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

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

around 38 minutes, visual only. during muffy's backstory, it happens as soon as her and her husband get home. it's a close up and very sudden, but also very obviously fake. 1hr 16 mins, a couple seconds after mo says "it'll never go soft, muffy", visual and audio.

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 p***s after getting a phalloplasty. not one of john waters’ more sensitive moments of trans representation.
