[In general] A cult believes in the existence of "NPCs". While this refers to their belief the universe is a simulation, it reads very similarly to right-wing use of the term and is mostly used on female characters. [p.410-420] A character paraphrases their father's racist and sexist comments. [p.495-498] Graphic, sexist dialog from an antagonist.

As per usual, the book is written as if David is the author and is recalling a story from his own life (and trying to sell the audience s**t Several characters believe the universe to be a work of fiction, though they incorrectly assume it to be a video game and the protagonists do not take them seriously. The reader is an entity in the story, but it's difficult to notice.
