Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, primarily through its critique of unchecked technological power and its focus on the violation of bodily autonomy and individual rights by a controlling artificial intelligence.
The movie features traditional casting with no apparent intentional race or gender swaps for DEI purposes. The narrative focuses on themes of artificial intelligence and control, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities such as white or male in a DEI context.
Secondary
Demon Seed (1977) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's plot centers on a heterosexual couple and a supercomputer's reproductive agenda, leaving no room for LGBTQ+ representation. Therefore, the net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal is N/A.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
