only because my turn wasnt first

Foreshadowing is a pretty effective tool, yeah.
Ideally when the thing happens, whatever it is, the players go βoh that makes sense.β
Itβs not just about fairness. Itβs about narrative structure. Set-up and pay-off.

When I hear βBioshock goonβ, my brain defaults to set them on fire and shock the water when they jump in to put themselves out.

I personally hate it based on how itβs done in media. All too often a show or game (looking at you, Halo: Infinite) where some nobody comes out of left field and beats down the badass protagonist off screen.
You donβt pull some random nobody from left field after all this investment the story puts into the protagonist. There needs to be some development for the new villain, or the βbadasseryβ of them is unearned.
And that fight needs to be on screen. Otherwise it looks like the writer is just a hack that canβt actually imagine a plausible fight where the protagonist loses.
The Worf Effect is specifically when itβs established on screen
