** The first film presents Tripper and Roanne as a case of BelligerentSexualTension but to modern audiences, certain scenes between them come across more like Tripper sexually harassing Roxanne and not suffering any consequences for it.

** The original film famously sets up the moral "it just doesn't matter", invoked by Tripper as a semi-motivational ploy to get the kids hyped up before their competition with Mohawk -- in effect, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you had fun. However, the subsequent competition makes it very clear that the audience is expected to root for Camp North Star, not only because they're the POV characters, but because the competition invokes DownToTheLastPlay and their reputation is seemingly riding on the outcome. Worse yet, despite the Mohawk team having cheated in the past, North Star [[PayEvilUntoEvil does the same thing]] by blatantly cheating in several of the Olympiad matches, such as dropping a fish down the pants of one of the contestants (the only reason they get away with it is that no one is looking for cheating), which doesn't mesh well with Tripper's speech.

** The third film also presents a situation where a woman called the "Sex Goddess" is subjected to SlutShaming by the entire population of the nearby camp, as they're convinced that she's such a SexGod that she requires her "husband" (actually her brother, pretending to act as her husband) to protect her from a horde of suitors knocking down her door. The finale of the film has Rudy lean into this perception by not only pretending to have sex with her (in order to lead the rest of the camp into thinking he lost his virginity), but throw an intervening suitor out of a second-storey window -- the latter of whom is ''paralyzed'', no less. The woman's brother very nearly beats Rudy to death in a rage before the "Goddess" explains that she's just a regular woman (albeit, played by Shannon Tweed) who spends all her time studying... while dressed in lacy clothing, playing completely into this perception. This situation is presented as a funny and generally good thing, even though some/all of these individuals could have been charged with assault or attempted murder.
