"nicole's reaction didn't make sense to me" bro nicole has always been an ahole. to the HIGHEST degree. the game starts off with her dad killing himself and it's HER fault. a lot of the characters are horrible, but depending on the choices you make, you either are just as bad, or way fvcking worse. im just confused... how did you not see that?
@@KeyboardTarantulaI didn't get her "I'm going to kill myself" reaction. She claims that she didn't care about Ari anyway but wanted to die after the breakup
What's weird is Ari is also mildly abusive, threatening self-harming if Nicole didn't accept and love bombing her early on. She still is a Victim, but she has her own red flags and shit going on (probably abandonment issues and mental illness) Though, she was out-classed Nicole is a psycho and anytime she has a breakthrough with any sense, she always ruins growth or responsibility somehow.
It should also be mentioned in a different ending where you don’t date her at first Ari admits she can tell Nicole shows signs of an abuser and thinks it’s hot and it makes her want Nicole more. Then she pretty much traps Nicole in a relationship because if Nicole leaves Ari could pin her house burning down on Nicole.
@@lelaine_arts Yeah, its weird, i see a lot of people defending Ari and seeming to paint her as an abused angel when it's not the case. They're both toxic people but Nicole (in this route) takes the cake ans becomes more dominant and on top.
@@lelaine_arts yeah she also spread a rumor about her and turn most people at school against Nicole… I’m not saying Ari deserves it, she’s just kinda terrible too 😂
Remember folks, abuse is abuse, regardless of gender or who's doing it to you. Big props to Jecka for sticking up for Ari. Edit: 7 months later and I realize how corny it was of me to comment this on what is basically White People Boondocks 💀
It's always a bad idea to be in a love relationship with Nicole. If you are a man she probably manipulate you for something else, something materialistic or petty like money, drugs, for revenge or to feel superior. And she will never love you because, for her you are or will be a rapist, murder and pedophile. And if you are a woman, it is about the same but tamer. For Nicole, love relationship is a game and if you want to win you have to be the one that pull the strings of the others feelings and she truly love the power trip of it. So in the end, she doesn't love you directly, for who you truly are but for the fact of being in charge and/or for what you have that somewhat interest her. However, it is heavy implied she is sexually attracted to other females through the game and show some regrets to Ari in this ending. So she isn't 100% evil, but by the time you try to fix her she probably break you.

There is probably more that i have forgotten. Individually all of those facts aren't really decisive, but put together. I can't say she isn't sexually attracted to women.
she's funny and has a sharp wit (which I respect) but I would interact with her as little as possible, nothing good can come from interacting with her.
We're starting to see scenes where Jecka distances herself from Nicole. She does better than Nicole in classes despite being plenty irresponsible, and seems to plan for college even though that's not even remotely on Nicole's radar. While she's still no angel, she's beginning to grow a spine against Nicole's perfect apathy, like when she presses Nicole her lack of grief if Nicole's mom dies, or when Nicole gets jail for dealing drugs. In this ending, she notes Nicole was simply being abusive because she enjoyed it, and realizes with disgust that she was only complacent with it before because it was directed towards men (somewhat justified because every guy in the story is actually shown to be a monster). So she leaves. It's hard to create a serious moral takeaway when the dialogue is absurdly dark gallows humor. But I think we're starting to see that Nicole isn't just the way she is because of her environment, though that's played a big role. She outright blames her misfortunes on her circumstances in spite of her own decision making in the drug ending. A lot of Nicole's misery is fundamentally because of her own decisions. She ruins other peoples' lives sometimes for nothing, sometimes for fun. Every decision in the game is justified not because people are important to her, but because of the effects they'll have on herself. Given that this is Nicole's story as told by her, we're definitely not getting the whole picture. It's ultimately not surprising that Jecka weirdly refused to offer her a place to stay in the homeless path, or that the only people in her life seem to be terrible people - you have to imagine that anyone who was genuinely nice had long ago been scared off. The first game had more serious endings where Nicole was a victim - the various self harm ends, getting bullied, getting assaulted, etc. In the second game, more of the somber endings are ones where Nicole is emphatically the guilty party. I can only imagine the third game will be one where Nicole is left behind by her friends who eventually mature.
Well said. Jecka is a bratty teenager too but she's not a bad person, in fact she calls out Nicole constantly and seems pretty shocked by her most destructive tendencies.
