There are a few parent characters who are clearly abusive to their children, such as in season 1 (without too much spoilery details) a man forces his kids to learn bloodbending in a flashback, being very harsh on one of them for not being very good and yelling when he doesn’t want to bloodbend animals.

Pretty much all of the seasons include heavy gaslighting. Korra's character arc involves a lot of struggles with choosing sides and most of the villains in the show are clever manipulators.

In the episode "skeletons in the closet" S1E11, in a flashback, Noatok and Tarlok bloodbend animals in a way that looks and I'd described as being very painful.

Pretty much 99.9% of the time someone is captured they are restrained in some way. Sometimes the police will wrap metal cords around the person, or it can be as severe as tightly imprisoning Korra in a straightjacket type thing where she can’t bend

Sort of? Eska is romantically into Bolin and basically forces him into an unofficial relationship. Eska's obsession and "crazy girlfriend" act are often used as visual gags. Though not sexual in nature, it's clearly an abusive relationship.

A father dies, but he was an antagonist and his daughters were distraught, but content with his death. Another father dies after a short redemption arc where his daughter reconnects with him after his crimes. He sacrifices himself and his daughter is very distraught. Also a few off-screen deaths that all happened before the events of the show.

The past Avatars can interact with Korra, but they're more like friendly spirits rather than ghosts. And in Book 4, Korra hallucinates and sees herself (what she looked like at the climax of Book 3) in the Avatar state.

Two major protagonists (Lin Beifong and Mako) are members of the police and consistently portrayed as heroic. The metalbending police force is consistently portrayed in a positive light. As police chief, Toph Beifong covers up her daughter Suyin's involvement in gangs. Despite the fact that Suyin inflicts a permanent scar on Lin for trying to stop a robbery, Lin is victim blamed in the narrative by "not getting over it" (worth noting that neither Toph nor Suyin even offer an apology for this act of blatant corruption)

Zaheer condemns Aiwei, an LGBTQ person, to the Fog of Lost Souls. Since souls can spend eternity there and a physical body dies if a spirit is separated for too long, he is as good as dead. However, Aiwei's LGBTQ status was confirmed by the creators offscreen but not actually mentioned in the show. Also, Unavaatu destroys all past Avatar lives, which includes Kyoshi, a bisexual woman. It's worth noting that neither of these characters were targeted for their sexuality, and this show is famous for ending with a happy, and very much alive, canon queer ship.
