The film is a clear satire that explicitly critiques the dangers of fascism, unchecked militarism, and state-sponsored propaganda, presenting a dystopian society that superficially glorifies war while exposing its inherent brutality and moral bankruptcy.
The film features a visibly diverse cast for its era, though without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative offers a satirical critique of a militaristic society, but this critique is directed at the system and its ideology rather than explicitly targeting traditional identities based on race or gender.
Starship Troopers does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While it explores themes of societal norms and military culture through elements like co-ed showers, these elements do not directly address or portray LGBTQ+ identities, resulting in no net impact on this front.
Female characters like Dizzy Flores and Carmen Ibanez participate in combat, primarily against alien Arachnids. Their victories are achieved through firearms, explosives, or piloting starships. There are no instances where a female character defeats one or more male human or humanoid opponents in close-quarters physical combat.
