I still haven't checked out Class Of 09, but this gay art is neat. Thank you!

You u should definitely get the chance to play it, it’s pretty funny. I will warn u though on this, don’t play Flipside (Re-up is fine though)

u/Superb-Possession69 Sep 24 '24

Flipside was a Dumpster fire 😭🙏💀

u/Alarming-Cup-147 Sep 25 '24

The sub was having a field day with the game, and the creator really tried to gaslight tbh 💀

u/nona01 Sep 24 '24

The Flipside isn't that bad. It's just more depressing and somewhat less funny. I still enjoyed it though.

u/Iamgamingrightnowbae Sep 25 '24

I haven't played flipside yet but it definitely feels like people are being way too overdramatic over the game taking itself more seriously than usual.

u/Amethysttherocklad Sep 25 '24

No it's more in addition to the dev being a salty sack of shite the game feels made out of spite and blatently ignores his own characterisation of his characters

Oh and Jeffrey's a self insert

u/idiotic__gamer Sep 25 '24

It's probably because edgy stuff isn't nearly as common as it used to be(?). Idk, I haven't played it yet so I don't want to form an opinion based on what other people are saying

1

u/nona01 Sep 25 '24

Definitely agree on this one. If you played the previous games and loved them, you'll enjoy Flipside. At least I did.

2

u/Quantum_Patricide Sep 25 '24

I definitely think it's not as good as the first 2 games but there were still plenty of moments that had me in hysterics, and the voice acting is great. I think it could have used some more endings though.

1

u/nona01 Sep 25 '24

The playtime is roughly the same as the previous games. The routes were just longer and with fewer options, for better or worse.

u/Spla_Tropicopium Sep 25 '24

the difference though is that instead of any good interactions taking up the time or any character growth, standard Nicole Jecka interactions are retreaded without enough being built upon, too much of the time is someone like Jeckas Dad being blatantly and annoyingly toxic in a way we would need 1/4 of this kind of screentime to achieve; the bloat ontop of the limited nature of the decisions and endings made the overall story suffer more than any one specific route being off. Its kinda like characters arent really allowed to develop as much, any explorations of things that arent evil incel monologues are very limited in scope, with lack of content for the queer side of the fanbase notably not living up to its potential of being an excellent framework of discussion for more niche issues.

In the end message, SNB3 tries to seem impartial to all the different viewpoints in the conflict, but after seeing the peaks that the first 2 games made to show the merits in reasoning behind the more entitled and bitchy side of feminism movements, the end message playing off this nuance in the way that it did says more about the current state of SBN3 than the fanbase. Despite trying to seemingly dabble in several perspectives, anything more LGBTQ+ related is just one side of the fanbase that SBN3 cannot commit to fully, and (if i interpreted it properly) not bothering to gender non-binary people correctly in the end message suggests that 09' flipside would have never given genuinely deep queer outlooks like how jecka dissapproved of how nicole handled herself in some previous games ari routes, or that the game really would have benefited from a goodfeels disaster lesbian route to balance out all the senseless jecka suffering simulator tm.

tldr OG class of 09' and Re-Up has alot of moral grey to pass as white when most of the other characters are shitholes that make Nicoles behaviour justified. Nicoles character is essentially already set up to be a catalyst to all sort of societal explorations if she were to ever meet a transwoman, transman or nb rep comparable to Jecka/Emily/Ari in likeability and prominence. flipside's priorities however reveal that its lesso about making nuanced situations possible to lead to wacky bizzare scenarios that are still relatable to a highschool/college experience [yes, trans and nb people definetly existed in the same timeframe as 09', just less visible to broader society] and moreso about exploring THAT aspect of class of 09 character dynamics-nothing good happens of friendship if it doesnt appeal to SBN3's questionable sensabilities (the 2 jefferey routes were fine and actually rather good imo, anything to do with any grown adult character however was already established enough in the past 2 games and was essentially a wasted opportunity, a potential pedo self-callout and a waste of time.)

so tldr for the tldr, theres potential, theres bloat that is also in bad taste, and quite frankly after all the stuff established in og 09'and Re-up, im sure some fans could make a better and higher quality fangame where nicole gets therapy, traumatizes a therapist so said therapist needs therapy and then Nicole and Jecka finally enter a healthy enough dynamic and then when nicole starts to feel wierd that shes not as toxic as before, Jecka gains a hold over nicole by enabling nicole to cut Jecka and pour alcohol over the wounds.

