The story lacks explicit depictions of LGBTQ+ characters or narratives. It does not center on non-cisnormative identities or same-sex intimacy, focusing instead on the crew's survival.

The narrative is predominantly male-centric, concentrating agency within the established male protagonists. While female characters appear in the new civilization, they do not serve as primary plot drivers.

A diverse primary cast, including Danny John-Jules, provides non-white perspectives. The film uses non-human species as metaphors to explore themes of otherness and tribalism.

The film subverts religious structures by portraying a civilization that worships Lister as a deity. This absurdist approach serves as a critique of organized belief systems.

No characters with visible or invisible disabilities are central to the arc. The android Kryten represents non-biological existence, but this follows standard sci-fi tropes rather than nuanced disability exploration.
