The player is encouraged to kill a number of mutated, often violent animals ranging from dogs to bears to deer. Dead mutants resembling dolphins are seen occasionally and dead brahmin (cows) are a common indication of danger.

There are no spiders in Fallout 4. If people are voting yes they might mean the cousin of the arachnid, which is a scorpion, or a Radscorpion in Fallout's case. But since these are not ACTUAL spiders, the answer is no.

No on screen child abuse, although there is clear neglect. Additionally, one of the adult companions refers to being abused as a child.

Morpheine (MedX), PCP (Psycho), steroids (Buffout), booze, an inhalant that increases your AP generation (Jet), and pills that make you smarter (Mentats). These can be refined or combined in various ways. RadAway comes in an IV bag. Rad X comes in pill form.

The player character can develop an alcohol addiction, which will be referenced by other characters in the game. Several companions are implied to abuse alcohol or at least have an unhealthy relationship with it.

In super mutant camps, one can often find "meat bags" which would likely be triggering for people who don't like gore. Pickman's Gallery might also be considered excessive due to the amount of dead bodies, blood, and severed limbs inside the building.

The player and several other characters are locked in cryosleep caskets and some characters die while inside. Another situation has a child getting locked inside a fridge for many years. While not necessarily burial, these might evoke similar feelings.

It is greatly toned down from previous games, but necrotic ghouls and beefy, veiny super-mutants are regular enemies.

You can romance companions in game and can romance more than one; if a romanced companion witnesses this, their affinity towards you will go down. This is simply a game mechanic and holds no real value to the story otherwise.

In the DLC Nuka-World, some ghouls are painted to vaguely resemble clowns, and the player may apply clown paint if they wish, but there are no literal clowns shown

There are holotapes (audio recordings) of people being killed. The PC can listen to them if they so choose, but most can be avoided.

Virgil is a super mutant who was once human. He hates his current body and isolates himself from the entire world because of it. Curie is a robot who dislikes her robot form and wants to become human, though this is far less major than Virgil’s situation. There are also several ghouls who deal with hating their current bodies.

Yes, *but* almost all of the hate speech is among fictional groups: super mutants and ghouls are biased against humans, and vice versa. Among real-life humans, there is some ethnic hatred towards the Communist nations, but otherwise there is no inter-human racial animus.

The main antagonist faction of the game, The Institute, has many antisemitic tropes and themes, namely being a secretive organization that runs shadow governments as well as kidnaps and replaces people. While there isn't an explicit mention of Judaism or Jewish people, it has very harmful antisemitic stereotypes

Yes, but thank god it has nothing to do with their orientation -- it's just that 99% of the humans in this game are killable.

Grey area on account of sci-fi circumstances but your 200+ year old character can date multiple possible characters albeit all parties involved are adults and YMMV considering how the Sole Survivor is physically and mentally the same as their pre-war age on account of being cryogenically frozen

Not sure if directly, but Travis Miles' quest is about him gaining more confidence. One of his friends tells the player they want to help Travis "man up".

In addition to the comment about the player drowning, there are a few unlisted quests that lead to underwater skeletons implied or stated to have died by drowning.
