Traditional
Primary

The movie features a predominantly white cast in traditional roles without explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on individual psychological dynamics and power struggles, rather than critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Basic Instinct 2 features a central bisexual character, Catherine Tramell, whose sexual identity is primarily depicted as a tool for manipulation and a characteristic of her dangerous, amoral nature. The film reinforces negative stereotypes by linking bisexuality with villainy and deception, offering no affirming or counterbalancing portrayals of LGBTQ+ individuals or relationships.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