Well, to be fair. Everyone in this game is at least a bit of a horrific person. Even Ari, who is…stupid clingy and self harming if she thinks you’re abandoning/ignoring her. That’s like a category 5 red flag.
and you think lesbians don’t have unhealthy relationships. that’s how life works, okay? and jecka might follow nicole’s ideas, sure, but she’s still her _friend_ and tries to be the voice of reason (which is why she’s my favorite character)
Yeah, turns out lesbians have statistically more chances of having unhealthy relationships. Cheating, farting loudly and and etc are not an male only phenomenon. Besides, they have a lot higher rate of physical abuse
no because this shit is true and sad. ppl in social media really makes wlw/sapphic relationships look like rainbows and shit(im queer and this kind of relationship hurts)
i remember from middle school to high school, 3 girls liked me, and subsequently came out as gay! I'm a guy, and was fairly confused what to make of this. 🙃
@@killerkitten7534 Funnily enough, my best friend growing up turned out to be an egg. We were similar in a whole ton of ways, from asexuality, (they were full on, I'm only demi, whatever), hobbies, and personality. Now, they're literally me, but woman. I can't be an egg though, because being a woman implies being a bottom, and I'm not a bottom!1!!
There's no one big realization, she knows about that gay stuff already, she'll just move on and learn to be better friends with girls; love herself more. This story did make me tear up the first 50 times though.
i kinda feel bad for u guys agreeing with ari bcc it's like a really sad idea she got from being in an abusive relationship :( ppl aren't that one dimensional, and no matter what kinda relationship u get in there's always that risk of abuse. she got bullied into dating a man, she's still lesbian. and she can date a man and he can be the same way. it's like the wlw equivalent of "all girls are the same" 😭
@@deft4184 Ari may still be gay. Platonic love does exist, and she probably dated Hunter because he's likely everything Nicole isn't, including a dude. What's worse is Nicole is her first love and traumatized her in the closet forever.
It was watching this route when I realized I had escaped an abusive relationship during a time when my heart was in tatters, I was in the midst of moving out and every time I spoke to her she found a new way to make me cry. I stopped letting her in part because of Ari, and I'm thankful for that. I'm trying to pick up the pieces and approach intimacy with others again, find again who I want and who the person I want to be to them is, and it's really hard, sometimes I feel like I want to wretch because of the feelings it brings back... but there's a cute butch I matched with, and y'know, I have a really good feeling about them.
i love these channels that post random shit abt their lives in the descriptions but it also made me realize mine is like, suuuper empty and makes me wanna explode lol
Although sometimes I often understand and maybe even sympathize with Nicole, an ending like this reminded me that she is no way a person you should relate nor look up to. With most other endings within 09 and the Re Up, you can kind of find a justification on why you shouldn’t feel bad for her victims, whether they be cheaters, white supremacists, perverts, you name it. But an ending like this reminds the player that despite how cruel Nicole’s world is, she is equally as capable of that kind of cruelty, even possibly more. Ari poured her head and heart for her, and all Nicole gave her back was malice and manipulation. Belittling her, making her a pet, not caring about the fact that even if it was obvious she was gay, a first time experience like hers could make or break her experiences with relationships, and Nicole just didn’t give a single shit about her feelings. Theoretically, this could be the worst ending of the entire series, because it really shows that somewhere deep down, Nicole might actually be conscious about her actions, but is too self centered to even realize what she’s done, and who she's really hurt, consequences be damned. A side note as well, it’s also why the comparisons to Postal (among others) to me, at least, are really surface level and kind of egregious. Postal’s whole central fantasy is about being a terrible person and getting away with it, and while that fantasy is certainly present in Class of 09, it’s brought back to earth by the level of consequences Nicole faces, whether it is becoming a white supremacist, selling drugs to pregnant women, or in this case, being an abuser. You can get Nicole, just don’t look up to her, please.
i was in the same situation barely 5 months ago and had been in a long-term relationship that was super similar to nichole and ari, never overly violent like them but still super emotionally abusive. it's sorta enlightening seeing something displayed like this, the way ari suddenly has this wave of "oh, i've been feeling this way for so long but never able to name what is is until now" is *so* similar to how i realized i was being abused. seeing nicole reminisce about the relationship and trying to rationalize everything, and it's actually super scary how similar her thinking is with my ex. The breakup ending in nicole almost killing herself is sooo real😭😭breakups to me now just means preventing someone from kts. i might be overstreching myself but i dont think nichole came into the relationship to abuse ari. I think especially in cases where the abuser was abused or has a mental illness, the abuser is repeating behavior they've experienced in the past and because of that it's normal for them, and no matter how much people tell them that their behavior is hurting them they will never be able to stop it. Because of this accidental abuse happens which leads to many abusers believing they aren't abusive and just never change. lol i love analyzing human behavior and the writing in class of '9 has one of the best displays of human behavior i've ever seen. ari is the real one though, girls do make me wanna kill myself
Obligatory reminder that Ari is still gay for Nicole and offered to be friends with benefits after this. She wasn't really bullied into being straight at all. What is it with these videos and never showing the Text Messages you get at the end?
