Stalking is a mandatory game mechanic, and you must do it to achieve anything in the game. Additionally a few side characters are being stalked by other characters. Stalking is a major plot element to this game, and cannot be avoided.

This can be invoked with Horuda Puresu and/or the mind slave mechanic. If a kidnapped student is brought to school on Friday after being tortured and mentally broken, you can sick them on another student for the mind slave to kill before killing themselves. Horuda functions similarly. If you tell her that someone has been bullying her (correctly or not), she will kill them the next day before killing herself.

Not explicitly. However, it must be noted that in 1980s Mode, you essentially get to see the backstory of Ayano's parents. Ayano's mother, Ryoba, kidnapped Ayano's father, Jokichi, and they had a biological child. You could draw rape as a conclusion from the circumstances.

You have the option to take pantyshots of students but it’s not a necessary mechanic. However it is such a prevalent feature in the game, it’s unavoidable. Students are modeled to have short skirts and visible panties, although you can add a censor bar. There are many sexually upsetting situations in yandere simulator, but it surely has nothing to do with the developer...

The game is incredibly sexually charged.

Not only does this game not have a happy ending, the dev behind it isn't a very happy person either. He's a confirmed rape fetishist and pedophile apologist. Don't play or support this game or the man behind it.

You can drown a character on the fountain or in the bathroom.

Yes actually there's a mod called "Life Note" and you can make an explosion with it.

There’s the option in a Easter egg to equip a gun, but there are no guns outside of that.
