A main character throws an object in anger when it is revealed that his partner didn't carry out one of his instructions. It is an act of domestic violence and could be very upsetting for some viewers. The failure to complete the instruction drives the plot in a certain direction and no further incidents of domestic violence follow.

Animal heads mounted on a wall. Briefly seen, not the focus of the scene.

The man is attracted to men. Whether or not he is also attracted to women or other genders is entirely irrelevant. Gay and straight are not the only sexualities, so I’m not sure why this is even being discussed. Anyway, it’s a rape scene, and the kind that is played for laughs/shock value because a man is being raped. While it is satisfying to see the rapist get murdered it is unsatisfying that it is a harmful portrayal of the queer community and the kink community along with also playing up male rape victims as something funny.

The most graphic example is a man in a leather suit who rapes other men in a dungeon of sorts, but it's also worth noting there's another scene where a character performs oral on his girlfriend. Not explicitly depicted, but implied as his head lowers offscreen towards her bottom half. Another character also mentions her tongue piercing "helps with f******o"
