The film lacks explicit depictions of LGBTQ+ identities or romantic pairings. While the surrealist characters allow for identity fluidity, there is no intentional queer narrative architecture present.

Gender hierarchies are disrupted by stripping characters of conventional social roles. Ritualistic behaviors by female-coded characters like Suzie and Jane feel fragmented rather than reinforcing traditional domesticity.

The use of humanoid rabbit figures avoids human racial categories entirely. This creates a vacuum of identity that neither celebrates diversity nor reinforces specific racial hierarchies.

Lynch subverts Western institutional norms by prioritizing dream-logic over social order. The film critiques modern existence by rendering religion, capitalism, and organized authority as nonsensical or absent.

Themes of psychological fragmentation and depressive daily life mirror neurodivergence. However, these elements function as atmospheric textures rather than intentional, character-driven representations of disability.
