There is a dog that has an appearance in only one scene, but whether or not it dies is unknown.

Lots of suspicious descriptions of young women in general, but no one who is explicitly underage.

Kind of. Gatsby is a serial liar. Also, Nick and Jordan subtly mock Tom to his face for thinking Gatsby is a sham/criminal, despite knowing that he is.

The caretaker of a major character was an alcoholic, and would often need to rely on the latter to take care of them while they were drunk.

I feel like the death by car accident falls more under the “blood/gore” category, the description is disturbing but I wouldn’t call it excessive.

Towards the end of the book, there is a character who is clearly mentally unwell and somewhat delusional. This character ends up murdering someone.

There is a brief mention of someone committing suicide towards the beginning. Later on, it is heavily implied that a mentally unwell character committed suicide.

The book is written in a way that the protagonist knows the story is being told in a book.

Black people are referred to as "n***o" twice in the book, though it's typical for the time period and the black people in question aren't portrayed negatively.

Wolfsheim is a Jewish character who falls into many negative stereotypes.

Antisemitic character and n-word are mentioned elsewhere, but Tom also goes on a racist rant near the start. He's not portrayed positively, but nobody calls him out on it either.

No actual sex, but there are some pretty raunchy implications at times.

Someone is dead in a pool, though their cause of death is not drowning.
