Two characters are forced to eat live bugs (but they don't appear to be that live on camera).

A character has a penis surgically installed, and then later cuts it off. The prop is not realistic looking, but the scene is still intense and gory.

i don’t remember any slurs but there’s a lengthy scene of transphobic verbal abuse against the character mole that culminates in him cutting off his penis after getting a phalloplasty. not one of john waters’ more sensitive moments of trans representation.
