18 WTF Moments From Sausage Party

3. The Fruits

Sausage Party WTF
Columbia Pictures

As with the accusations of casual racism (or at least passive reinforcement of dangerous stereotypes), Sausage Party goes from being proactive and progressive about sexuality (anyone can be attracted to anyone and there are LGBT characters) to being a bit worrying.

Twink is a little bit of a stereotypical "camp" character who some would definitely call cliched (and possibly homophobic), but the brief introduction of a dance-fighting troupe of "fruits" at the end is wildly at odds with the more positive messages elsewhere.

Was it necessary for such a disposable (and unfunny) gag? Probably not.
