Microagression

Microaggression is a game mechanic in South Park: The Fractured But Whole. It takes place during combat after successful completion of Microaggression Academy.

Information
The New Kid is taught the difference between what a microaggression is and what it is not by PC Principal.

During gameplay, an AI-controlled opponent will sometimes quote a microaggression, giving The New Kid a chance to beat the opponent for a significant amount of health damage.

After a microaggression has been used, the phrase "Microaggression! Hit Em!" is played and The New Kid has approximately 5 seconds to press the corresponding button displayed on the screen to get a chance to punch the microaggression-quoted opponent causing a tremendous-damage count towards the opponent's health. If The New Kid does not press the button on-time, they would have lost their only chance to attack their opponent.

Microaggressions are normally used once during a battle, though it is rare but possible for microaggressions to be used more than once in one match. There are no microaggressions on the Danger Deck, From Dusk Til Casa Bonita, or Bring the Crunch expansion packs.

 * "You're going down, sissy!"
 * Explanation: "Sissy" is insulting to those who do not conform to gender ideals.
 * "Time to take out the fourthie trash!"
 * Explanation: Dismissive of those of lower socioeconomic status.
 * "I'm gonna crush you, pussy!"
 * Explanation: "Crush" and "pussy" used together really rile PC Principal up.

 * "America was built by Americans, not fucking minions!"
 * Explanation: A racist insult towards the Mexican minions that Butters hired.
 * "I'm gonna beat you straight, it's the only way!"
 * Explanation: Flagrant homophobia.

Freedom Pals

 * Toolshed: "You brought this on yourself when you sided with these assholes, Butthole."
 * Explanation: Classifying the assault done by himself as an outcome the choice that the New Kid made.
 * Tupperware: "Coon, you are pretty quick for a husky guy."
 * Explanation: Implying other people with strength are not fast.
 * Mysterion: "Fighting Doctor Timothy is a mistake beyond your comprehension."
 * Explanation: An obvious denigration towards the opponent's comprehensive abilities.

Chaos Kids

 * "You are a slave to Chaos!"

The Stick of Truth Combatants

 * Paladin Butters: "I'm more a healer than a fighter, fellas, though I can do both."
 * Explanation: In many role-playing games, it's very demanding against healing classes. Their damage output is usually low, but they can keep others alive, though taunting them for it is outright mean. In most of these games, healing classes are usually in the back lines healing and not always fighting (if they even have ANY damaging abilities) while the rest of the party is performing the heavy damage.

PC Principal

 * "My friend Brian looks like a chick."
 * Explanation: The word "Chick" is derogatory to females, and criticism of someone for looking feminine is offensive to those who are transgendered.
 * "Mr. Yamashiro is actually a very good driver."
 * Explanation: The use of "actually" implies that other Asian-Americans are not good drivers, and "Mr." is offensive to those of third gender.
