Technically a lot of violence against the PPG who are children, but they're superheroes who can usually fight back. Some episodes put non-super children in danger.

Drug metaphors, technically. "Mojo Jonesin" has Mojo Jojo sell Chemical X to children and get them addicted.

The episode "Buttercrush" has Buttercup, a five year old girl, develop a crush on Ace of the Gangrene Gang, a grown adult. Ace doesn't reciprocate, but he does exploit her feelings to get her to do illegal and downright dangerous things. If it's any consolation, the episode ends with Buttercup's crush on Ace going up in flames and delivering a beatdown to the entire Gangrene Gang

Mojo JoJo is looked at by an inmate with a creepy smile (implied sexually, although this is more a kind of double meaning) by the ending of "Cootie Gras". Not to mention the Narrator commenting, "Love is in the air, can you just smell it?"

The episode "Twisted Sister" has the girls try to make a 4th sister, who they name Bunny. The episode ends with her exploding (Due to her chemical makeup being unstable) and the girls mourning her (even the narrator is crying at the end), with Bunny never returning.

Ok in the episode where they all switch bodies, a cop became a baby and it definitely didn’t look like drool coming out of his mouth. There’s another episode where the girls are explaining to the mayor what happened during a battle with mojo jojo and during one of bubbles crayon drawn bits, he’s shown hard core throwing up right there. Visual. No audio of it that I can remember.

Flashing effects (quick cuts between black and white) are common whenever amy fisticuffs happen. Nowhere near Electric Soldier Porygon levels, but still proceed with caution.

Satan is portrayed as a man in a dress or as a transfeminine person. It’s unclear but the character’s name is “Him” to drive it home.
