There is a short scene with young siblings 'playing doctor' and an adult character rants about it in an extreme and embellishing way.

Two characters are forced to eat live bugs (but they don't appear to be that live on camera).

A character has a penis surgically installed, and then later cuts it off. The prop is not realistic looking, but the scene is still intense and gory.

i don’t remember any slurs but there’s a lengthy scene of transphobic verbal abuse against the character mole that culminates in him cutting off his penis after getting a phalloplasty. not one of john waters’ more sensitive moments of trans representation.
