- Accidental Innuendo: As pointed out by Red of Overly Sarcastic Productions, the peasant girl asking for a whip (among other things) to be brought to her when she's heading to her new husband's chambers conjures some very interesting implications that likely wouldn't have even been considered back when the tale was first written.
- Trans Audience Interpretation: Some versions of the story have the witch tell the queen that eating the magical red rose will give her a son while eating the white rose will give her a daughter, warning her not to eat both. The queen eats the white rose first, and finds it so delicious that she eats the red rose too. This results in her firstborn child being a dragon and her second child being a male human. After eating two princesses, the dragon's curse is broken by a plucky maiden (with some help from the witch), it is transformed into a fully-human prince, and they get married and live happily ever after. However, some — such as Overly Sarcastic Productions' synopsis
— have noted that given the specifications of the spell the dragon should be female, which in turn has led be some considering the dragon-prince to be trans.
