they hate it for the wrong reason it seems. like they ALMOST grasp that it wasnt some deep irony post humor thing but actually just Mac self inserting his bitterness about being the friendless fat kid in highschool.
From what I've seen, it's just a mishmash of shit that I think ruined all the allure that it had for me.
The game's writing took a nose dive and the characters constantly and continuously say something along the lines of "fuck off, kill yourself" multiple times (in the first game the pedophilia accusations were thrown everywhere but in the second game i don't exactly recall any reoccuring phrases). One of my biggest issues is that things are out of touch like the "CHILD PORN WING" in the trafficking route (there's an alternate scene where it's a "Dan Schneider approved" child porn wing, which is kind of funny considering all the foot stuff randomly put in here but not all that funny tbh).
(i couldn't find the image on the steam community, but I know I saw it. Seems like things are getting deleted.)
There's a call back to Nicole's suicide from the first game and Jecka's the one who finds it, which could've had MORE impact, if the route wasn't just more shock value of Nicole fucking Jecka's dad with her toes in his mouth. The mention of Palestine FEELS like it was included, just to weed out certain people from the fanbase (which is funny because I think everyone is tapped out now from all the other shit.) The stupidest addition in my opinion, is that there's the Hatman.
Those unaware, the Hatman is a hallucination that comes from taking benadryl, and is a constantly cited sighting among people who are addicted to it. I could not find anything on Google that cited this sighting before 2010 except for
this article that feels like a literal boogeyman, rather than a hallucination. Please remember these games take place in the late 2000s and end around 2009 because of the namesake.
I still think it's rather tasteless to do all this just to weed out people even if you don't like it. But I do find it rather funny that a guy like him will throw accusations of pedophilia and that liking anime girls, no matter the titsize, makes you a pedophile, but then has the audacity to not only make scenes where Geoffrey is getting stepped on by both Nicole and Jecka, but also, is calling them mommy (was this even a thing in the 00s? I'm not a sexual deviant nor am I willing to risk searching "did people call sexual partner's mommy" even in incognito.)
These images were all taken from the Steam Community. I do not own nor have played Class of 09 The Flipside, so some of my statements may not be entirely factual involving routes. I have no plans to purchase or play the game in any state and will not be correcting any claims unless they're majorly incorrect (such as if the Nicole suicide is also the same route as her fucking Jecka's dad)
