At some point, a man flirts with an underage girl at a bar. However, he is unaware she is underage. Later on, an 18 year old tries to force herself onto a 16 year old, but is unsuccessful. Grooming is talked about, and seen in a negative light. However, sexual assault does not seem to actually harm any characters in the series.

Two characters (14 and 15 at the beginning of the story) are neglected and verbally abused by their mother. In ep. 237, another character says that he's been abandoned by his parents. In ep. 128, a man burns his 15-year-old son's hand with a cigarette and expresses homophobic views, though that boy is not gay.

During episode 84, a character is poked in the eye. For the next few episodes, he is shown wearing a bandage over it. Later on, a different character gets punched in the face and gets a black eye, though I'm pretty sure it only looks that way in the one episode.

There is no incestuous relationships, though Iris successfully tricks Arcus into thinking that Gale and Maud are dating. He is unaware that Gale and Maud are siblings, despite looking alike and having the same last name. (Arcus is very oblivious.)

I don't know if I'd consider it predatory, but trans characters are depicted as aggressive/violent in earlier episodes. I think it's worth a mention just in case, as people in the comments did not like this portrayal.

Maud is made fun of for being fat, moreso in the early episodes.
The comic itself tries to promote body positivity (it is acknowledged that Maud's sudden weight loss in Season 5 is concerning and unhealthy).

Despite being labeled as a drama, nearly every episode ends on a joke.
Though the series is nowhere near close to ending, I highly doubt the ending will be sad based on what I know about the creator and the tone they've established for the series.

There is no nudity, but Iris and her friends are tricked into wearing bikinis to school by Arcus (the main character) in episode 11 and Iris is shown in her underwear in episode 13. Arcus sometimes wears outfits where his pelvic bone is emphasized for some reason. I think he's also shown in his underwear in episode 111. None of this is in a sexual context, though it might feel awkward considering the characters are minors.

In addition to the bra stuffing, Iris buys bra inserts but is talked out of using them by Gale (they agree to a dare—Iris doesn't use the inserts if Gale agrees to stop smoking).
Lola and Iris also try on fake boobs in Season 3 while Arcus is collabing with drag queens. They come to the realization that having big boobs sucks and they like their bodies the way they are.

In episode 146, Maud and Gale's mom says she wishes she never had them and leaves without saying goodbye. She hasn't shown up in an episode since and the comic seems to imply she has abandoned them.
There might be other less extreme examples, but I can't think of specific ones off the top of my head.

The protagonist is bullied a lot for being feminine and "looking like a girl." "Gay" is used as an insult occasionally. Transphobic and homophobic bullying is a reoccurring thing, which clearly affects one character a lot. Someone is made fun of for being fat and not shaving her body hair. Another character is also teased for having a lot of pimples and zits. Most of the bullying becomes less severe as the story progresses.
