Spiderwebs are a motif for one character, but no actual spiders appear.

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 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.

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

Two suspended bodies are discovered, and this is shown onscreen in some versions. The actual cause of death was something else.

The possibility of possession by witches is discussed, and some characters interpret certain behaviors of other characters as the result of possession. Whether or not this is what is actually happening is a spoiler.

While sometimes the characters in the narrative itself trust that the cops can fix everything, the narration says that the cops will barely do anything.

It's complicated but one character plays with the idea of holding multiple romantic relationships at once, and the character is explicitly bisexual

Not necessarily any direct slurs but there is one scene where a trans person imagines a scary hypothetical conversation with their partner that includes lines like calling them “disgusting”
1 comment | Add comment

“Predatory” is maybe the wrong word here but their transness is something of a twist and a good part of their character arc involves dysphoria and fear of their partner(s) finding about her true nature. Plus they murder people in multiple timelines so maybe in the non-sexual sense?

A character's birth name and their preferred name is a big part of the solving the mystery.

While autism is not explicitly mentioned, there is a character who displays many autistic traits and gets both verbal and physical abuse for it repeatedly throughout the series.

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".

Childbirth is discussed, but only very indirectly. Characters will discuss the circumstances under which other characters (now teenagers or adults) were born. The actual process of childbirth is not depicted or described.

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.

There's one nude scene about 25% of the way through the story. If you're playing with CGs enabled, it's visually depicted, but no genitals are visible.

Plenty of crying happens throughout the series, and while there are instances of characters being mocked for it, the type of mocking they get is the same regardless of gender.

While not explicitly dementia, one of the older characters is deemed to have outbursts of "insanity" and irrational behavior that is labeled due to his old age (akin to exaggerated dementia traits)
