In the final episode of BFB, "Chapter Complete" Teardrop leaves to compete on TPOT. It is implied that she never said goodbye to anyone, as no one knows where she is besides Profily, the one who took her to Two in the first place.
While whether or not this instance counts as child abandonment is highly debatable, Balloony and Rocky, who have somewhat of a parent-child relationship, are separated by the split.
In the one and only episode in IDFB, there is a brief flashback of a character, in a household, trying to hide form something that had a spiked club
While we still don’t fully know the context or what had happened, it could easily be implying that the character was beaten when she was younger
There are bugs in BFDI 22, BFDI 24, BFDIA 3, BFB 16, and BFB 21. They're a major plot point in BFDI 24 and BFDIA 3, but only briefly appear in the others.
Despite the title, BFDI 9 does NOT have any insects, it's actually just a reference to the challenge being a six legged race.
There is an instance where Donut's dead body is chopped apart for use as a prize at an elimination. Eraser also attempts to cut his arms off when the Announcer gives a point bonus to armless contestants, but he is stopped by Leafy.
There are multiple instances in the show where characters flat out lose their limbs, and by extension, hands. This includes:
Pin losing her limbs in BFDIA 5a: Get in the Van
Donut losing his arms in TPOT 8: Balancing P.A.C.T
There is an episode in BFB where, while the characters are in space, a hole is broken in one of the windows of their spaceship, causing them to start suffocating and need to "download more air." This ends up being non-fatal, and is mostly a joke sequence, as the rest of the series depicts them being able to directly float in space without harm.
Nickel is consumed by Rocky so that Rocky can produce more acidic vomit. Characters also often talk about eating or wanting to eat Fries' fries, though this is not harmful to him as he is actually the container and not the fries themselves.
While mild compared to most cases (no blood or gore is involved, just a simple pull and bam the limbs are gone, no pain), Pin has her limbs pulled off in an episode of BFDIA.
In BFB 5, it's very heavily implied that Four snapped one of X's legs to the point where he was temporarily dismembered (he returns to normal by the next episode).
Four canonically burns and dismembers X at multiple points in the series, but this is played off cartoonishly. Four also blasts Gelatin with a laser from his hand, to which he screams in pain, and stretches out parts of Baloony's hand, which also causes him to make pained sounds. There are also multiple "prank" segments in the first season which are dedicated to showing characters dying repeatedly due to specific setups.
Ruby unknowingly jumps to her death in IDFB, and an entire music scene is dedicated to seeing Ice Cube constantly falling to her death over and over in BFDI.
Not eye mutilation, but there is a period in the series where Woody finds himself inside the eye of Four, and is visible on his pupil. Later, Woody surfs on a wave of lava, which is seen to eject itself from Four's eye.
The character's ages are made unclear. However, most fans perceive Rocky and Grassy as children, Gelatin claims to be six years old (its unclear if he was joking or not) and it's generally accepted by the fanbase that most of the characters are teenagers or young adults (Bubble and Ice Cube are very frequently killed, for instance), so take that as you will.
If you mean cheating in order to gain an unfair advantage in a test or competition, yes. See previous comment.
If you mean cheating in a relationship, which is most likely what this question is asking, no.
There is a jumpscare in bfdia 2 at 6:05 IMMEDIATELY after book says that they should be safe. There is another in bfdia 5a at 15:18 when golf ball, tennis ball, and rocky are running away from evil leafy.
In episode 7 of BFB, Remote is possessed by the two teams who were stuck on the moon, in an attempt to not lose the challenge happening on earth. It’s clear the possession is against Remotes will, as she asks for help, and Tennis Ball is remorseful about the action, as he expresses guilt about it stating that Remote is a person, and that they used to play Tether Ball
multiple episodes involve characters throwing syringes filled with either poison or a liquid that freezes people at others. Syringes filled with anti-poison are also used
During BFB 5 Fortunate 🅱️en, Flower begins flailing around like a tube man at a used car lot when Ruby suggests she looks more beautiful when she does that. It’s subtle, but it isn’t hard to see that as body dysmorphia.
It's not a tragic or graphic example, but Yellow Face willingly makes himself die on purpose in an episode of BFDIA so he can be recovered immediately and thus saved from quicksand.
The scream sound effect is loud. Rocky’s “bulleh!” can also be seen as loud if you’re wearing headphones. Both occur suddenly and are often unpredictable.
In the one and only episode in IDFB, the episode starts off as camera recording, as one of characters adjusts it and takes off the lens. It’s not really all that shaky, and it’s extremely brief
The entire series is voter-based, which means that at the end of the episode, a character will direct the viewers on how to vote. There is also an episode near the end of Season 4 that revolves entirely around the characters having to save the show from being cancelled due to a lack of budget.
Teardrop, the nonverbal character, is assaulted in an attempt to make her talk. Likewise, Woody, who has "panophobia", is made fun of a lot for his phobias. On the topic of what some people call "casual ableist language", words like d*mb are used frequently.
No character is misgendered in the series as far as I’ve seen, however I’ve seen a lot of fans who may either accidentally or purposely misgender characters.
There is a scene where one character shoots another with laser guns mounted onto a spaceship, vaporizing them. There is also a laser gun that a character uses to kill other characters in the second episode of TPOT.
