* It might be just an example just overthinking things, but did Wendy break the Bro Code if you affirm the New Kid as a dude? This game's a direct sequel to ''Stick of Truth'' starring the exact same protagonist, and Bebe (who's HeterosexualLifePartners with Wendy) outright calls the New Kid hot only a few days ago. That said, Wendy herself flirts with a male New Kid (even calling him handsome).
** [[RunningGag Maybe Wendy is a two faced bitch?]]
** Wendy isn't a bro.
* It seems really odd that [[spoiler:Clyde is the one who has a breakdown in Mephesto's lab from seeing all the mutants, considering what he was doing to corpses in the last game.]]
** Considering that he thought the goo was Taco Bell Green Sauce, I doubt he knew what he was doing back then.
* Chaos has rows and rows of rubbish trucks filled with red LEGO pieces. Calculating by their size, roughly 24 million 1x1 flat pieces could fit in a rubbish truck. According to the official LEGO website, 1 1x1 flat piece is worth around 0.05USD. That means that it cost 1.2 million USD to completely fill one rubbish truck, far outside Butters' price range of 20,000 USD. So how did Butters get entire rows of filled trucks when to fill even one is outside his budget?
** Bulk discount?
* Tweek, Craig, Wendy, and Henrietta are all still susceptible to the Raisins girls' charming powers, despite none of them being attracted to girls. The New Kid is also still susceptible, no matter what sexuality you select for them.
** [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Doylist answer:]] So that no playable characters would be immune to certain status effects. Also, the New Kid's sexuality and gender aren't meant to be played seriously (It is Franchise/SouthPark, after all), so it wouldn't make sense for some sexuality choices to affect actual gameplay.
*** But then we've got mechanics where the New Kid is immune to grounding and can cure others of grounding, or how simply having freckles makes the New Kid and Captain Diabetes immune to Morgan Freeman's Charm ability. It sounds like the developers just didn't take sexuality particularly that of the New Kid into consideration.

** Thirdly, Most of the New Kid's encounters with Freedom Pals (especially in the first half of the game) involve them making vague claims and their franchise is destined to be more successful and that they're the better crime-fighters, while showing the New Kid no proof to back up either of these statements, which could have prompted the New Kid into believing that the Freedom Pals were just trying to be pretentious, and thus might've made the New Kid also think the Freedom Pals might not actually have even a moral superiority advantage. In other words; the New Kid may have suspected the Freedom Pals might be NotSoDifferent from Coon and Friends.

* The character tiers make sense when you look at it from an IRL perspective. For the lower tier, Craig isn’t taking the game very seriously as reflected by his costume and thus hasn’t put much effort into his attacks. Jimmy is handicap so he’s going to have trouble physically keeping up, plus unlike Timmy his “powers” aren’t considered game breaking. Cartman is out of shape with only his metal claws being of any notable use. When it comes to the higher tier, Token used his money to put together a more effective costume. In a similar vein Stan is using actual power tools. Then you have Wendy and Kenny who are both trying to be legitimate superheroes outside of the game. Kenny has an actual superpower, and Wendy with her legitimate hacking skills.

* Tupperware might have to identify as gender-neutral because he lost his genitals during an accident that gave him superpowers..
* The amount of enemies that the new kid gathers during ''The Fractured but Whole''. In ''The Stick of Truth'', the game ends at the status quo as many of the enemies were the result of the game the kids were playing. However, in ''The Fractured But Whole'', many of the enemies hate the new kid outside of the game they're playing. These include [[spoiler:sixth graders and Raisins Girls (who all likely go to the same school as the new kid), a group of intolerant GROWNUP rednecks who have no problems attacking children, crab people, and ninja assassins who are CONTRACTED TO MURDER A CHILD]]. If that's not bad enough, the new kid likely can't go to the authorities for protection as [[spoiler:the cops likely resent the new kid for foiling their cult]]. This is a LOT for a child to have to go through. If this continues, the new kid's parents might be forced to move again for their child's safety.
* The kids can make their powers real despite the fact that they are [=LARPing=], since people outside their LARP can be hurt or killed by their powers. What the hell is making their powers real!? Most of the enemies ''CANNOT'' be "playing around", because they are being visibly hurt and most of them are NOT even participating in the kids' [=LARPing=]. Not to mention, most of the kids' powers are NOT props in ''The Fractured but Whole'', in contrast to ''The Stick of Truth'', further proving that their powers are real in-universe this time.

