The Trinity Killer. He was abused (and otherwise traumatized) as a boy. As an adult he is a ritualistic serial killer whose crimes are based on his horrific childhood.

Yes, but it probably depends on your interpretation. Spoilers for season 8.
Harry and Vogel seem to be the main culprits of this. They molded Dexter into the perfect killing machine for them to use. Because he was "beyond saving" or some bs. They convinced him he was incapable of having a family or loved ones, outside of Debra. This is probably most prominent in its effect during Dexter's visions(? I don't know what to call them) of Harry.

Two characters hit a deer while driving a van in the woods. The deer is shown and heard suffering, so one character uses his ax to end the suffering. We don’t see the ax connect with the deer, just blood on the ax after the deer is killed. Definitely skip, or mute the volume, if you don’t want to hear the cries of a hurt deer, though there is some importance to what the incident does to one of the character’s mindsets later in the episode and season.

Rita mentions the neighbor’s young, adorable, Beagle mix is barking all the time because he is neglected by being left outside all day and all night. Dexter mentions bringing him inside and feeding him, implying the neighbor neglects that too. The arrogant neighbor says the dog was abandoned by her ex, and seems to really hate the dog, too. Spoiler: the good boy finds a new loving, caring home, thanks to some sneaky dognapping from Rita.

The protagonist and many of the antagonists in season 8, however it's unclear if they are victims of medical malpractice and purposely misdiagnosed. Another main character has PTSD and can lash out violently if triggered and panicked. (Spoilers for a plot twist in s6) The main antagonist of season 6 is mentally ill, and has frequent hallucinations and delusions. His diagnosis is unclear.

Yes, most notably an important character commits suicide on screen during season 4. (Shown on screen but not graphic.) In the same season a character is brought up to have committed suicide. (Not shown, but others are forced to emulate the death.) Another requests to be killed by Dex (I can't remember the season, sorry! Shown.) Season 2 its revealed a main character had committed suicide. (Not shown) Season 6 there is both an unsuccessful terrorist attack where the character kills herself. (Shown graphically, but its accidental.) It is also mentioned a previously known character committed suicide off screen. In season 7, someone writes a suicide note to cover up for his own murder. (Shown graphic.) In season 8, a murder-suicide attempt involving the main leads also occurs. (Shown, not graphic since they survived.) It's also brought up as a possibility in many cases, as well as some others I am certainly forgetting.

Nothing indicates Dexter would be autistic. He is a sociopath. That’s why he lacks human emotions. And empathy.

Dexter’s “colleague” the other serial killer is always watching him. He always watches others. The entire show is people watching eachother from afar in a sense

Yes and no. There are occasional 'jokes' that appear to tease or demean a character (even if they are LGBT or not), but there are no slurs.

Yes, in season 7. He is also one of the major supporting characters of that season, along with his boyfriend who we find out about in a twist.
These aren't related to hate crimes, but instead, because they are parts of major criminal organizations.

Yes.
As another comment says there is uses of the r-slur. There are also cases of using psychopath, sociopath, and other things. Mostly to refer to serial killers. A main supporting character of season 8 could also be interpreted as being very ableist and abusing others due to it, despite being a psychologist.

Because it’s based in Miami the Latino cops are very exaggerated- Spanglish and fedoras and Hawaiian shirts. The African American male cop is silent and angry all the time and has anger issues. There’s stereotypes everywhere

41:30 in, Deb mocks two people she sees on video while reviewing security camera footage. No one but herself hears this.
She calls them "Mr. and Mrs. Tub-o-Lardi."

There is casual transphobia throughout the series. Masuka uses “shemale” and “he-she” often, and in season three there’s a scene with trans sex workers that’s kinda gross about it.

Dexter faces issues with his sex life at first, not wanting to have sex (this is different to not having sexual attraction) and he later starts having and enjoying sex. There is nothing wrong with this part, it’s added context, my issue is with the autistic/ASPD-coded character being ace-coded also an ace person being a murderer. It’s two tropes that Ace people “are this way” because of trauma, or that theres “something wrong with us” which is definitely how I interpreted it’s portrayal here. Autistic and neurodivergent people are also often Asexual or Ace-coded in shows, which often stereotypes us as non-sexual beings or removes us of our sexual identity and autonomy. Are some neurodivergent people ace? Yes, but my issue is it seems media only sees us this way, we can’t possibly have sexual wants or needs. This is a nuanced and complicated conversation. I personally think they threw away Dexter’s Ace coding pretty much immediately in s1.

Debra and Lundy during season 2 and 4. Actors are 30 years apart in age. The characters are between 20 and 30 years apart, possibly mentioned during an episode in season 2.

Religion (specifically christianity) is a major plot point in season 6, with the antagonists of the season being religious extremists, Dexter questions the idea of religion a lot

The protagonist's adoptive sister thinks she is in love with him. She dreams of kissing him in a scene. Not sure if it is incestuous since he is adopted, but it is still kind of weird.

Honestly most of the premise. Dexter is the blood guy, after all, so we get a ton of it.