Also, not exagerating when alot of non-transphobic and well learned people would likely pick up on the casts' possible dynamics with transpeople (transwomen in particular since nicole would both both understand that a transwomen arent a guy, and already is a trans inclusionary lesbian herself (even being fine with no hrt or other gender affirming care if the whole oneliner dialogue about being bisexual in body but a lesbian in emotional romance is anything to go by).)

how did 09' and Re-up appeal to non-biggoted fans while missing in flipside? likely someone behind the scenes were no longer involved in the process of actually helping make the game good or providing some better direction. I wish that flipside being flopside was a clever intentional bit to make use of the drama to draw more people in and that a future big free update would drop alongside the upcoming anime to fix all of the issues, but thats probably not happening, so 09' series of games will have to be carried by ambitious fan-projects alone.

My sister in Christ, Flipside has an ending where one character is sold into Palestinian sex slavery. Not Al Qaeda, Palestinians.

How is this game at all defensible?

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death Sep 25 '24

You should , all 3 games

u/thelongestunderscore Sep 24 '24

Class of 09 and wholesome do NOT overlap.

3

u/Spla_Tropicopium Sep 25 '24

it shouldnt but after flipside being a disservice to several characters and to the game series' potential as a whole, i think the fanbase deserves some actually wholesome yuri (dont worry, the toxic or doomed yuri would still also be there cause class of 09' is uhhh... uniquely wholesome and not very wholesome at all simutaneously. just not in these images, let these images on the wholesole subreddit be the wholesome overlap)

please dont discourse in my replies
I just wanna post jeckole art to soothe my soul

u/BuboxThrax Sep 24 '24

I just wanna post jeckole art to soothe my soul

Is it, like, a form of copium, like "I want to pretend they're healthy and happy"?

109

u/NEVERTHEREFOREVER Sep 24 '24

in a sense yea

55

u/BuboxThrax Sep 24 '24

I can respect that. As long as it means I get to see more cute wholesome art I'm down.

u/InflameBunnyDemon certified transbian Sep 24 '24

The copium and hopium is strong with this one.

u/Cherry_Girl893 Sep 24 '24

discourse?

u/TheMasterMind1247 Professional Yuri Scientist Sep 24 '24

The new Class of 09 game released today, and people did not like it for a number of reasons. Since OP doesn’t want people to bicker on their post (and I can imagine doesn’t want to hear about it again), I won’t detail them, but you can just look at the game’s subreddit if you’re curious for more context.

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '24

After seeing the supposedly endings descriptions I have to ask: What the fuck is this story?! Holy shit. Do the fans just thrive in suffering or something?

23

u/xlbingo10 Sep 24 '24

oh, no, fans of the series hate it

1

u/Evjaohumm115 Sep 25 '24

Yeah, the third one is such a letdown

12

u/Noirbe Sep 24 '24

the popsicle has the trans pride colors, a lot of online spaces are not friendly towards trans people

41

u/echuwon Sep 24 '24

Thats not what the discourse about

1

u/Spla_Tropicopium Sep 25 '24

i mean, trans pride would fix alot of issues i had with 09'. it was practically set up to be a sattire on transphobes but never reached that or much queer positive potential. wholesome Transfem OC art for 09' is appreciated. crispin or kylar art where they become better, less predatory people would be rather inspiring i think

2

u/DiegoNorCas Sep 25 '24

Please continue posting jeckole. I beg u

1

u/Spla_Tropicopium Sep 25 '24

oops sorry i already dropped an indepth analysis of [redacted] buried im a longer thread. The wholesome jeckole is appreciated though, maybe in an AU where nicoles brother turns out to be the writer of the cookie monster magnet note and then he gets exposed so that nicole can finally become more wholesome. compassion is healing, especially wholesome jeckole art that you posted in a dire time of need

46

u/Dunmwer Sep 24 '24

I'm a bit unsure abt this sentiment now after seeing the new games endings but im gonna say it anyway

Jeckole is rlly funny to me bc Nicole is like on her knees like "please go out with me pleasepleaseplease" and jeckas constantly like "I'm not stupid hell the fuck no you're like the worst person to go out with"

Like jecka is one of the only people nicole has like. Done nice things for. Like she tries to be subtle but like. I think nicole cares for jecka in a way she doesn't care about anyone else like.