@@scottscott8123 Lol no. Ari getting high isn't anything new. Pretty much every teenage girl in Class of 09 (aside from Karen and probably Megan) were already popping pills and getting high on some shit. Did you forget Ari getting high on Whip-Its with Nicole before making out during the mall date? Ari was traumatized from dating Nicole, sure. But definitely not to the point of her being straight and abusing drugs. She's still willing to bang Nicole and pay for lesbian sex. Ari is just canonically a masochist and enjoys being abused by Nicole. Its just that in this route, she hasn't arrived at that revelation yet until after the break up.
@@dondog3123 She already has. Whip-Its were new to her, but Ari definitely has gotten high from other stuff before. Girl wasn't THAT innocent before she met Nicole.
call it victim blaming or whatever but ari needed therapy more than anything, judging by the codependency issues and the whole “telling someone you’ll cut if they don’t want to be in a relationship with you” thing. nicole’s “would you rather be alone or be with someone filled with red flags” speech at the end goes both ways here. at least with being alone the only one you subject to yourself is yourself. nobody else can wander in and fuck it up
I got bullied into being straight. except I never actually changed sexualities, just labels. yeah, I was attracted to girls in 2022. yeah, I was HEAVILY attracted to a boy in 2023 and still am. but I’m also simping for a girl that reminds me of a boy I used to like…so maybe I’m not as straight as I think
this route got me genuinely angry with Nicole. I am fine with her being edgy but the way she just takes advantage of Ari because she thinks there is nothing better to do has me so pissed.
@Ladisepic thanks for the info, I found out about this game almost after I posted my original comment though lol. It's now one of my favorite games ever, funniest thing I've ever seen
My favorite part about this ending is just how much it showcases Nicole's inability to empathise with others, and how it legitimately is a disability to the detriment of her life despite how much it protects her in the same way Like in the intro you hear the word *_"sociopath"_* and you just don't clock in exactly what that means until this ending Well this and the mall cop scene, but this ending showcases it way better and is one of my favorite
17:11 Oh, because that's *so* much better.. Side Note, unless I'm playing into some kind of bit of trauma pissing contest with a fictional caricature of the sociopathic mean girl, I wouldn't put my personal life and failure to function on broadcast.
the funniest thing about this ending is that nicole and ari could've been an OK couple had nicole been physically abusive instead of emotionally abusive
I don't like Ari, I have a love-hate feeling for Nicole. & I REALLY HATE THE COUNSELOR, but he's still a counselor. He was right about the abuse, helped the kids- despite being attracted to them- & mostly helped Ari realize she's being abused. Also I'd think Ari is like- heteromantic & homosexual. She likes Hunter [they might break up, y'know how Hunter didn't wanna be with Megan because she wasn't sexually into him] but she still loves girls... Just not in the way she would like to love girls. Or she's a kind of masochist, I dunno what type yet. Nicole MIGHT be Bi-curious, she wishes to be lesbian, she tried it but failed. Although, when she dated Ari, she almost felt something when she snapped at her until Ari revealed her vulnerability. Nicole's probably more aromantic tho. Sorry I just vomited this here.
Wow, I don't like this. That was actually triggering. Y'all, I promise, women aren't categorically like Nicole. If you're a young gay who's been in multiple relationships like this, it doesn't mean that all women or men will mess with your head, it means that you've been abused.
yo uhh i never thought about it til now but my ex was kinda like this but also not she whould let me be touchy but then get super defensive she whould like not care if anything happened to me by other people eve one time fully ignoring me she would get sucicidal if i had talked about my depression with her and i whould always have to take care of her when she got high. then she broke up with me dam..

