* AcceptableHobbyTargets: In-universe, this is true of some characters:
** [[OccidentalOtaku Gabe]] is fascinated with anime and manga.
*** Coach Gordon mocks Gabe for this and accuses him of an interest in {{Hentai}}, which (given Gabe's reaction, may have been RightForTheWrongReasons (Gordon only knew Gabe was an anime fan and was reaching for an appropriate insult).
*** Even ''Devin'', who comes to ''like'' Gabe a lot, teases him on this issue. Of course, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Devin]] enjoys needling everyone, including his [[TrueCompanions best friends]].
** A more serious contempt, tinged with considerable ''horror'', is felt regarding [[spoiler: Wesley]]'s collection of[[spoiler:snuff porn]]. Of course, snuff porn (if genuine) is illegal ''and'' quite immoral (because of the necessary murders in its creation); even if phony, it is considered a rather sick turn-on. Even [[spoiler:Wesley's best friend, his ''sister'']] is repulsed by the discovery.
* AcceptablePoliticalTargets: Aaron thinks it's bad to be LGBTQ and okay to mock them. The authors (and the author of ''this'' page) obviously think it is okay to be LGBTQ and bad to mock them. Aside from this, the authors are remarkably even-handed in their presentation of characters with varying politics.
* AcceptableProfessionalTargets: Devin, who is the only one of the Journalism Club shown so far to be particularly political, dislikes the police, which causes some tension before Gabe admits that his father is on the Hearthbrook police force.

* AttractiveBentGender: Cail. Probably a transgirl, and an utterly adorable GenkiGirl who was once a LovableJock. Though this is partly [[AvertedTrope averted]] in-universe, in that nobody seems to be sexually-attracted to her. Yet.
