While the actual pooping is not discussed, there is a scene involving poop (consumption and self stimulation) It is meant more to flesh out the depravity of a character and can be skipped (p. 46)

Antagonist is portrayed as queer and eventually dies.

One child, who is frequently called the f-slur but whose sexual orientation is not known, also dies.