Ari deserves sm better 😭 if Nicole doesn't want her ill take her
i was in the same situation barely 5 months ago and had been in a long-term relationship that was super similar to nichole and ari, never overly violent like them but still super emotionally abusive. it's sorta enlightening seeing something displayed like this, the way ari suddenly has this wave of "oh, i've been feeling this way for so long but never able to name what is is until now" is *so* similar to how i realized i was being abused. seeing nicole reminisce about the relationship and trying to rationalize everything, and it's actually super scary how similar her thinking is with my ex. The breakup ending in nicole almost killing herself is sooo real😭😭breakups to me now just means preventing someone from kts. i might be overstreching myself but i dont think nichole came into the relationship to abuse ari. I think especially in cases where the abuser was abused or has a mental illness, the abuser is repeating behavior they've experienced in the past and because of that it's normal for them, and no matter how much people tell them that their behavior is hurting them they will never be able to stop it. Because of this accidental abuse happens which leads to many abusers believing they aren't abusive and just never change. lol i love analyzing human behavior and the writing in class of '9 has one of the best displays of human behavior i've ever seen. ari is the real one though, girls do make me wanna kill myself
can u do one where nicole's mom calls the principal sexy 😭
I think that might’ve been in the su*c*de ending in the original version of the game if I remember correctly
Old women yuri
ari is so real
u get it
Obligatory reminder that Ari is still gay for Nicole and offered to be friends with benefits after this. She wasn't really bullied into being straight at all. What is it with these videos and never showing the Text Messages you get at the end?
well the point is that she’s repressing that again, she only offered to be fwb because she started abusing drugs and was high
@@scottscott8123 Lol no. Ari getting high isn't anything new. Pretty much every teenage girl in Class of 09 (aside from Karen and probably Megan) were already popping pills and getting high on some shit. Did you forget Ari getting high on Whip-Its with Nicole before making out during the mall date?
Ari was traumatized from dating Nicole, sure. But definitely not to the point of her being straight and abusing drugs. She's still willing to bang Nicole and pay for lesbian sex. Ari is just canonically a masochist and enjoys being abused by Nicole. Its just that in this route, she hasn't arrived at that revelation yet until after the break up.
@@cybrid37she started doing whip its after Nicole introduce her to it, although she may have already been doing drugs
@@dondog3123 She already has. Whip-Its were new to her, but Ari definitely has gotten high from other stuff before. Girl wasn't THAT innocent before she met Nicole.
@@cybrid37plus she won't take Nicole's rejecting lightly (tbf, Nicole's excuse was petty)
Scared Straight taken too seriously 💀
I just want to give Ari a hug, she’s going through hell in the first half, like damn
"straight AGAIN" I CANT
I don't know how I ended up at your channel, but this is great!
this game is hilarious with its shock factor
ari's a psych major in the making lol
ari just like me fr (I can’t stand my ground😘😘😘)
same 😞✊
me too...
god bless you
Real!! (I'm a people pleaser)
all of you are adorable and pathetic . i collect you
Humorously, the parallel ending is a straight girl being bullied into being gay.
call it victim blaming or whatever but ari needed therapy more than anything, judging by the codependency issues and the whole “telling someone you’ll cut if they don’t want to be in a relationship with you” thing. nicole’s “would you rather be alone or be with someone filled with red flags” speech at the end goes both ways here.
at least with being alone the only one you subject to yourself is yourself. nobody else can wander in and fuck it up
this isn't toxic yuri anymore its poisonous yuri
“Uhh Obama might be president soon, who’s worried about being gay anymore” HOW DID HUNTER OUT OF ALL PEOPLE PREDICT THE FUTURE
cuz this game came out in like 2023 :/
I got bullied into being straight. except I never actually changed sexualities, just labels. yeah, I was attracted to girls in 2022. yeah, I was HEAVILY attracted to a boy in 2023 and still am. but I’m also simping for a girl that reminds me of a boy I used to like…so maybe I’m not as straight as I think
Well yeah, you don't *become* one way or another, you just *are* whether one wants to identify as such.
Sounds like you are gay with some extra clauses.
i mean being bi still works
@@secktuss9610 yeah but i still recovering from a christian school
@@my.fav.no..is.12.point.9if you need help to get *bi* those feelings, I might be the guy to help(…shit this joke sucks)
im a gay guy who dated girls for the most part of my life. right now im crushing on a guy and its a nightmare
Nicole is such a iconic character bro and to think there are people out there like that
This game is so fucked up 😂
sad sause lesbians are like super cool i wish we invented them earlier so there were more in 2009
I feel like if Nicole was irl i feel like she would listen to xaviersobased or yhap
She listens to blink 182
if im being honest i wouldve paid to see ari be the abuser instead of nicole.
nahh she's just a doggy
this route got me genuinely angry with Nicole. I am fine with her being edgy but the way she just takes advantage of Ari because she thinks there is nothing better to do has me so pissed.
