Kind of. Some people go to find other people, and they call it stalking as a joke, but it’s not actually.

No, but when a character is experiencing psychedelic effects, he hallucinates a toad choking him.

At one point, two people slam their faces up against a window unexpectedly with crappy monkey masks. However, they are not bad.

Not exactly, but there are insensitive comments that are transphobic.

A character discusses his father's use of the f-slur in passing, but there is no aggression in his use of the word. In a flashback, a character is bullied by his peers and they use the f-slur multiple times in a mocking and aggressive manner.

A character teases another by calling him "Special ED" at one point, but there is no malicious intent. When a character submits an essay about his experience with an autistic child to college, his father says "That's good, autism's good," and the other, calling out his father's insensitive word choice, sarcastically says "Yeah, it's a good thing we have autistic people to help us get into college." Don't know if it counts but better safe than sorry, as it certainly rubbed me the wrong way. There are variants of the r-slur used throughout the movie. There is no ableist language or behavior used toward anyone who is actually disabled.

The f-slur is used multiple times, sometimes in an aggressive manner. A character is repeatedly extremely ignorant and dismissive of bi people, trans people, pan people, and just queer people in general. At one point a character dismisses polyamory as "some new thing kids at our school are trying." There is some ableist language used, but not in an aggressive manner, which I commented on under that section.

YES. Sex is central to the plot. Graphic sexual language is used. There are two (attempted) sex scenes that are both incredibly awkward and uncomfortable and end poorly.

no one drowns but there is a part where the main character is underwater in a pool for an extended period of time when he is semiconscious and having flashbacks. it could be anxiety inducing or triggering for some. then he gets out of the pool and is not harmed.
