while there are several instances of gaslighting and similar manipulation tactics throughout the show, the most upsetting instance is in the first episode. a character is shamed by a group of people for having been raped as a young teenager. This scene mainly consists of the repeating phrases "her fault!" and "lead them on!" while this isn't exactly gaslighting, it is extremely distressing and definitely something to be aware of.

The pig and it is after 30min mark. More 30m45sec mark, I should know as I didn't miss ot because of the other comment. You don't see it but your hear the gun fire and a slight yelp from the pig. Horrid, actually. They were in petting it moments before. Just skip from 30m to 31 and you will miss it.

In Season 2 Episode 10 there is a violent and aggressive rape scene that goes beyond the normalized “ritualistic” rape scenes we’ve had thus far. I won’t spoil who it’s between, but I just needed that to be added here because I didn’t see it yet.

There are many instances of mouths being covered during sexual assault scenes, as well as very graphic shots of women with their mouths stapled shut in the 3rd season. Their mouths are covered by red face masks (look like Covid masks) and they do reveal their brutalization in a very shocking sudden way.

In the first episode, we see someone hanging on a wall with a pink triangle on them, whilst Offred narrates them as gay. Later, a lesbian is referred to as a 'gender traitor' and her lover is put to death.

Gilead is shown to use violence against those who don't conform to their ways, but the groups themselves are not depicted in a negative way. Gilead is clearly the oppressor.

Unlike what the other comment said, Offred's original husband doesn't die in the first episode (though it is hinted, it is later revealed he didn't die). Black people do die in the series though, but not the first death.

There are Jews hung on "the wall" a place where they hang the dead bodies of the undesirables with bags over their heads indicating what kind they were. Some have the star of david.

just for better understanding; certain figures' speeches include misogyny and homophobia, but it is not affirmative or uncommented.

Technically no, but since the religious themes are so prominent and shown so aggressively, we frequently hear about “bad people” and Hell is implied as a punishment. Some characters state that Hell would be better than living in Gilead.

So glad there's finally a religious trigger!
This show is based around extreme fundamentalist religion and beliefs. There are recitations of specific bible verses as well as Bible stories.

Every single episode has Sexual assault shown and or mentioned. There are no rights for women/pregnancy in this series. Its exhuasting and would be triggering to most people especially rightnow in the US with roe v wade.

Not as such, to my memory, but a traditional concept of manliness is enforced within the dystopian society depicted. Emotionality in men, though never explicitly mentioned, is pretty obviously discouraged in Gilead.

There are explosions, but they are caused by either handmade bombs or military, non-nuclear air strikes. The Colonies is a stretch of land in what was the Midwest that is contaminated with radioactive waste, but whether this waste is from war or industry has not been stated.