* Once again the game lampoons the [[HeroicMime silent protagonist,]] however this game provides something of a justification. It’s explained in their backstory (their ''real'' backstory) that [[spoiler: the New Kid’s family moved a lot while on the run from the government. And while people would break into their home to get a selfie with the New Kid, they likely never had the chance to make friends with real people, much less with kids their own age, and [[NoSocialSkills interacting in real life is a new experience.]]]]

** And if you need proof, here's this: There's a chance that they say something along these lines: "What the hell is Cisgender anyway?" - "It's like you or me, idiot!" - "No way, I'm straight!"
* During the fight with Morgan Freeman, Captain Diabetes is inexplicably immune to his Charm attack, despite having no immunity to it outside said fight. Then you realize that the power that Morgan Freeman uses the power of his freckles to charm people. Captain Diabetes also has freckles, so naturally it would have little effect on him.

* The kids can make their powers real despite the fact that they are [=LARPing=], since people outside their LARP can be hurt or killed by their powers. What the hell is making their powers real!? Most of the enemies canNOT be "playing around", because they are being visibly hurt and most of them are NOT even participating in the LARPing at all. Not to mention, most of the kids' powers are NOT props in ''The Fractured but Hole'', MUCH UNLIKE ''The Stick of Truth'', further proving that their powers are real in-universe this time.

* Maybe I'm just overthinking things (and I probably am), but did Wendy break the Bro Code if you affirm the New Kid as a dude? This game's a direct sequel to ''Stick of Truth'' starring the exact same protagonist, and Bebe (who's HeterosexualLifePartners with Wendy) outright calls the New Kid hot only a few days ago. That said, Wendy herself flirts with a male New Kid (even calling him handsome).

* Wendy as Call Girl outright asks a cisgendered female New Kid why she lets everyone think she’s a boy. Besides [[spoiler: Chris and Kelly trying to keep her identity secret,]] it possible the New Kid also realizes the biggest reason she got to take part in the Stick of Truth and Coon Friends/Freedom Pals games is because everyone thinks she’s a boy [[GirlsHaveCooties and they wouldn‘t let her play with them if they realized that wasn‘t the case.]]

*** Also, since we don't know much about what the kids were doing between the events of the two game, far as we know, Craig and Clyde could've done something to have earned the New Kid's forgiveness and thus earned their way back into the Fighters of Zaron Game.

** First off, [[spoiler: the New Kid, prior to defeating Professor Timothy a second time, didn't know about their franchise plans, so they had no incentive to think they'd be given better treatment than what Coon and Friends have given them. Especially since Cartman [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe already has a history of being generous toward the New Kid.]]]]

** A fourth possible reason could be that considering that the Freedom Pals are implied to be better funded, more popular, and have extremely powerful members like Professor Timothy and Mysterion, it's possible the New Kid felt that siding with them to take down Coon and Friends (especially after unlocking their time bending powers) would be [[NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction way too easy]]. And considering that the New Kid already has a history of being a [[FanOfUnderdog Fan of the Underdog]], it would make sense if they thought they'd enjoy helping Coon and Friends defeat their stronger rivals better than siding with said rivals.

* While the confusion regarding the New Kid actually being a girl is generally PlayedForLaughs, it ''does'' make sense if she's a trans girl. Throughout the entirety of ''The Stick of Truth'', she never once ''spoke'' (until [[SuddenlyVoiced the very end of the game]], uttering classical "Screw you guys, I'm going home") let alone clarified her transgender status. So of course people will refer to her by her biological sex. [[FridgeLogic Then again, that just begs the question of how they failed to notice their biological sex should they be biologically female]].
