It's not onscreen long, but in "The Circus", Paimon shows Stolas a photo of young Stella. She's violently strangling a small dog-looking creature while a second one looks on tearfully.

Blitzo gives Loona a present that explodes into a bunch of spiders with the comment of "you love spiders". Loona is less than impressed. Spiders crawl all over her and one bounces from a thread off her nose.

Moxxie gets bitten by a shark a few times, and in S2: E3, there seems to be a species of shark-like demons which appear prominently throughout the episode.

In season 1's "Exes and Ooohs", we meet Moxxie's father, Crimson--throughout the episode he is physically and mentally abusive to Moxxie, and flashbacks prove he's been the same way since Moxxie was small.

In the season 2 premiere, "The Circus," Stolas' father Paimon forces him into an arranged marriage with the shrewish Stella and is implied to be supremely neglectful. We also meet Blitzø's father Cash Buckzo, who not only sells Blitzø to Paimon for literal pocket change but then goes on to demand the child steal as much as he can carry out of the house.

Moxxie's father was implied to be severely abusive to his wife in the past--contrarily, Moxxie dotes on his wife Millie, and the relationship is amazingly respectful and healthy.

In S1: E5, Striker tries to choke Moxxie to death. He almost succeeds, but is interrupted. He tries to do it again in S2: E4, but fails again, and the act itself is far less intense than in the previous attempt.

S1:E2 | A character vomits into a bucket at the 8:00 mark. No vomit is shown, but retching can be heard.

S1:E3 | A background character vomits on screen at around the 8:50 mark. This is in a cartoon-ish manner, but is complete with audio and the subsequent shots show said character in a pool of his vomit.

S1:E4 | A character vomits at the 6:27 mark. Her cheeks puff out as she retches, but the camera cuts away as she actually vomits. There are graphic sound effects and the puddle of vomit can be seen on the floor in the subsequent shot.

The O Blitzø's name is silent (I'm guessing he changed it because he doesn't want to be associated with the circus he grew up in), but people constantly disregard this, usually on purpose just to upset him. I'm not sure if this counts as deadnaming, but I'll put it here just to be safe.

In episode 3 (I think), IMP kills a bunch of humans. The humans are seen behaving in a sexual/romantic manner with others, including straight, gay and polyamorous relationships. Some humans are also shown with top surgery scars. None of them are specifically targeted due to this, though.

It depends on whether you consider it a joke or not, Blitzo and Moxxie wear a dress in the episode for a brief amount of time but it isn't really the butt of the joke

The show's dark sense of humor includes ableist jokes - the word "retarded" is used as an insult.

In the pilot, when Moxxie asks Loona why he's being faxed a weight loss ad, she only responds with "C'mon, you know why."

She also calls Moxxie a "fatso" in episode 4.

There is so much sexual content. Every episode has some form of sexual joke, punchline or scene. If this is a sensitive topic for you, it is best you avoid this show altogether.

In s2 e3 a character drowns on screen, it’s part of a larger flashback scene involving several other deaths and a lot of abuse/manipulation. It was triggering to me and it’s not even something I’m generally triggered by starts at around 13:20 at about 13:57 (the drowning part, the flashback starts at 12:30ish)
The scene is not super important, and mostly is just to demonstrate that moxies dad is abusive

The show centers around demons killing humans for a living, and as such, a lot of the deaths are very graphic and violent.
