Pretty much every agent in Project Freelancer was gaslighted in some way, with some being more obvious than others. The Reds and Blues are gaslighted into thinking their war is real, when it’s just a simulation, and begin to question everything that ever happened to them when they find out the truth. Omega and Gamma gaslight pretty much everyone they come into contact with in the Blood Gulch Chronicles.

This is iffy. Tucker is impregnated (Yes, a cis male character somehow got pregnant) without consent by an Alien, although this was done asexually, being impregnated via a parasitic embryo. So although it’s not technically sexual assault, Tucker was still intentionally impregnated without consent by an Alien. Additionally, a villain in Season 14 is stated to be wanted by police for committing rape, but the details of said crime are never specified or shown.

yes, i’m not sure why others are saying no- a freelancer’s eye is badly injured in a training accident. (no blood, but his scars are shown later and he discusses the injury.) also- not quite eye trauma but maybe uncomfortable to those upset by it- a sharp object is shoved through the helmet of a sentient robot

It never actually happens, but it is threatened in a way that is likely to be triggering.

In season 13 an overenthusiastic doctor states their intent to use electroshock therapy to "fix" another character's "split personality" which had formed due to a recent trauma.

im pretty sure everyone is mentally ill in this. But yes, a character in season 12/13 has DID and their alter is seen as comically violent, however it is mostly helpful. Also, they are fighting a war so basically everyone in this is violent at some point.

In the MIA miniseries, Caboose says Sarge and Doc’s voices sound similar (referencing the fact they are both voiced by the same person) and Chuch responds with “What can you do, casting is expensive, shut up.” Also a couple self deprecating jokes of “Who’d want to watch us? All we do is stand around and talk.” There’s a joke in Season 11 about the characters being unable to drop their guns due to the limitations of the Halo games the series is recorded in.

Caboose, a mentally disabled man, is the recepient of several jokes at his expense, and is outright called by the R word at a couple points.
Sheila calls Tucker by the R word when he can't figure out how to drive a tank.
Donut, a homosexual character, is mocked, however no slurs are directed at him.

Kaikaina Grif (aka Sister), a bisexual woman, is said in Season 7 to have been killed by Lopez, but is later revealed in Season 13 to have been a lie. Three freelancer agents, one of which is a lesbian, are abandoned by the organisation on an Ice planet, whether they died or not isn’t specified. Neither of these instances are related to or because of their sexuality in any way.

The very first conversation in the series is a character comedically misinterpreting the question “you ever wonder why we’re here?” as an existential question and going on a long existential tangent about how and why humans exist, when the person who asked was actually inquiring why their military based them in that location. This is one of the most iconic exchanges in the series and is referenced multiple times.
