In episode one, when the crew is planetside in the busy port area, the camera focuses on a hand-printed sign saying "GOOD DOGS", above partially obscured kennel crates, with people grilling chunks of meat. It is strongly implied this is dog meat.

In The Message, at 24:30 a little after Simon (the doctor) says “can you bring that pan please?” it happens. It’s a close shot of the person bending into the pan to v*, but you can’t se any actual v*, only audio.
SPOILERS: if you mute and look away, the only info you learn is that he was told he’d be out for about a week and that they say he wouldn’t dream, but he dreamt of his family.

Difficult to untangle what’s from PTSD and brain damage but some flashbacks indicate that River was extremely blunt and didn’t pick up on social queues even before the experiments. Regardless, River exhibits behaviors that are similar to autism and she is verbally and physically abused multiple times throughout the series.

There's a lot of gunshots throughout the show. It often comes out of nowhere with no warning. The first episode starts with quite a loud explosion with not a seconds warning. Definitely be prepared for things like this.

It doesn't come up much but the word used for "gay" in this world is "sly", it's only used once that I recall and it didn't feel disrespectful.
Jayne's a bit creepy about witnessing an encounter between two women, but not abusive.

Yes, and it's pretty typical too. Mal disguises himself with old timey women's clothing. He's annoyed because dress. His friends make fun of him because bwahahaha man in a dress. Mal delivers the popular line: "I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will END you!"

There's a lot of very misogynistic speech. Heart of Gold is probably the worst, but it's unfortunately common in this world it seems.
There's also language used about both the Alliance and the Browncoats that would be considered hate speech if they were real groups in our world.

In episode 7, Jaynestown, there are graphic mentions of amputation (of the hands and feet) followed by being rolled into a bog as the punishment for a background character's crimes.
Although it is not explicitly said that said character was buried alive, the above information strongly implies it.
However, none of this is ever shown on screen, only briefly discussed by the main characters for one scene.
