There are multiple references to the neighbor’s dog being killed by Dexter when he was a teenager, but nothing is ever shown. It is also mentioned that the dog was being detrimental to the health of Dexter’s mother.

Rita mentions the neighbor’s young, adorable, Beagle mix is barking all the time because he is neglected by being left outside all day and all night. Dexter mentions bringing him inside and feeding him, implying the neighbor neglects that too. The arrogant neighbor says the dog was abandoned by her ex, and seems to really hate the dog, too. Spoiler: the good boy finds a new loving, caring home, thanks to some sneaky dognapping from Rita.

Yes, I would proceed with caution with Season 5 in specific. Honestly, I wish I had skipped it altogether.
Spoilers ahead
Rita was sexually abused by her ex-husband Paul. The effects of this are mostly mentioned or shown in season 1. None of Rita's abuse is shown on screen.
The barrel girls/Lumen's case is a different story. Season 5 revolves around men who rape, torture, and kill women. Images, clips, and graphic descriptions are shown and talked about. This mostly revolves around Lumen's experiences in particular, as she was the survivor.
Then there are misc cases of sex offender murderers, who only have pretty brief mentions of their crimes.

No and yes. Dexter is never stated to be autistic, but is characterized as faking all of his emotions and social interactions. This is self-evidently untrue (the show sometimes explores this fact but usually doesn't), and his awkwardness as well as problems comprehending tone, having conversations, and understanding others are all very reminiscent of autism - not sociopathy. These traits of his are considered by the narrative to be "because" he is a killer, and at no point does the narrative ever decouple the two - leading to frequent parts that are quite judgmental of what are realistically benign (and often autistic) traits.

The protagonist and many of the antagonists in season 8, however it's unclear if they are victims of medical malpractice and purposely misdiagnosed. Another main character has PTSD and can lash out violently if triggered and panicked. (Spoilers for a plot twist in s6) The main antagonist of season 6 is mentally ill, and has frequent hallucinations and delusions. His diagnosis is unclear.

Yes, most notably an important character commits suicide on screen during season 4. (Shown on screen but not graphic.) In the same season a character is brought up to have committed suicide. (Not shown, but others are forced to emulate the death.) Another requests to be killed by Dex (I can't remember the season, sorry! Shown.) Season 2 its revealed a main character had committed suicide. (Not shown) Season 6 there is both an unsuccessful terrorist attack where the character kills herself. (Shown graphically, but its accidental.) It is also mentioned a previously known character committed suicide off screen. In season 7, someone writes a suicide note to cover up for his own murder. (Shown graphic.) In season 8, a murder-suicide attempt involving the main leads also occurs. (Shown, not graphic since they survived.) It's also brought up as a possibility in many cases, as well as some others I am certainly forgetting.

The f-slur is used on occasion along with other misc derogatory terms. None of which are directed to or about a gay character afaik.

Yes.
As another comment says there is uses of the r-slur. There are also cases of using psychopath, sociopath, and other things. Mostly to refer to serial killers. A main supporting character of season 8 could also be interpreted as being very ableist and abusing others due to it, despite being a psychologist.

Yes, in season 7. He is also one of the major supporting characters of that season, along with his boyfriend who we find out about in a twist.
These aren't related to hate crimes, but instead, because they are parts of major criminal organizations.

41:30 in, Deb mocks two people she sees on video while reviewing security camera footage. No one but herself hears this.
She calls them "Mr. and Mrs. Tub-o-Lardi."

Dexter starts out as "asexual", but as he becomes "less evil" and "more human" as the show puts it, he starts showing interest in women.
The show also implies most killers are Asexual if they're not rapists.

Because it’s based in Miami the Latino cops are very exaggerated- Spanglish and fedoras and Hawaiian shirts. The African American male cop is silent and angry all the time and has anger issues. There’s stereotypes everywhere

The first major character to appear in multiple seasons to die is Black, but there are many deaths, both minor and significant, before his.

There is casual transphobia throughout the series. Masuka uses “shemale” and “he-she” often, and in season three there’s a scene with trans sex workers that’s kinda gross about it.

Debra and Lundy during season 2 and 4. Actors are 30 years apart in age. The characters are between 20 and 30 years apart, possibly mentioned during an episode in season 2.

The protagonist's adoptive sister thinks she is in love with him. She dreams of kissing him in a scene. Not sure if it is incestuous since he is adopted, but it is still kind of weird.

A woman debates whether or not to keep her pregnancy, and her decision to keep the kid is not based on anti-abortion sentiment.

Yes. In season 4 the main character totals his car, but there are no major injuries. In season 8, a character takes control of a car to wreck it in a failed murder-suicide attempt.

Honestly most of the premise. Dexter is the blood guy, after all, so we get a ton of it.

Lots of gunshots fired, sometimes resulting in death, sometimes not. The protagonist works with cops, so it's standard.
