History YMMV / ClassOf09

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Despite the story being a DeconstructiveParody of {{dating sim}}s where characters trying to form a relationship with the main heroine tends to end in disaster, the fan base constantly ships Nicole primarily with her female classmates such as [[FanPreferredCouple Jecka]], [[DestructiveRomance Emily]], [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Ari]] and [[FoeRomanceSubtext Megan]].

* TheShipsThatPassInTheNight: Ari is often paired with Karen in fanfiction [[spoiler:usually coming off of the heels of Ari breaking up with Nicole]] despite them sharing no scenes together, likely because Karen is the least dysfunctional girl in the entire cast.
* SignatureScene: If there's one part of the series that's well-known to people even outside the series' fandom, it's the scene of Nicole going to school and finding out [[spoiler:that ''ninety-five percent of the entire school'', including Jecka ''and even the teachers'', have been indoctrinated into Mr. White's white nationalist cult.]] It both perfectly exemplifies the dark subject matter of the series and [[BlackHumor demonstrates how most of that subject matter is played for comedy.]] [[spoiler:Even the introduction to the ''Re-Up'' takes special care to mention Mr. White's status as a white nationalist.]]

** Jeffrey is annoying, entitled, and sometimes downright creepy, but he's also far less of a terrible person than Nicole is and it's genuinely sad to see her and Emily sabotage his relationship with Karen just because they didn't want him to be happy. [[spoiler:The phone messages implied to come from him also reveal that he is a lot more affected by being alone than it initially appears.]] By all accounts, he's just a kid with NoSocialSkills surrounded by peers aren't forgiving of that fact, which does make him incredibly pitiable even when he does nothing to correct the worst parts of his behavior.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: In-universe, Kylar is an obnoxious JerkJock [[spoiler:who is mourned by no one after he kills himself in one route]]. Out of universe, he's one of the most well-liked characters thanks to him taking his stereotype so far and being so blatantly politically incorrect that everything he says loops back around to being hilarious.
* DarthWiki/WarpThatAesop: Never, ever be nice to anyone. Ever. Otherwise they'll constantly harass you [[spoiler:and drive you to suicide]].

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Despite the story being a DeconstructiveParody of {{dating sim}}s where characters trying to form a relationship with the main heroine tends to end in disaster, it doesn't stop the fan base from shipping Nicole primarily with her female classmates such as [[FanPreferredCouple Jecka]], [[DestructiveRomance Emily]], [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Ari]] and [[FoeRomanceSubtext Megan]].

* LGBTFanbase: A surprisingly large fan base given the humorously over-the-top offensive dialogue due to the DeliberateValuesDissonance of the late 2000s settings. While ''Re-Up'' does play up the LesYay and introduces a few GayOption, those routes are suppose to be deconstructions as they show that Nicole's female relationships are just as destructive as her potential male relationships. ''Re-Up'' is even given the nickname of "Toxic Yuri Simulator" in some circles. However, a lot fan still love the extremely flawed and sometimes even relatable relationships that the characters have with each other. Noticeably, the games' most popular ships are primarily [[SlashFic femslash]], helpted by [[HoYay/ClassOf09 all of the game's Ho Yay]] and outright AmbiguouslyGay[=/=][[AmbiguouslyBi Bi]] moments revolving almost entirely around the female cast.

* GeniusBonus: In the LA ending in ''Re-up'', Nicole says during her narration that the payout she got from her lawsuit against the school was "so hot" before mentioning she's met another Nicole in LA who's famous. The Nicole she's referring to is Nicole Richie, adopted daughter of Music/LionelRichie but during the game's 2007-08 timeframe, was frequently club hopping around LA with Creator/ParisHilton, with Richie's coining the phrase "That's hot" during the time period. Evidentially the three of them met through their shared taste for expensive narcotics. By the time of game's release, Nicole Richie had long since faded into pop culture obscurity and only players who themselves were teenagers in 2007-08 would've understood the reference.
