The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or explorations of non-heteronormative identities. The social landscape focuses on a traditional supernatural community without queer coding.

The titular character subverts gendered archetypes by acting as a nurturing, high-agency authority figure. She disrupts the trope of the frightening matriarch through her benevolence.

The cast consists primarily of anthropomorphic monsters and ghosts. The film does not use these non-human species to engage with human racial or ethnic hierarchies.

The narrative focuses on seasonal traditions and social cohesion. It avoids critiques of Western institutions, favoring a pro-social, community-oriented framework instead.

There are no discernible depictions of physical, sensory, or neurodivergent disabilities. The supernatural nature of the characters precludes a standard assessment of human disability.
