No actual minors but a freshly 18 year old is sexualised by the 30 year old protagonist. And in a somnium, the protagonist says he wants to get Aiba to (sexually) touch a character (from 18 years ago), but Aiba says she might've been a minor from then. This is false though, if you actually calculate her age from that time, she would've been 19. Nothing else though i think

Depends on if you count neurodivergent and mentally ill people. (Spoilers) The main villain has hypopituitarism and cannot secrete oxytocin as a result. He's a stereotypical violent mentally ill person and it's directly implied that it's because of his hormonal issues.

While likely born of ignorance to the deeper implications rather than intentional antisemitism, one character expresses a conspiracy theory involving secret global organizations. This involves the usual beats, such as mentions of world governments, satanism, "freemasons", and "rothschilds". [Spoilers] This plot eventually goes nowhere, even in the route where the protagonist believes it, however an actual organization bearing the same name appear in the sequel.

Not really; one character pressures another to have an abortion, but it isn't really commented on one way or another.

Multiple "endings" are possible, some may be less than happy. However the game is very flexible in letting the player bounce back until they get an ending they want.

Characters are killed in graphic ways on screen, one of which notably is played over and over again on the screen as it was a recording. That said, there are copious amounts of blood.
