For some of the violent/abusive characters, it is confirmed in-game (or assumed/up for speculation overall) that they were neglected/abused/traumatized before the events of the Killing Game.

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.

No, but one character does offer to buy the protagonist a 'brewski' in the opening sequence. Due to the closed-circle nature of the situation they're soon shown to be in, this offer cannot be redeemed in-game.

There’s an optional scene where three of the boys, protagonist included, peek into the bathhouse. A female character ends up calling another female character a s**t and another insults a girl on her chest size. One character lies about being sexually harassed.

no but one of the characters’ eyes appear to be on fire throughout most of chapter 3, though it does not seem to be painful. also probably worth mentioning: one of the characters has a split personality and when they switch, their eyes change (one has round, grey irises, and the other has wavy, red irises)

the gore itself isn’t too excessive; it’s only blood that’s shown onscreen (there is a lot of blood though). However, more excessive violence is implied in some of the art and story even though it is never shown.

Some might argue technically no, but for the sake of trigger warning, yes. (Major story spoilers) Most of the characters are revealed to be approximately 18 years old near the end of the story, but that doesn't mean much when throughout the entire game they themselves and the player believe they're 16 or so years old.

Not live, but it is mentioned that the protagonist used to wet the bed until he was well into elementary school. This is presented as his most embarrassing secret. While it's far less dire than the secrets of certain others, it might still bring back bad memories.

No copaganda present in this game; quite the opposite, actually. The main villain insults one of the main characters for threatening to call the police. In the same scene, he also calls the police "a group of losers".

A character is revealed to have a serial killer alter, who is brought out whenever they sneeze, faint from seeing blood, or electrocute themself with a taser. A mini-game from the trial in which they are revealed has the player spell out "schizo" in the NISA translation.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
