Line 61:
* [[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 Dis Continuity|it is never brought up again after the scenario ends]].
* [[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.
* [[Shotgun Wedding]]: If you play as a female, in your Adolescent years you will have a friend who will get pregnant, marry her boyfriend, and invite you to the wedding. It's never really stated as to whether the wedding was the couple's decision together, or if was a totally straight shotgun wedding decided by their parents.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: You can potentially be one in Adulthood where you try to think of the right ingredient to add to make a dish your family and friends rave about. {{spoiler|If the [[Random Number God]] agrees with you, you can become an overnight fast food sensation as well.}}
* [[Smug Snake]]: Sometimes you, other times the narrator.
* [[Take That]]: Sometimes, if you try to go against something the narrator really, ''really'' tries hard to make you go for, the narrator will pull this on you to either [[But Thou Must!|make your path null or to make you go to their path anyways.]] {{spoiler|An example is in Childhood, where you can choose to watch a new ''Superduck'' epsiode or help your dad with yard work. Insist on doing the former instead of bonding with your dad with the latter, and the narrator will say, "The episode was a ''repeat'', so there!"}}
* [[Tempting Fate]]: So many, ''many'' times you can do so that some choices are outright labeled "push your luck".
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: The crazy driver in the Adulthood chapter in the female version {{spoiler|right after he runs you into a ditch and before he shoots you to death}}.
