Hmm, I'm curious. How is "could be a troll", "are you an incel/MRA?" any different from

"Are you an idiot?", or "Are you an as*hole?", Or "Could be an as*hole"

I think logic is being twisted here, people screaming 'personal attack' while constantly making personal attacks?

Legitimate questions.

The first also implies the opposite: "could NOT be a troll". The second is a direct question to gain clarifying information. The third, fourth, and fifth contain profanity and/or pejorative terms.

Fallacy of the Leading Question. You include your desired conclusion within the wording of the question itself. This is aside from the fact that the sentence is a non-interrogative statement that ends with a question mark.

Not that last one.

The last one begins with a thought and ends with a question mark because no conclusion has been made. 'I think" is not conclusive. I'm trying to understand what I can and cannot do.
