honestly all through seasons 1-4 but it gets excessive for like the first half of season 7 where there’s a redicuolous amount of sex talk and sexualisation of the characters who are juniors (i beleive) in season 7. the show is notorious for sexualising minor characters (but there like no sexualisation really when they are adults just when they’re teens)

Queer people and drag queens are misrepresented. Kevin’s only trait is being the “soft gay guy” stereotype. The show is known for queerbaiting with scenes of Betty and Veronica kissing but no acknowledgement of their feelings for each other. They also do the same thing with Joaquin and Archie. An asexual character is straightwashed.
