Parents' Guide to Technoboys

Parents need to know that much of the humor in the Mexican satire Technoboys involves characters behaving in discriminatory ways. The film also has significant swearing, as well as alcohol and drug consumption. The main character has trouble accepting how society has changed since the 1990s, including the shifting sexual and gender orientations of his friends (one trans, one gender fluid, and a homophobic man in a wheelchair with a secret crush), the use of gender-inclusive language, and a more respectful environment in general. He's called a "toxic macho man." His past love interest is a White Mexican woman who poses as a "woman of color," claiming to be the victim of racial discrimination; she ultimately gets called out for "appropriating other people's struggles." Adults drink, sometimes to excess, smoke cigarettes and joints, take an excessive amount of "molly" at a bar (then drive and get in a car crash), and ingest ayahuasca as a group, leading to vomiting, confessions, and revelations. Language in the English subtitles includes variations on "f--k," "s--t," "ass," "bitch," "hell," "f--got," "moron," "d--k," "t-ts," "slut," and more. A man recounts a story of being horned by a bull in his anus. People vomit from drug consumption. A man kills himself, though this is staged in a way that's meant to be funny. A sex scene involves a man with his hand under a woman's skirt and suggestive talk about what's happening down there. There are jokes about a trans woman looking like a cheap sex worker ready to give a lap dance, and lots of sexual language.
