When Anita goes to the shop to try to find Tony, the Jets surround her, start pulling her clothes off, and generally shoving her around. They are interrupted before she is seriously harmed, but it's an alarming scene to watch

There's a scene where the gang of boys assault a girl of color and at times its borderline sexual, bot nothing is shown, it's mainly shoving, pushing, pulling, etc. They grab her and shove her around, push her, keep her from leaving, crowd around her, and use her head wrap to keep her from moving

A "tomboy" tries to join the Jets but is treated like a girl all the time. This character is not officially trans male but his dealing with misgendering is close to what can happen to trans folks

Tony (the lead) is shot and killed at the end of the movie, plus many scenes contain careless handling of a gun.
