*SPOILERS*
It is revealed in the film that not only is Jane O'Brien media a man named David D'Amato, D'amato has also been giving out fake information and sending false legal documents to the filmmakers. Lying could be considered a form of gaslighting, I suppose.

A cisgender man is busted for stealing a woman's identity. Someone says "'she' is actually a 'he'" in reference to this. No transgender people are misgendered in the film.

There is nothing explicitly sexual, but all of the tickling content is fetish content, made to arouse people with a tickling fetish. It's all a little sexually charged.
