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.

wild mongrels will often come up and attack you
if you have dogmeat as your companion he will fight hostiles
with the nuka world DLC when entering the bradberton amphitheatre there is a cage in the middle with two pack animals fighting eachother, sometimes these are dogs

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.

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.

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.

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

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
