Yes. One of the characters, though I won't mention their name (I'm looking at you, other comment), is revealed to have killed their own sibling.
There is also another instance in which a character was revealed to have killed their sibling, though it was not intentional.

People, obviously including women, do get brutalized (or at least, it's implied they do on account of the player usually only stumbling across the aftermath) on account of this being a murder mystery but the only time it really happens on-screen for spectacle is during the series trademark executions that happen to the culprits at the end of a case. In terms of this specific game, only the one for the first case is really particularly brutal though as it's a left over from when the game was set to have a much darker tone. The rest of the executions in game tend to lean more towards focusing on style with some light dark comedy elements over being particularly brutal. However, the third game, V3, does revert to the brutal tone of the first execution for the whole game, as a heads up. V3, the Danganronpa 3 anime that wraps up the plot of the first two games, and the spin off Another Episode all tend to lean towards the darker side of things, so if you decide to play the rest of the series after this one just keep that in mind.

There’s no explicit intercourse but there are several sexual comments and sexual harassment made towards (allegedly) underage characters. However as already mentioned in other sections above, one of the ending plot twists reveals the fact that the characters have had the past two years of their lives erased from their memory, meaning they are actually 18/19, instead of 16/17 like both the characters and the player thought they were prior, so it’s up to you whether this no longer qualifies in hindsight, or the fact that the characters at the time believe themselves to be underage to be enough to still constitute as such.

She herself admits this was a complete lie later on when she is found out and has zero remorse over making this false claim and the death that befalls the accused because of this.

Plenty of stingers used for emphasis or horror can be jarring, especially the stinger that’s used when a body is discovered by the player. Other loud sound effects are used, such as during executions.

Characters frequently swear and make sexual references throughout the game. Monokuma is the most frequent violator of this, often insulting others and making inappropriate jokes and comments.

The characters are aware that they are constantly being watched by Monokuma and the Mastermind via the numerous cameras around the school, but they don’t know that the cameras are being broadcast worldwide and are being watched by the general public of the entire world.

[SPOILERS] Technically, none of the characters are underaged while having children. They were forced to forget three years of their lives, so while they think they are late teens (around sixteen or seventeen), they are actually closer to early twenties.

One character, unfortunately a victim, is found postmortem to be AMAB, which surprises many characters seeing as they presented as female. While this is very important to the plot and even ties into the motive for why they were murdered (without necessarily implying that their killer did so for transphobic reasons, at least not consciously), the presentation leans on certain tropes (ex. the character realizing this putting the fact quite crudely while panicking, one character initially acting calm while recounting the situation before suddenly unleashing a long "WHAT?", and a third party who was recently revealed as a serial killer of only men regretting not being the one to kill them), and a character who refers to something resembling this character later as feminine is treated as strange. On top of this, one female character (coincidentally the person investigating the body of previous) is also very muscular and broadly built, and catches a LOT of shit for it, even by the protagonist's thoughts.

There's a character who is AMAB, and presented as female to the group. The group discovers they were AMAB after their death, and immediately switch pronouns, without questioning if that's what they wanted to be called.

Racism, transphobia, fatphobia, and especially ableism are written into the game.
One of the students is revealed to have a mental disorder which is tastelessly portrayed, and plenty of ableist insults are used in the game overall.
Hiro and Sakura get the brunt of the anti-blackness; Hifumi is the embodiment of the "fat geek" stereotype, which is mostly played at his expense; and the major twist in one of the trials may trigger trauma in trans individuals as a result of bioessentialist stereotypes.

Well...not in the game itself. If you play the optional, non-canon demo, the singular black(-coded? at least? either that or we REALLY need to talk to him) character is the victim. However, in the game itself, while the writing certainly doesn't do him any favors, he successfully survives past the epilogue without any major injuries. I guess that's one way to trick a universe biased against you.

in her introduction, its mentioned that Sakura is called the "missing link" between humans and apes online. while the game only explicitly connects it to her physical size/strength, she's the darkest-skinned character in the game, so its also pretty racist.

In the “bad ending” this is implied, since the characters eventually have children. But this is mostly because they’re portrayed as high schoolers.

I don't believe it's discussed in this game, but Leon's cousin Kanon has romantic feelings for him, which he does not reciprocate. Kanon is not featured in this game, but there is an incestuous relationship in a different game in the series (V3).

While it isn't a direct result of Alzheimer's or dementia, memory loss is a major plot device in the story. Additionally, two characters experience significant amnesia as a result of a mental disorder they both share.

There is a “bad ending” that could be interpreted as sad, but it’s more humorous considering it’s not really an ending, and after getting it the games takes you back so you can see the real ending

Yes, the game has a lot of blood and gore due to its premise of a killing game. All the blood is bright pink instead of red, which for some people may be enough to not trigger them.
