Shadow Weaver, who acts as a parental figure to Catra and Adora, two of the main characters, is highly manipulative to both and incredibly rude and demeaning to Catra, even going so far as to harm her, and even in the first episode we can see the fear Catra has towards her.

- Catra's whole character arc as a villain.
- Everyone from Adora and Catra's squad in the Horde is implied to have been a child soldier. However, everyone (except Rogelio) picks on Kyle with no consequences.
- Arguably Hordak, since he justifies his military campaign as a quest for redemption.

The title character's main arc deals with coming to terms with the fact that the organisation that raised her is in fact evil, and lied to her all her life about their benevolent intentions. Much time is devoted to her overcoming the effects of this indoctrination.

It's not really assault, but a male character (Sea Hawk) becomes a bit affectionate/handsy with a princess who is shown to be annoyed or uncomfortable with his advances. It's framed in a lighthearted way and nothing serious happens but there is some disrespect of her boundaries.

I don't know if this counts, but I thought it might be worth mentioning. An autistic coded character is manipulate into believing her friends don't care about her. A lot of characters treat her differently and with little patience because of her difficulties in social interactions. This impacts her deeply as in season 4 she gives a speech about not belonging and heavily implies that she would rather die than return to said friends.

Overall the show is very inclusive and has a positive outlook on differences (except the bad guys). Scorpia sometimes cannot do things they way others do due to her having claws for hands. People in the Horde are not accommodating. Entrapta is on the spectrum and people are not always understanding, but still support her. SPOILERS: Hordak is revealed in season 3 to be a "defective" clone who was sent to die because of it.

There is a crashed spaceship seen in Season 3, episodes 2 and 3. Later in season 4, in the episode “Hero” a transmission is played of when that spaceship crashed.

No one drowns, but there is a moment where a character is overwhelmed by water and is showing having difficulty staying above said water. The scene is meant to be comical, but may still be disturbing for some.

Sci-fi type death ray blasters, but they are used in combat.
