Sorta. In the very first episode, after Lindsay, a 16 year old character, is introduced, Chris, who is an adult, says "not to shabby". The age of consent in Canada, where the show takes place, is 16, but Chris' birthday is in November of 1978, and the show first aired in July of 2007, which would make him 28. There is still an age gap of over 5 years, so yeah, there is pedophilia in Total Drama.

Lewd comments directed towards characters, particularly female characters, aren't uncommon. Chris sometimes flirts with Lindsay who is underage. Sierra harasses Cody throughout season 3, such as giving him unprompted foot massages and kissing him against his will, and he is clearly traumatized by her at points.

Near the end of the first season there is a challenge where Heather has to shave her head. It goes wrong and all of Heathers hair is shaved off. She remains bald for the rest of the season. In season 2, she wears a wig but it frequently falls off or is lost and her still bald head is visible. When Season 3 starts, her hair has grown back.

In one of the first episodes from the first season, the challenge was that each character had to endure their worst fear. Which for one of them was being burried alive. Not only we can see her panic but she also gets forgotten and stuck inside for a while

a pretty common joke is that chef (a very masculine, threatening, and dangerous black man, which is not a great look already) wears dresses sometimes. whether it was his or chris' choice depends on the instance, though. this joke is most prevalent in action, so if that's an issue skip that season.

Every character is a parody of a TV stereotype such as the manipulative bitch who brings almost all the conflict, the sassy black woman, the nerdy guy who tries to act cool but makes himself look like more of a loser, the hot guy who does nothing but flex etc. None of said stereotypes cross the line to offensiveness and there are no stereotypes of LGBT people period.
