There is infrequent use of very strong language (‘c**t’), in addition to more frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘prick’, ‘dick’, ‘shit’, ‘bastard’, ‘ass’ and ‘bloody’.
sex
A book reading contains a strong verbal reference to a sexual act. Occasional milder sex references include images of people wearing fetish-inspired leather gear.
discrimination
There is a reclaimed use of the discriminatory term ‘poof’. A woman speaks about finding it difficult to accept her son’s homosexuality, but her attitude is not condoned by others.
drugs
A comic scene contains brief sight of a bottle of amyl nitrate.
sexual violence and sexual threat
During a comic scene, a man is asked if he’s in therapy because he was abused as a child. He immediately denies this.
theme
