It's kinda funny how people character Kris and the Player's relationship like Freddy and Jesse in Nightmare on Elm Street 2, even outside of Weird Route.

In more ways than one depending on who you ask.
I've seen people say that Weird Route is "Two Queer kids being forced into a Hetero-normative relationship". which is a reverse of Freddy and Jesse, with Jesse being in the closet and Freddy representing his gayness.
Granted that wasn't the intention in the script, purely just a happy accident.
