Technically yes. A character who is a teenager mentions their mom abandoned them, though it's not actually shown on-screen.

!!spoiler!!

Billy's mom leaving is referenced a few times throughout the movie, and is the main motive for Billy killing people, but it's not specifically said if she left without saying goodbye

i wouldn't say it's traditionally broken but the movie is very self-aware. characters frequently talk about "what would happen if this was a movie" and at one point a character points out they're not in a movie (lmao) to which the response is "yes we are. it's all one big movie and you can't choose your genre" or something to that effect

Surprised at all the “no” answers… “Pansy” is used. From Merriam-Webster: 2a offensive : a weak or effeminate man or boy —used as a term of abuse and disparagement. b offensive : a gay man —used as a term of abuse and disparagement.

@MundaneMeow sexual Anorexia is a real diagnosis. Do some research. Also none of the things you mentioned are done. So again do some research.

Two characters interact romantically/sexually who are 25 and late 30s respectivelly. However they make a few jokes about it being older woman/younger man and the word "cougar" if you are sensitive to that

A male character weeping is played as a joke, though the other characters do not mock him for it explicitly.

the blood and gore seems to be almost(if not) entirely practical effects, so you can often see when an actor gets swapped out for a doll to kill the character - if this will make a difference in how well you'll cope with the gore.
