Phenotype is, effectively, all but the sole determinant of Clique. Clique is based on genotype and phenotype, and is immutable. There are and always will be 6 primary clique classifications:
Prep
Jock
Nerd
Scumbag
Loser
Woman
• A Jock can be misidentified as a Prep, or a Loser can be misidentified as a Scumbag, it happens.
• There are also individuals, who are hybrid between two Cliques, so what appears to be a normal Scumbag might, in truth, be a Scumgineer. This does not mean that he transitioned from Scumbag to Nerd but rather that his half-Nerd genotype took longer than usual to manifest in his phenotype being previously overwhelmed by his Scumbag genetics.
• There are hybrids between them. A Woman can be hybrid Woman clique with another clique or even (extremely rarely) two other Cliques. Not all women are Woman Clique.
• (A) Guy can be born into a Prep family that had recessive Scumbag genes in their genotype. (Then, when he leaves home, he reverts to his true self in order to achieve homeostasis.
III. SUB-CLIQUES
• The Loser Clique is subdivided into cliqued Losers and cliqueless Losers.
• Cliqueless Losers aren't really PART of the Loser clique per se but they are classified there for various scientific reasons.
• The difference between a cliqued Loser and cliqueless Loser is that the cliqued Loser will be part of some Loser community (Goth, FauxNerd, whatever) while the cliqueless Loser is reviled by all and is by definition a Loner.
• Cliqued Losers will gather together for support while cliqueless Losers will be shunned even by other cliqueless Losers. Friends = People who form social alliances based on Clique and Phenotype. No one wants to be friends with a Loser, not even other Losers. Posters are cliqueless and have Bad Phenotypes
• There are, of course, overlaps in certain areas between the cliques. For example, you will find both Jock and Prep executives. Likewise you will find both Scumbags and Losers doing menial tasks.
IV. IDENTIFICATION OF CLIQUES
Everyone understands Clique Theory on a sub conscious level. It is innate, because people naturally divide into groups to war for sex and power, and the most natural groupings in nature are based on genotype and phenotype. However, cultures can choose to set up rules, norms, and laws that either reinforce Cliques, or try to break them down. As has already been noted, the U.S. is set up in a way that not only solidifies Cliques, but ensures that we have the strictest Clique system in the world.
To identify someone's clique you do NOT look at their station in life but rather at their GENOTYPE and PHENOTYPE.

Games cost $200.000.000 to develop now for some reason so give them a break. I assume that these game companies have massive HR/legal/compliance/social media departments, along with thousands upon thousands of sinecures because Japan is communist and employment is guaranteed. Like 4 incels could make a game with FF4 graphics in literally 3 months, but somehow that's not acceptable anymore. Fuck Gen Y/Gen Z, seriously.
You won't get the feeling back. Even incredibly similar remakes like Metal Gear Solid:The Twin Snakes end up making you feel empty. They change a track here, a line there, some art direction there, and you're like "wtf is this?" They strip it of all nostalgia, so you're just playing a game that's been spoiled. After playing it, you're just going to want to fire up the original.
Like a lot of the subtleties that you imagined about Cloud's character and how he says shit is going to get blown up when you see that he is, in fact, an effeminate 5'6 weakling. The game was written/directed/made for its medium. Having characters actually speak those same lines aloud isn't going to come off right.
I graduated from Law School and went into E-Discovery on a Contract Basis. I was fired in 2009, the year in which I learned my all-time highest wage of $20/hr. What year is it now?
