As the article mentions, the word has non-sexual meanings too.

Not in our culture. It means sexual perversion.

Limited literacy is not a culture.

Words evolve always. Every word we use has a history and etymology - and many have changed meanings to the complete opposite. Not using archaic definitions isn't limited literacy, it's understanding that language isn't set in stone. Being obtuse to obfuscate the meaning of kink, that is only used in our culture, makes it seem like you're trying to downplay what kink is - makes me think you have an embarrassing hard drive.

So what's the non sexual meaning such he could have meant in this context?

Merriam-Webster dictionary lists six definitions for the word “kink,” most of which refer to various imperfections, peculiarities, or bodily cramps. Though one entry defines a “kink” as an “unconventional sexual taste or behavior,” to be fair to Morris, his intended definition was likely “a clever unusual way of doing something.”

In the review, Morris explains that he believes the film was overly concerned with checking diversity boxes and tiptoed around potentially offensive material. As a result, he argues, the film fell flat on its face, providing the audience with no sense of creativity or fun.

Yeah, this movie needs more bodily cramps!

That's not what I asked.

In his sentence no other definition makes sense.

If he'd said " they ironed out every kink" that would make sense. But he didn't.

It makes perfect sense, it's right there, reading comprehension is clearly not your strong point.
