There's a skeleton of a weird alien space-dolphin but it's only a minor worldbuilding detail that isn't elaborated on.

A major female character wears masculine clothing and a couple of characters are surprised (but not offended) when it's revealed she's a girl early on, and no one refers to her by male pronouns. Other than that, there's no transphobia since there are no (explicitly) trans or nb characters.

IIRC, a character gets a nasty scar from a beam saber scraping across his cockpit, but we only see him cover his face in the immediate aftermath and bandages around his face in subsequent episodes. Also, there are people who get caught up in (and sometimes die from) explosions but they don't explicitly show burn damage.

Mecha beam sword fights (slashing the other mech in half and stabbing the cockpit) and mecha knife fights (stabbing the cockpit). Most of the time they don't show the human getting slashed/stabbed except for showing a character right before he dies. There are a couple of human-on-human knife fights plus attempted stabbing of a prisoner but two out of three of those end without bloodshed (and the third ends via non-fatal gunshot)

In the backstory, twin children are taken away from their mother and adopted by her sister and a VIP in order to save their life from an angry mob. I don't recall the mom explicitly saying she's fine with it but considering the circumstances I would say this is an understandable instance.

There are mech fights taking place underwater, but these deaths are caused from their cockpits getting destroyed not from drowning. Someone almost drowns in SEED and SEED Destiny but they're rescued.

A character calls the protagonist a crybaby at one point when reminiscing about him but it's not done out of malicious intent. Later on, the protagonist's love interest comforts him and says it's okay to cry. The narrative itself does not portray men crying in a negative light.

Not cancer, but there is a major character who probably won't live past their twenties because of shortened telomeres.

It's medicinal rather than recreative, but someone takes drugs because he has a health condition and three other people take them because they can't function if they don't.

Shani, Clotho, and Orga are quite bloodthirsty and unrestrained, due to the highly lethal drugs they take. In SEED Destiny, Stella, Sting, and Auel are more stable when not piloting mobile suits, but when they do, they're just as bloodthirsty. Of these characters Stella is the only one who is treated fairly sympathetically in the narrative, though the entire situation of the Biological CPUs is tragic overall.

It's not a total downer ending but it's heavy on the bittersweet - the war ends, but a lot of people die and the main thrust of the conflict (tension between genetically-enhanced people and the non-genetically enhanced) isn't really resolved. And, in the sequel series SEED Destiny, another war starts.

One character responds to another's advances with "that's harassment" but it's done in a joking manner. Later on they get together after the military hierarchy is no longer an issue. A few instances of kissing without consent but the person on the receiving end is fine with it. Accidental boob grab in SEED Destiny. No instances of deliberate sexual assault, however
