Yes, several children. One character is abused by her alcoholic mother. Another knew her uncle had sexual thoughts about her because she could read his mind.

In the season 1 finale, the guy who killed all the innocent women throughout the season kicks a dog in a graveyard fight and it yelps in pain.
If you just disassociate for a second it's fine because SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS the dog transforms back into a human after that one kick/yelp.

Sookie’s pet cat is killed offscreen but yes, we definitely see its bloody little body hung up in the chandelier. Sookie screams in horror, as anyone with a pet cat would. Also, the poor kitty is shown decapitated and Sookie tells someone later that whoever murdered her cat took the cat’s head with them (fortunately, the head doesn’t show up after that). I was watching the series as it aired so no warning, and that moment really upset me (as one our kittens at the time looked like the cat).

Very often, jokes, conversations, threats, accusations, serious talks and plotlines, but overall I would say rape is downplayed as a concept. Sookie even says casually “I was almost raped in Texas but this is worse” about people wrecking her house

S2: Bill is basically raped by his Maker, Lorena. He cant go against her orders and she holds him captive.
S3: Jason is drugged and raped repeatedly while tied to a bed while people watch.
S2: One of the antagonists holds parties that she turns into orgies that double as a ceremony to honour her god, it can be argued that her influence over the participants makes the sex they have fall into the category of rape since none of them remember it afterwards. One of the victims of this has a conversation with a friend the next day where she says that she’s worried she date-raped the man she’s been seeing since she can’t remember anything past the point where she blacked out.

There is not. Ignore that terribly-written statement starting with “maybe”, I actually grew up with body dysmorphia and still get that way as an adult. I know body dysmorphia, I live it, and someone becoming a vampire is not it. Furthermore, people look almost exactly the same after they become a vampire, other than growing fangs (which I think was the statement the silly other comment was trying to make). It will not trigger anyone with body dysmorphia, since nothing close to it occurs in any episode.
