* [[Big Fun]]: Louis, a big boy you meet in your Adolescence stage. {{spoiler|The fun comes when you choose to be nice to him and invite him to your party despite your Jerkass friends saying otherwise due to his weight, where you become good friends with him and his mother will invite you and him to a trip to Hawaii.}} |

* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: Within the game. You can do a lot of really huge events from being hailed as a hero to being a beloved rock-star in a band, or to have been arrested for selling drugs or setting your house on fire. Other than alter your stats, most of what you do will rarely ever be mentioned again beyond the scenario they took place in. |

* [[Casanova]]: You, especially during your Childhood, Adolescence and Adulthood chapters. |

* [[Cowboy Bebop at His Computer]]: One of the scenarios involve your friends asking whether you've seen a show you weren't able to watch. You can then bluff them either on how you've seen the show or the reason why you didn't, but if your stats don't meet up it leads to this. |

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Although you never say anything explicit outright ([[Symbol Swearing|it's always symbol-censored]]), you can make precision swear strikes as young as in the Childhood chapter (although with punishment) onward, where in Adulthood it is used for wittier remarks with fewer backfires. |

* [[Rape as Backstory]]: Only in the male version, but {{spoiler|you can apply for a job that involves you starring in adult movies, actively engaging in sex in Adolescence. However, it turns out the studio owner is a crook and you are constantly raped and humiliated while he rolls the tape, ending with your boss kicking you out without pay while telling you you're lucky he's letting you live, followed by him disappearing without a trace if you tell your parents or the police.}} How straight this trope plays, however, varies because [[Canon |

* [[Rated "M" for Money]]: The game didn't sell well as most parents had raised eyebrows of the game's very visible warning that it has strong sexual themes. It's right, but the game immediately gives you a heads up if you try to trigger a scenario with said sexual themes (and won't penalize you if you skip them), and the content you see isn't anything worse or any more explicit than you can find in a sex-ed class (besides sexual encounters with your spouse or someone else, for instance, a lot of these events involved you just beginning to learn about sexuality as you're growing up). |

* [[Self-Deprecation]]: A lot of the instances you become depressed are when you chose depressing or degrading responses or focus on your lack of self-worth or self-confidence rather than from after-results of wrong choices. |
