Some may consider it torture:

A character is tied up for days with a hood over their head at times. They complain of difficulties breathing, are pistol-whipped, and told they will be executed if the captors don't get what they want.

Anti-Irish slurs are used by British characters; a black character uses the N word describing his experiences with racism in Ireland.
