One major character is neglected by her parents, on account of them thinking of her as a replacement for her deceased sister. Another main character is implied to have been abandoned. The three teenage main characters live without any guardians or help from adults, and have lived this way for years. In episode 14 we see physical child abuse by the girl's father. In episode 18 we see another child suffer emotional abuse from his mother. And in episode 20 we see the child broiler where children are put in cages, starved, and then sent to die.

One character stalks her teacher, to the extent that she sticks a recorder in his room and sleeps under his house below his bedroom and listens to him sleep. Yes, there is stalking, and it's very graphic and disturbing.

There's some slapstick comedy with the penguins, but no intentional abuse

One character stalks her teacher, and in episode 8 she drugs him and attempts to rape him while he's asleep. She's stopped by another character before the action is done.
This same female character is unknowingly kidnapped, tied up, and nearly raped by another woman in episode 14.

Not necessarily, but in one scene someone's hand is mutilated because they attempted to prevent themselves and one other from falling to death by wrapping a wire around their hand and hanging from it.

In the last episode one character almost burns to death because of a certain object she refused to let go of. Another character takes the object from her and burns to death in her stead. It's not graphic, but it still happens.

In episode 20 there is something called a "child broiler," where unwanted children are sent to "dissapear," in other words, die. Hoards of children are shown succumbing to their fate in the child broiler, though they look like gray cardboard cut outs and is not graphic at all. It's still incredibly tragic.

Kind of, the comment was made by someone who was lesbian (or bi) herself, and was saying it to degrade and manipulate the other woman into staying with her.

One of the main characters falls in love with his sister, he even kisses her while she's unconscious.
SPOILER:
We later learn that they are not actually siblings by blood, but were adopted into the same family (but still). Also this same male character is kissed and confessed to by a woman that we learn is his real biological sister, so yes, incest.
