Does an abused person forgive their abuser?

SiRenfield
Okay I love this series but…dear god, at one point a character is forgiven for R*PING HIS DAUGHTER which they dismiss as just a moment of insanity. If there’s any solace this was in Episode 7 which from an anti-fantasy perspective didn’t really happen so it’s more likely a coping mechanism on the part of his incest child

A character is not only sexually assaulted, but it's incestuous involving a parent to be more specific. The only solace is that we don't actually see it on-screen

A woman gets slapped in retribution for her making light of the torture and deaths of two other characters; arguably a cathartic moment in context, but still worthy of a warning.

Many characters commit violent acts. In some cases it is embedded in a context of the character's trauma and experiences of abuse. However, the story does not perpetuate the trope of "crazy people are randomly violent"

It is a major theme in one of the later arcs. (well, moreso gender dysphoria, however the character talks a lot about their dislike of their body, so it definitely could be a potential trigger)

There's an autistic child, and a suicidal character struggling with body dysmorphia, and an adult with imaginary friends that she can see and hear. Whether any of these qualify as mental illness depends on how you define "mental illness".

Your mileage may vary on if you think the Culprit being trans is problematic since the nature of their gender is presented as a shocking twist and plays into their motivation ,but on the other hand is treated rather sympathetically and from a certain view is not even a villain

Closely tied to the child abuse warning- a child who is clearly neurodivergent (no actual labels are given, but most likely autistic) is severely abused in ways that often center on her not being "normal" enough.

Not in terms of how large the age gap is but the context, since George started dating Shannon when she was 13-14 and George was 20 [SPOILERS] Now later it's later revealed that Shannon was 19 during the present day (and 16 when they started dating) due to being three years older than thought due to forged documents which would be legal in some countries ,buuuut in Japan the age of consent was 20 in 1986 so it's still kind of sus....not to mention the twist also reveals something else that makes the coupling more problematic

No sex is directly depicted. However, there are two very sexually charged scenes - scenes which would be fair to describe as metaphors for sex - which are played for horror. Lesser sexual content is more common: for example, sexually provocative dialogue, and one character groping another.
