no character is pedophilic. however, the filmmakers gave all the viewers an upskirt camera shot of a minor charactor, played by a minor actress. possible they used a stunt double but it is meant to be a 17yo girl.

A major plot point of the movie is about teenagers from different cliques having to interact with one another and there are disagreements between them that involve hate speech based on their preconceived stereotypes of each other
