EXTREMELY debatable. The player characters are cops, and ultimately blunder their way into saving the world. However, only one on-screen cop could be described as "morally upright." Most of the characters' heroics appear after their police department effectively disbands. The police are a largely-antagonistic force in the second season. Police are generally not viewed in a good light in the series.

No body dysmorphia occurred in Season 1, when this page was first created.
More recently in Season 2, however, Julius Summers develops a fear of/disconnect from his own face. This leads up to the beginnings of an interrupted self-mutilation attempt.

Abortion is discussed (largely out of character and in an unserious, surface-level way) in the Convergence side arc. If this is an issue for you, it is easy to skip, as Convergence does not tie in to either seasons' main story
