** Mr. Mackey shows how good of a school counsellor he can really be when discussing the New Kid's gender and sexual orientation. He not only patiently explains the difference between being transgender and cisgender, he also stresses that it really doesn't matter what you identify as in his eyes, it's ''all'' good. He even adds that some people might not take kindly to you, but insists that you'll be able to deal with that when it happens. And while he has faith in you being able to cope, he says that you can come back to his office at any time to talk to him. While he's a little awkward about it in places, ultimately Mr. Mackey is trying his hardest to understand you.
On a more meta level, the fact that so much attention and detail went into allowing the player to decide New Kid's gender and sexual orientation. They do an excellent job on explaining the differences, and everyone is treated the same, regardless of what you select; whether that's negatively or positively.

However, Call Girl and Professor Chaos immediately enter the battlefield to back up the New Kid because as far they're concerned, the New Kid is still their friend and that's all that matters to them.

* Out of all the adults in South Park, Liane Cartman seems to have the most fondness toward the New Kid. For starters; after Eric (as The Coon) broke up the fantasy game the New Kid was playing and left them in the dust, Mrs. Cartman was quick to encourage the New Kid to convince her son to let them play superheroes and potentially even gives some advice on how to find the password into the basement. She later asks the New Kid for help with her prostitution business (probably the first time she's trusted a child with something related to her business though she could be taking what the New Kid has faced in ''Stick of Truth'' into account) and rewards them generously when they prove a good helper, all while speaking in the sort of kind motherly tone she's mostly reserved for Eric, suggesting that Liane likes to think of the New Kid as a second child to her. And with the New Kid's parents being.... [[TheAlcoholic busy with]] [[TheStoner their own]] [[ParentsAsPeople problems]], it's nice to think that someone like the New Kid has a third parental figure they can look up to when their own parents are at their worst.

*** The shared Ultimate itself is a combination Moment of Heartwarming and Moment of Awesome. It has a big radius, and it both confuses and damages all enemies in range, making it perfect for groups of enemies. It's powered by a public display of affection (holding hands) and plays 'Let's Fighting Love' at the climactic moment in a shower of pink flowers. It's a big example of ThePowerOfLove the whole way through.
