Sex

Contains a frank but undetailed sex scene, sexual references that occur occasionally, sexual jokes and anecdotes of the locker room variety.

Sexual Violence

Presented inexplicitly, but in a rather extended manner. The tone is vengeful.

Offensive language

Highly offensive language is often used aggressively, to undercut, hurt, and insult others.