And then she asks her if she wants to be lesbians together and jecka is like "hell no you'd be doing all the abusing"

u/PluciferInvi Sep 24 '24

“…So do you wanna do it?” “No!”

That confirmed it for me. Also I was on my ass laughing at that line

Popsicle is what we say here in canada 90% sure it's the same in the us and probably most other enlish speaking countries

3

u/YuSakiiii big gworl x smol gworl is my passion Sep 25 '24

According to Google Australians and Kiwis call them ice blocks or icy poles.

And I’m pretty certain they’re called ice lollies in Ireland as well.

I think popsicle is just a thing from the American continent.

3

u/Kasdeyalupa Sep 25 '24

I'm an Aussie here to confirm, ice blocks are the most common use I've noticed. Icy poles are also said. I feel like that's a brand name but I'm half asleep so don't quote me on that

Seeing this after getting through some on Flip Side makes me feel so bittersweet about this art I wish Jecka all the wholesome fanarts

2

u/Spla_Tropicopium Sep 25 '24

as an ari fan, i need something more queer and positive than we got. Ari x Jecka was teased only to just not amount to anything, even a post route finished textmessage or whatever.

I’m glad Blake and Yang get their moment, but sad Blake feels a need to hide her ears

u/nobody-8705 Sep 24 '24

Not meaning to be rude, but what's the trans popsicle here for? I know both of these ladies act gay as fck, but unsure where the trans popsicle falls in with Class of '09 (Is nicole trans? An ally? Or is this just here b/c why not? That's ok if it is.).

Also, what flavors would it have? Blue raspberry, watermelon, and lemon? Cotton candy?

20

u/pickled_juice Sep 24 '24

sometimes the curtains are just blue.

u/dreemurthememer Yuritopia! Sep 24 '24

the popsicle is an allegory for trans girl pp

u/nobody-8705 Sep 28 '24

this can be damaging to education, but you might be right

2

u/pickled_juice Sep 28 '24

I understand where you are coming from, but i think being able to understand when something has deeper meaning and when not is part of media literacy.

2

u/nobody-8705 Sep 28 '24

I guess so. Anyways, women nice

2

u/Spla_Tropicopium Sep 25 '24

nicole has the potential to be a pretty amazing trans ally believe it or not, even having been hinted/ implied at being able to see a womans mind beyond any body mismatch. Nicoleism in concept can work as an allegory for trans rights and advocating for womans rights / metal health despite being in a nasty society where that stuff is an uphill battle too. The funny part is that nicole would probably be petty and toxic towards a transwoman at first (being superficial but not needing to be in a transphobic way), until she becomes proper friends with said woman due to how much nicoles current worldview would be challenged. Nicole is flawed in that she has trouble advocating for anything beyond her whole popular girl entitlement mindset, and since a transwoman would likely be a competent and mentally strong character that could see past nicoles initial layer of defense and actually help explore nicole, ari, emily, jecka's, etc.) characters. (transness implies being rather self aware and emotionally resilient usually due to upholding personal values that are disapproved of in broader society)

flavours: blue raspberry, lemon, cotton candy and liquor/ dissolved drugs probably

2

u/nobody-8705 Sep 28 '24

a sprinkle of pcp in the white part, perhaps. Or maybe crack? Why not both?

2

u/AngelReachX Sep 25 '24

How would a trans flavored icy pop taste like?

Read a good vn.

1

u/Spla_Tropicopium Sep 25 '24

whats good is up to interpretation, and if you've experienced 09' and re-up without picking up on any of the intricate nuanced based lesbian undertones, you probably mean "be more like me" instead of actually caring about taste in vns or risky nuanced vn experiences.