From what I hear, that is the point. They’re supposed to be unlikeable, to dissillusion yourself and stop putting hot girls on pedestals, I think.
this shit got real dark
Im so confused, I love this series so much, is this a game or just a youtube series or sumn?
I was wondering the same and found out it’s a steam game
6 months late but its class of 09, theres 2 games and a new one coming later this year
@Ladisepic thanks for the info, I found out about this game almost after I posted my original comment though lol.
It's now one of my favorite games ever, funniest thing I've ever seen
@@toongamer2810wait what is this game called?
@@Mariplayzgamez class of 09
Who wrote this? They actually know what they are writing about lmao
6:09
Caused me physical pain holy shit 😭
i love how jecka defended her.character with the best personality
My last girlfriend was literally like Nicole
YAURR IM EARLY FOR THE FIRST TIME 💯love ur vids especially the titles
thanks I would make them even funnier but I can't risk getting a strike again LOL
@@iyawiya LMAOOO
I love your channel just because the way you name videos make me laugh so much
16:07 lowkey fax😂 one more bad relationship with a girl and im switching to sword fighting
My favorite part about this ending is just how much it showcases Nicole's inability to empathise with others, and how it legitimately is a disability to the detriment of her life despite how much it protects her in the same way
Like in the intro you hear the word *_"sociopath"_* and you just don't clock in exactly what that means until this ending
Well this and the mall cop scene, but this ending showcases it way better and is one of my favorite
Ok I guess I don’t need a girl like Nicole then damn
Yeah it's really a mystery for victim's to understand the thoughts of the abuser. I've been in both roles.
wtf did i just sub to?.......*gulp*
Forgive me for thinking Nicole was iconic
17:11
Oh, because that's *so* much better..
Side Note, unless I'm playing into some kind of bit of trauma pissing contest with a fictional caricature of the sociopathic mean girl, I wouldn't put my personal life and failure to function on broadcast.
the funniest thing about this ending is that nicole and ari could've been an OK couple had nicole been physically abusive instead of emotionally abusive
it would’ve been ok if they weren’t abusive in the first place
@@veethesillymonkeyx3 boring...
Hey man. Saw your description I hope you're doing alright
i want a girl like ari
Same🤭
7:49 jecka predict my line here, trully a what the fuck moment
My ex gf did the same lmao except so much so that I have no attraction to women I don’t think I did in the first place honestly
Ladies and gents, *this is why the stereotype exists.*
I don't like Ari, I have a love-hate feeling for Nicole.
& I REALLY HATE THE COUNSELOR, but he's still a counselor. He was right about the abuse, helped the kids- despite being attracted to them- & mostly helped Ari realize she's being abused.
Also I'd think Ari is like- heteromantic & homosexual. She likes Hunter [they might break up, y'know how Hunter didn't wanna be with Megan because she wasn't sexually into him] but she still loves girls... Just not in the way she would like to love girls.
Or she's a kind of masochist, I dunno what type yet.
Nicole MIGHT be Bi-curious, she wishes to be lesbian, she tried it but failed. Although, when she dated Ari, she almost felt something when she snapped at her until Ari revealed her vulnerability. Nicole's probably more aromantic tho.
Sorry I just vomited this here.
Wow, I don't like this. That was actually triggering. Y'all, I promise, women aren't categorically like Nicole. If you're a young gay who's been in multiple relationships like this, it doesn't mean that all women or men will mess with your head, it means that you've been abused.
I’m literally the nerd kid
live laugh love jecka
i knew she was a sociopath after her remark ab smallville
best part 4:05 LMAO
That title is a wild💀
Nah this is hilarious but sad
this was like the first time i saw jecka sorta defend sb?? idk how to explain it
why does nicole lowk remind me of my ex bsf…
yo uhh i never thought about it til now but my ex was kinda like this but also not she whould let me be touchy but then get super defensive she whould like not care if anything happened to me by other people eve one time fully ignoring me she would get sucicidal if i had talked about my depression with her and i whould always have to take care of her when she got high. then she broke up with me dam..
Aww man! Now I gotta make another girl lesbian to compensate for this.
Btw are you okay your description is concerning
yea I am fine my gay relationship was in 2020 and I'm actually best friends with my ex gf now 💪

Am i the only one who bothers to read the descriptions on these videos?
