The show has a very refreshing stance on this: Bojack wants forgiveness from a close he harmed, that friend is on his deathbed and refuses to forgive. It is 1000% the right choice.
Bojack also harms several characters, two of them to the point where they get PTSD. They break off contact. Several other character break off contact with Bojack too.

S5E4: Mention of a husband choking his wife. S5E11: BoJack punches a wall and chokes Gina, who clearly suffers from PTSD symptoms afterwards.

The in-universe show Philbert in Season 5 parodies this ,but the show itself makes sure that depictions of violence against women are not glamorized albeit Gina being choked in the penultimate episode can still be very upsetting to watch

Young Bojack is emotionally abused in several flashbacks, and hit by his father on at least one occasion. A teenage Diane is also shown to be emotionally abused by her family. In S4E10 it is revealed someone has been drugging a teenager without her consent throughout the season, to the point that she passes out. In S5E4 we hear audio of a father verbally abusing and threatening his daughter. In S6E13 the same father verbally abuses her at her college.

Granted not NEARLY as bad as other shows but I feel like it’s still worth mentioning that it still occasionally happens even if the punchline isn’t men getting assaulted in itself but some still be triggered by the topic. Such as S4E5 when BoJack recalls surviving a molestation attempt it is viewed as actually horrific, the point of that bit was more that it was the consequence of Beatrice not driving him home after a bad choir performance

Can't recall the specifics regarding medical needles, though drug use is a major theme, but there's a running gag in season 6 about people getting stabbed by a baby porcupine's needles, and the resulting stab wounds are at one point mistaken for drug needles.

No confirmed autistic characters, but Judah is autistic coded and as an autistic person myself i have absolutely no problems with the way he was depicted. He experiences trouble interpreting social situations but still manages to have and maintain healthy relationships of both platonic and romantic natures.

S2E4: a character is made fun of for her weight gain, and it's later said in S3E11 that fat jokes prompted her to develop an eating disorder. S4E8: Hollyhock is insecure about her weight and BoJack makes insensitive comments about it. S4E11: A young Beatrice is mocked for being fat. There are some other discussions of weight but most of it is played seriously, and most characters who make fat jokes, including the above, are shown in a poor light.

In S1E8 a group of protestors are shown with homophobic signs. There's also misogynistic comments in episodes like S2E7 and S4E5. S4E2 mentions Nazis and a character blames Jewish people for WW2. Beatrice sometimes makes outdated comments about gay people and immigrants. S4E5 also has a minor character make racist comments while hitting on Diane. A character in S5E4 makes comments about many different groups (Jewish people, Swedish people, women, etc) but not very graphic and it is exaggerated to being cartoonish. S5E6 has BoJack's dad use homophobic language including the word "q*eer" in a derogatory context.

Possibly implied in S4E11 as Beatrice refers to herself as a “ruined woman” which seems to suggest that the one night stand with Butterscotch that rendered her pregnant was her first time having sex. It also nearly happens in S3E2 with two teenagers ,but it’s interrupted before it could commence and even then one of them is a closeted asexual trying to avoid having sex

In-universe at least, the series does have pretty nuanced female characters and frequently satirizes the misogynistic, male gazy side of Hollywood. One notable example however is the Season 5 premiere dealing with concerns that there’s too many scenes sexualizing women in an in-universe TV show that Bojack is in and the director tried to balance out by subjecting BoJack to one even though he’s uncomfortable at the idea

It's implied that Sarah Lynn was sexually abused by her stepfather. She mentions in S2E4 she can recognize the taste of bear fur because he was a bear and as a child doesn't want to be in her dressing room in S6E5 because her stepfather is "being weird."
