*** Possibly, but since they state the same "beat straight" lines whether the player picks Cis or Trans, the possibility that they cannot differentiate Cis and Trans is more likely.

* 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'' let alone clarified her transgenderism. 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 a cis girl, trans boy or non-binary]].
** Non-binary wouldn't be an issue either, since it's gender identification not biological gender. New Kid likely never clarified they saw themself as gender neutral.

* At first, the idea that a female New Kid's own parents got her gender wrong in ''The Stick of Truth'' sounds pretty funny. But it can carry some UnfortunateImplications should she be a trans girl. Now one could argue that she simply didn't come out as trans prior to ''The Fractured But Whole'', but WordOfGod stated that this game takes place immediately after the first. So it's easy to assume that the New Kid's parents simply believed her transgenderism to be a "phase". Fortunately, the fact that they seem to be supportive of the New Kid's gender identity should they be a trans boy or non-binary relieves this somewhat.

* Cartman being more of a jerk to the New Kid this time around coincides with his Coon character and the change in superhero setting. In the show, when the boys are playing around with a fantasy setting, Cartman tends to be more heroic and determined to complete their mission as seen in episodes like "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers" and "Make Love, Not Warcraft". By comparison, he's much more manipulative and selfish when he's the Coon, trying to frame others to get his way and even taming Cthulhu to destroy the things he hates.

* Possibly coincidental, but the Speedster's backstory consists of the New Kid walking in on his parents [[PrimalScene doing the dirty]]. Something he really ''did'' do in [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth the last game]], so technically, that really ''is'' part of his backstory.

* If you take a good look at the Coon's franchise plan, you'll see that Human Kite only gets name-checked in Phase 1. Given that Human Kite is actually Kyle, it wouldn't be beneath Cartman to ''kill him off'' at some point. Probably in his first movie.

* Why does Mysterion/Kenny get relegated to Netflix? The Coon/Cartman likely did it as a dig because he's poor. Alternatively, it's been established in the show that Kenny is both a more popular hero than Cartman ("The Coon") and the others' preferred leader (the "Coon and Friends" trilogy). Naturally Cartman wants to [[ReassignedToAntarctica downplay Kenny's role in the franchise]].
