Freakshow

The film does not include characters with non-binary gender identities or narratives that question the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender. It follows a traditional storyline without giving queer characters a significant role in driving the plot.

The film portrays typical gender roles without challenging traditional hierarchies. There is no depiction of female dominance or the portrayal of masculinity as weak or ineffective.

The cast does not reflect a non-white or non-Anglo-Saxon majority. Depictions of 'othered' individuals likely emphasize physical differences rather than meaningful roles reflecting racial diversity.

The carnival setting serves as a microcosm of traditional social structures. The film focuses on traditional horror themes without presenting anti-capitalist or secularist narratives.

The film relies on 'freakshow' clichés that risk using disability as a spectacle. Characters lack evidence of neurodivergent or physical autonomy.
