There's dog-like monsters that can be killed. Sometimes the dog-signifier is in the species ("Kath hound") other times it's in the descriptor ("guard dog," "Separatist hound")

The Sith Inquisitor grew up as a slave, Kira Carsen (Jedi Knight companion) was abused as a child, and Thexan, Arcann and Vaylin were abused as children, with Vaylin's abuse being explored in some detail

There are people called Spice Traders, who sell drugs called Spice. There are also other various times where people can mention selling spice or using it.

During the casino nightlife event, there's a mechanic where you can drink alcohol to get a "feeling lucky" bonus on the slot machines. If you drink too much to chase this bonus, your character will die.

I don't think it's possible to play without having to kill animals at some point. My best tip for minimizing this is to play a class with stealth ability. That way you can sneak past most of them, and then at higher levels, you can use it to end combat if you accidentally "aggro" any.

Stealth classes:
1. Jedi Consular -> Shadow
2. Smuggler -> Scoundrel
3. Sith Inquisitor -> Assassin
4. Agent -> Operative

Not only is there unavoidable animal abuse but the game itself is pro-animal abuse. Animal rights activists are exclusively portrayed as ignorant and in the wrong, even when they're fighting abuse as terrible as baby animals being forced to dogfight and the last members of a species getting eaten.

Many boss battles where you fight someone and their pet monster. And then there's dialogue where the boss mourns the pet when it dies. Some of these are optional such as the Eternal Championship arena and the Ravagers operation.

A character boasts about using his job as a doctor to creep on women. You can optional flirt with a woman you have enslaved, but you can't romance her. You can also optionally sleep with prostitutes and trick a prostitute into sleeping with you for her freedom. Then not free her.

There's a smuggler ability called "dirty kick" with a visceral sound effect. Even if you don't play a smuggler, you'll still encounter it whenever you fight smuggler players or NPCs.

Every storyline has points at which you can torture other characters, or the player character will be tortured. It's a very common occurrence in this game, sometimes but not always optional, and would be a difficult trigger to avoid in my opinion.

No excessive gore but a bloodless decapitated head is shown prominently and put on a spear as part of a quest (haven't played yet so I can't say how gory it is for sure) and there's another mission where you put a skull in a large pool of blood.

There's an instance of the trope where a character is only known by a nickname, and then it's played for laughs when their "stuffy-sounding" birth name is revealed.

It's common to see injections, but they use a futuristic looking device with pressurized hissing sound effects and no apparent needles.

One of the Imperial Agent companions is a "mad scientist doctor." The planet Taris has broken down hospitals. In some of the more recent content, a major NPC is hurt and there's a recovery scene in a hospital type environment.

In the Sith Inquisitor storyline, you can make a blood pact with ghosts, and you cut yourself with a knife.

In MOST cases, the "madness" comes from some kind of dark side corruption rather than a real world mental illness. (The Dread Masters storyline is a good example of this.)

In the Imperial Agent storyline, you don't exactly have an attack, but the player hallucinates and passes out from a severe brain condition.

The game considers the dialogue option for a male where he says he wants to wear a feminine dance outfit a joke and it’s treated as such. The lines might be the same if your character is a woman but I’m not sure.

On Alderaan, Hallam Organa talks about his weight in a self-deprecating manner. Not really fat jokes but definitely (internalized) fatphobia.

Not nuclear, but there's a lot of explosions and detonations. If there's such a thing, it probably wouldn't be called nuclear but something more space-related I guess?
