Arthur's father isn't in the picture, though his mother lies to him about who is father is. The same mother is mentally ill and allowed Arthur to be abused as a child. Even if she was there physically, she was a shoddy parent.

Yyyyesssss. There is a scene where Arthur/Joker smothers his mom to death with a pillow. This was after he found out just how bad his mom was to him when he was a kid (he had forgotten the radiator incident due to brain damage and mental illness). Overall, while certainly messed up and uncomfortable, you can see how he got to that point, even though it’s wrong.

There is a lot of stabbing. It’s quite gruesome. Lots of blood. Death. In particular when you see Arthur/Joker talking to his boss and his little person coworker in his house after doing his hair, it’s time to cover your eyes until you hear him talking to the little person saying something like “you always treated me well”. Yeah Joker attacked his boss with a pair of scissors, repeatedly stabbing his boss. Even if stabbing doesn’t normally bother you this probably will.

The filmmakers have confirmed that neither the mother nor her daughter were killed, and I will say that I didn't get that impression when I watched the scene, either. However, the ambiguity is definitely there.

There are complicated relationship dynamics and the audience is left uncertain to reality generally, but there is a plot that there is a possible love tryst which leads to pregnancy and the woman loses her position. Later the alleged father marries, but the original dashed woman doesn't seem to acknowledge it or even care. I certainly wouldn't call the marriage cheating, but losing one's place in society is complicated.

Ableist behavior is a focal point of the film, as characters are shown being mocking of/scared of/angry towards Arthur specifically and solely for his involuntary laughing condition. There is one scene in particular where one character asks him if it’s “actually real”, which may trigger those who are sensitive to this category. I’m astounded anyone could put ‘no’ for this one.

Portrays mentally ill people as violent. Arthur’s mental illness is depicted as part of why he becomes violent. His mother is abusive and has NPD and a delusional disorder. Black characters are all flat characters but aren’t misrepresented. Pseudo-bulbar affect is inaccurately described as a mental illness rather than a physical condition.

There are no incestuous undertones in this movie. Joker's mother is very sick, and he's taking care of her and watching over her - such as in the scene where they sleep in the same bed. This is also present in the scene where he helps her bathe. It's from a care taking, familial standpoint -- absolutely nothing sexual or romantic.
