There is a scene where a female character is pinned down and forcibly kissed. Another person comes in and helps her. It could be triggering.

01:12:15, One character runs a knife down her arm or pricks herself with a needle, I think to flush a wound? She's turned away but she winces and you can see blood running down her arm. The robots get into a knife fight in the last half hour and there's some other minor instances of slicing and dicing throughout the rest of the movie

00:43:35, 00:45:40 are the most obvious instances. Ledward is heaving and coughing for the whole scene, which lasts about 5 minutes, and Faris starts hyperventilating through parts of it.

Someone gets their foot stuck in an automatic door and is limping afterwards. But there is no visible breaking or exposed bone.
Then there is of course the "hatching" of multiple neomorphs/protomorphs out of human bodies. Although this is more ripping than breaking..

Twice, graphically. 00:46:50, 00:47:55, 00:51:00, 00:51:27. Each shot lasts 5-10 seconds, and you can see people holding them down while they thrash around.

Aliens bursting out of living people through various parts of their bodies; an alien literally taking a ginormous bite out of someone; a long dead woman (yellow, waxy) lying on a table with her entire upper body opened (having been experimented on); a rough caesarian (no anaesthesis) producing a writhing, squidlike alien monster... And, just, soooo much blood.

01:43:36 - 01:44:25, you see two people naked about to have sex. You can't see any genitals or butts, but it shows a woman's breasts for one shot, and then they're killed.

One of the major conceits of the series is essentially "what if alien life could birth from human (or other) bodies", to make an allegory to human childbirth in a way AMAB people can understand, though it is never really imitating regular human childbirth

A male crew member dies horribly, and another male crew member sits hugging the body, crying and saying "My love, my angel..." So I'd say the relationship is more than implied. But the death has nothing to do with him being gay; lots of straight people in the movie die just as horribly, and some are also grieved by their partners.
