No but in a background scene we see a crossed out image of an anthropomorphic dog that has presumably abstracted (this story's nightmare version of death).

Jax is violent towards people he lives with. Because they're not family, it isn't a typical DV situation but could provoke the same feelings.

A very brief line by Pomni ("He just wants me to suffer") may mean Caine, but could also be interpreted as her remembering an abusive ex-boyfriend. However, it's neither confirmed or denied as of Episode 5.

Rape isn't mentioned but there is a scene that could be interpreted as a metaphor for raping someone on a date. It's the one where Jax takes Caine out for lunch or dinner. There isn't any nudity, graphic content or anything in the show supporting this interpretation but its structure and context is very similar to date-rape. Quick warning because its narration is VERY similar, here it is. Jax pretends to Caine that he wants to be friends. Caine is overjoyed and agrees. Jax asks him a question that makes him glitch and akin to being unconscious or in a ''high'' state. Jax digs into Caine's throat to grab the key that's in his throat. Caine wakes up during this and asks him what he's doing.

The characters are trapped in bodies that are not their own. Characters are unable to die leading to GBH happening quite casually. Characters can "abstract" which involves a frightening and involuntary transformation.

Kinda. The "training" Jax undergoes restrains him and forces him to watch an unsettling video. Jax generally reacts to the extreme monotony of the fast food shift as if he's being tortured.

Zooble expresses a dislike for their digital body as they're never satisfied with how they look. This is implied to be one of the reasons they refuse to go on adventures with the other players. With them being uncertain of their gender identity and canonically using any pronouns, it could be interpreted as dysphoria as well.
