Only in episode 4 so far when a character is manipulated into believing she’s crazy. All else is other forms of manipulation.

Not explicitly sexual assault, but feels very similar so I’d say yes. a character is forcibly stripped, showered, and cavity searched when admitted to an asylum

No, but there’s an androgynous woman in the mental institution who looks somewhat “emo” (as trans people are sometimes stereotyped as) who is highlighted as being taller than Sophia and who beats her up. She later unalives herself. I don’t think she was intentionally trans-coded but the parallels to transphobic stereotypes could be uncomfortable.

No, but a character eats ravenously when released from an asylum. Reminiscent of a binge or messy eating characteristic of various eating disorders - could be a trigger.

Blood is shown spraying several times so it’s implied that the attempt was successful.

Mentally ill people are abused and gaslighted in a mental institution. The portrayal of mentally ill people in the institution is ableist with a conflation between mental illness and violence. There is ableism towards Vic’s stutter and the “Penguin” title is given to Oz out of ableism.

The “Penguin” title is given to Oz because he’s fat and because of the way he walks.

I’d argue many times. Sex workers are shown and used as props for men to party with, a character is objectified by her doctors when she is supposed to be getting help from them
