SPOILERS Not fully but the ending is weird, after abuse and sa from her brother the main character is very upset when he dies, but also is the one who killed him. And there’s a point where she is under a spell type influence that causes her to “forgive” and be on her brothers side.

There is a scene in which a group of women have been magically drugged and raped, for the purpose of becoming pregnant. There is an attempt to sexually assault a main character by a demon. A main character is kissed against their will by an ex-partner. There is also a sexually abusive one-sided incestuous relationship, though this does not become physical.

There is a scene where people are set on fire as punishment for crimes. There is a character whose skin is complete charred. There's a type of portal that's just a ring if fire, although it doesn't burn to use the portal, it does hurt the people going through it.

Many characters attempt to sacrifice themselves. *spoilers* off the top of my head, Jace tries to sacrifice his life to destroy the soul sword, Clary insists that she should die so she doesn’t activate the soul sword, Magnus gives up his magic (which makes him extremely depressed) to save Jace, and I’m sure there’s many more.

I remember there was an episode where Alec was possessed and made to kill someone, and then the demon possessed another main character too, and they both have some kind of trauma after as a result. There may be other possessions too but that one was impactful. Maybe early S2?

In season 1, episode 13, but it’s not cheating. Magnus is kissed by his ex-girlfriend Camille without his consent and before he can push her away, Alec walks in and assumes the worst, but they seem to clear it up immediately.

Almost again in season 2, episode 13. However Magnus, the bisexual character, shuts it down as soon as he realizes that he’s about to be kissed.

In season 2, episode 10, we find out that Raphael is asexual. Izzy asks him if being a vampire made him this way, some may interpret that as aphobic but she doesn’t say anything else rude after he corrects her that he’s always been like this. But it’s worth noting that in the books, Raphael is an AROMANTIC asexual, however in the show he’s only asexual.
