Not an actual literal rape but a scene that strongly parallels rape is shown fully onscreen.

During the parade scene, characters dressed in high school uniforms lift their skirts for men with cellphone heads to take pictures of their underwear.

Alcohol is consumed, but no reference is noticeably made to abuse of it, besides characters going to a bar.

Very briefly, during the intro and later during flashback(s) to what takes place in it, but it is not violent and only visual in nature.

the fatphobic content in this film is complicated, because there are a lot of literal and implicit jokes made about a character's fatness, but he is also, at times, shown as a character deserving of kindness and care
it's still mostly a fatphobic representation, but not without noteworthy interruptions

MAJOR SPOILERS: The main antagonist of the film is a disabled man (wheelchair user), whose motivation is to regain "freedom" of his own body and control his movements. He tries to achieve this through controlling the dream-world where he is free to do anything he wishes. Depending on the viewer, this may read as an ableist depiction of disabled people as preoccupied with their own disability to the point of wanting to harm others.
