Without spoiling too much, a twist of fate keeps Stede from meeting up with Blackbeard. This leads Blackbeard to believe Stede abandoned him.

Stede’s father is verbally abusive to him as a kid. Stede was also physically and mentally bullied as a child by other kids. There is implied abuse by Blackbeard’s father. The character Jim is also raised to avenge their family, implying that their childhood is filled mostly with the training involved to do so. Jim also witnessed their family’s death, but has no memory of it most likely due to trauma.

There is a dog-fight style joke in which the pirates stage a fight between a crab and a small turtle with a knife tied to it. It's not graphic and it occurs in S1E8 between 14:35-15:06.

There's the butchering of a dead goose in episode one. The goose is in shadow and the butcher just beheads it with a cleaver, with a spray of dramatic fake blood. And that's all you see really. It's framed as traumatic for the main character who is made to watch it, and a reason he's 'squeamish' about blood and violence in the episode's present.

Characters are frequently restrained in the context of being captured/held hostage. Notably in episodes 1-3, there are Englishmen who get tied up with rope and gagged with cloth by the crew. In episodes 8-9, we see the crew being taken prisoner by the English and most of them get their hands tied with rope.

In a different, later episode (dont remember which one exactly) , a character mentions that their fingernails are falling off due to scurvy, but this is not really shown graphically.

(SPOILERS!) one of the main characters gets stabbed twice, stabbing a happen a few times but it’s not all that graphic the first time, some blood spurts but it’s not too bad, second time no blood is shown but he’s impaled there for a while, there is a scene where BlackBeard gets stabbed and you see the sword sticking out of his stomach but there isn’t really any visible blood, a characters father is shown being spabbed a few times and likely more I can’t remember at the moment.

in episode 3, A character is about to be hanged for piracy, but its interrupted, then the thing he is standing on is moved accidentally and he is hanged and struggling to breathe for pretty much the rest of that particular scene, but he gets the rope is cut before he dies from it. In the next episode he has a red mark on his neck around his throat/jawline from the incident. It goes away after that.
In a later episode, a flashback reveals that a character killed their own abusive father via strangling him with a rope.

Characters are sometimes put into situations that could be considered torture (one character is held captive in a chest for a long period of time), but this is all treated with a comedic and light tone so it’s never portrayed as overly gruesome or intense, (said character forgives the character who trapped him in the chest almost immediately)

Not exactly, but there are a few things to note: Stede is insulted about being fat several times in episodes 1-2. Jim is a nonbinary person who disguises themself as a man, including wearing a fake nose and beard, and we see them removed (by choice in episodes 1-2 and by force in episode 3). They also continue binding their chest after they stop presenting as a man, and a couple times their chest is nearly seen by another character (by accident, episodes 2 and 10), and is seen by choice (episode 10).

Maybe. Ed has a panic attack in episode 6, and Stede seems to have multiple anxiety attacks over an event from episode 1. It’s also likely that both of them have a degree of PTSD from their childhood traumas as well as from things witnessed while at sea.

Not explicitly stated, but seems to be likely as Blackbeard has a flashback and a panic attack upon seeing the fake Kraken in “The Art of Fuckery”.

No one exactly self harms but a character actively provokes another to hurt him, eventually resulting in strangling and mutilation

Blackbeard is implied to be somewhat suicidal, or at least doesn’t care if he lives or dies/is intrigued by the idea of dying

They are pirates, their language is often coarse. Blackbeard in particular swears often. He calls his performances "fuckery" and shouts "fuck!" several times when fighting a snake.

FINALE SPOILERS! Lucius (a gay man) is pushed off the ship, his fate is never disclosed but there is a reasonable chance he is dead. He does not get pushed because of his sexuality and he is far from the only queer character in the show.

This intends to have realistic villains to the time period in the first episode, so the British do in fact engage in heavy racism. While this show is stylized, it doesn't pull punches.

Mildly. It is more written into the script/on the part of the writers than from other characters. A visibly disabled character is written to be very creepy, asking questions about dismembering a body (not graphic), and is then called a “freak” by another character who scares them off.

Stede's old school mates mock him, which he is shown to internalize a bit. Early on, he is also described as "a heavyset lady" by a British soldier. Otherwise, fat characters are treated respectfully.

Nothing extremely verbally "graphic", but I would argue that Yes there is homophobic language. The main character is regularly referred to in derogative ways, like "namby pamby", "ponce", etc. He's regularly mocked, to his face or behind his back, for being generally soft.

A nonbinary character is originally passing as a man. After the reveal there is a lot of confused discussion (but overall acceptance) and while the nonbinary character is uncomfortable at times, their discomfort seems to stem more from the attention than from any offense. Afterwards, different characters use different pronouns for this character.

None of the characters have specified ages and most look to be about the same age. Lucius who looks to be around 30 flirts with a lot of characters, some of whom look a couple decades older than him. But yeah, they're all adults and all that.

Spanish Jackie says about Jim 'What about your sexy little friend over there? You going to invite him over?" and in later scenes where they are alone in a room makes multiple sexual comments and pins Jim against a pillar while they seem uncomfortable (Episode 3, 15:44-15:57)

Yes, both Ed and Stede are made to feel badly for showing emotions at various times. However, alternative forms of masculinity is a major theme of the show, and it's not usually framed as something the audience should laugh it.

No one is homeless during the events of the show, but it is implied that most of the pirates were driven to piracy because of desperation and poverty. There are brief and pretty vague references to this throughout the show, such as one of the characters revealing he’s skilled at pickpocketing because of a dark time in his life that he vaguely describes as “not cute”

toward the end of episode 9, a character who is threatening another with a gun accidentally trips and shoots himself in the head/eye with his gun. it’s not overly graphic, but still graphic enough to note. it also does not cut away at any point, it plays continuously.

A few gunpowder explosions, none of them massive. Lots of them played for comedy in episode 2 in particular. Nobody is injured.
