Often a queen will say something mean and then when confronted will say the classic "I never said that"

As a reality competition show of course there is no drug use on screen, but drug use is discussed and sometimes joked about.

Occasionally, some teeth are covered with black ink to create an effect (usually for comedy). One example was in the Madonna Rusical S12E7, when each queen drew a gap in their teeth to resemble Madonna.

no but many episodes a dance move called a 'death drop' is performed, and discussed, and at one point a queen was injured performing this move.

Not directly but in early seasons they have questionable challenges. In a more recent season there’s a mini challenge to be a sexy baby.

S7 EP12 the r-slur is used uncensored. skip past Kennedy Davenport's meal with RuPaul to avoid.
S7 EP4 Katya says "f*ckt*rds" (variation of the r-slur
S13 EP5 the lip sync song is "Fancy" by Iggy Azelea, which has the r-slur in it. It is censored in post, and they cut to a judge's face when the lyric comes up, presumably to hide the queens mouthing it.

sometimes children toys are used to make costumes, particularly in challenges where the queens are given random items to make costumes from, and every season they customise puppets, but these are not taken from an actual child.

S04E05 - Sharon Needles carries a syringe as a prop for her runway look. She imitates injecting her lip with it.
S08E07 - During a faux political ad, Naomi Smalls suggests training police officers to perform injectable cosmetic surgery, with Pit Crew members imitating the action. In Kim Chi's ad, Smalls comically pokes her lip with a prop syringe.

some queens clearly have dealt with trauma (likely have ptsd too) and sometimes discuss it, but nothing too bothersome like flashbacks are shown from what i have seen

In season 11 Yvie Oddly, there are multiple instances of the c slur (cr*pple) when, due to EDS, she uses crutches. They then do the cr*p walk to mock her. Definitely triggered me, as a wheelchair user. There are also abled appropriation of mobility aids in other seasons, and jokes about amputees.

I’m not entirely sure if this is considered misgendering but several queens from the show have come out as trans or non binary after appearing on their season and a referred to with the wrong pronouns on their season.
