The sex depicted among the main characters is consensual; however, there are videos within the narrative depicting struggling, nude people being restrained and beaten.

The film has orientalist depictions of geishas in porn and belly dancers at a restaurant. However, the former is at least depicted as exploitative and sleazy

No overt antisemitism, but may be worth mentioning that a character has a humorous picture on his wall of Hitler wearing a ballet tutu decorated with a swastika. You see this in the background a few times.

In typical Cronenberg fashion, the gory practical effects are showcased in full detail. On example is a scene of the main character has a slit in his stomach, resembling a woman's vagina. He digs his hand into it and pulls out a pistol. The gun then fuses with his hand, showing sharp metal tubes inserting themselves into his hand and wrist.
