one of the characters like really sucks and sucks even more when he gets possessed but he “sacrifices” himself after one of the main characters exposes his old memories. they kinda like gloss over how awful he was for the whole season and his sister who he abuses for a lot of the show like forgives him for like everything for whatever reason. even for literally trying to kill her boyfriend

SEASON 4 SPIDER WARNINGS - (tried to be as vague as possible but potential spoilers)
time stamps are as close as I could get them and this is hopefully all of them but I apologize if I missed one!
Episode 1-
- 46:43- 46:53 character is in the woods and sees a grandfather clock and as they are walking towards it you see a swarm or spiders come out of the clock and through the glass. Once you hear them bump into another character and they ask if their okay you can look.
- 1:10:48-1:10:59 character is running away and sees a table covered with flies and spiders, when you hear the buzzing of flies look away. Very brief but gross.
Episode 2-
- 1:09:17-1:09:30 character falls into open grave and spiders come out of a skull he sees when he turns his head; very brief only 5ish spiders
- 1:11:40 you hear spider/bug sounds but don’t see any and it’s more just creepy crawly sounds not spider specific
Episode 3-
- Clear of spiders:)
Episode 4-
- 52:58- 53:12 character tries to turn on faucet for a bath and the water doesn’t come on, instead it pans over to the drain where a swarm or spiders come out of it. You see them once then it shows the character then you see them again, after the character runs down stairs you don’t see it again. They go back to the Tub and it’s just water.
- 54:27-54:41 character walks up to attic and looks around, not until he looks up do you see a single spider from the ceiling. When you hear “it had cursed out town” you can look.
- 1:09:38- 1:09:52 character is walking and you see all these small spider egg sacks and they step on one and as they lift their foot you hear and see a million baby spiders come out of it. It’s shows it twice. When you hear “come back to me” you can look. Though your can hear creepy crawly stuff through the scene but not spider specific sounds.
Episode 5-
- 49:40-50:11 no spiders but spider webs
- 50:39- character reaches their hand into a air vent (with webs in it) and pulls out a glass jar with a dead spider in it and looks at it for a while. While doing so this character has a spider crawling up their arm which they don’t notice at first but when they do their scream and shake it off and drop the jar with the dead one in it which you see for a split second. Safe when you hear Nancy say “what’s wrong?” You see webs in the characters hair but no spiders
Episode 6-
- Spider free:)
Episode 7-
- 22:43-23:10 a character goes into a room and opens a floor vent and sticks their hand inside and a spider crawls up his arm and he looks at it for a while. When you hear “more than that” you’re good to look.
- 1:23:28- 1:23:46 look away at “gods of our world” you see the character looking a spiders in a jar then you see them drawing a spider then it shows the jar spider again. When you hear “but the human world was disrupting this harmony” you can look.
>>> hope this helps! See you all for volume 2!!

The teenage lifeguard is 18 in season 3 when he is flirted with (although this has been established as canon outside of the show and I don't think is mentioned onscreen). So not pedophilia, but a big age gap.

At the second to last episode of Season two, Bob Newby, boyfriend to Joyce Byers gets eaten by the demogorgons and since the way the teeth on a demogorgon is, there is a scene where Bob's chest is covered in holes, but you can only see half his chest, but it is still incredibly disturbing for me.

spoiler:
in season 4 when the vecna kills people, you can hear their bones breaking. you can also see it. in my opinion, it’s not that bad because it looks and sounds fake but it could be triggering to some. also, there is a lot of squishing sounds bc of the demogorgon things in the upside down. but that’s it for season 4

[SPOILER WARNING] Season 3, a character destroys his childhood fort. It is shown throughout the seasons to have been one of his favorite places, and it was a sad scene to watch if you ask me. It wasn't priceless in money value, but was very much important emotionally. I guess it depends what you meant by that question.

It’s not confirmed or stated, but Robin is heavily implied to be autistic (she struggles with social cues, has “no filter”, is sensitive to loud noises and uncomfortable clothing, and took longer to learn to walk than average as a child), and I consider her to be good representation. It’s rare to see an adult autistic woman who’s funny, confident, and capable in a TV show.

One f-word in each of the first two seasons, the first one also has many uses of fairy and queer by the evil kids because they think Will is gay. Arguably the worst instance is in episode four or five when they talk about Will “going to fairyland with all the other fairies” when it’s believed he has died.

Karen Wheeler and other women who look to be late 30s(maybe early 40s) have an interest towards Billy, who I believe is 19, in season 3. Billy asks out Karen for "swimming lessons" which she at first accepts but then changes her mind. Sure he is above 18 but still a pretty big maturity difference.

Billy had toxic masculinity forced on him after his parents divorced and his father verbally abuses him for crying. Jonathan details a time where he cried after his dad shot a rabbit, it’s not confirmed if he was ridiculed over it but it’s an easy inference to make and there’s talk of the dad being insensitive to Will’s emotions. El is ridiculed for crying but she's a girl and eventually kicks the ass of the main bully anyways.
