Porco, the protagonist, is a "human pig" and gets into a pretty graphic fist fight with bruising. It's a "consentual" fist fight so not technically abuse. You'll see a beat up cartoon pig face.

It seems like at some points Fio might have a crush on him but after he learns her age he has 0 thoughts of doing anything inappropriate with her.

Fio is 17. Many older men are attracted to her, she kisses Porco Rosso on the cheek (making him blush), she is a "price" to win in a duel (and will have to marry an older man if he wins), she ends up kissing Porco Rosso on the mouth.....

The film is vocally anti-military and anti-fascist, like all of Miyazaki's films, and the secret police are antagonists. Porco has some friends in the military, but he mostly ridicules them. Some of them disobey orders to help him.

This does take place during WW2, and there are some brief scenes referencing the presence of fascism in Italy, but there is no direct antisemitism and the film is pretty blatantly against it.

Porco degrades himself by calling himself "a pig" multiple times, but in relation to seeing himself as selfish. Other people are not bothered by his appearance at all.

The movie is set around the 1920's. At some key points, "women being worse than men" are mentioned, and are proven wrong and subverted multiple times.

Nothing explicit but there are some sexual commentary towards women and the movie has many sexual/romantic commentaries towards a teenager coming from adults that is often treated as funny or "cute" and the girl is shown to be in love with the main character, who is also an adult and it is completely romantized
