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.

Shadow Weaver is never shown drinking, but there are scenes of her coming home, slurring her words, to abuse small children.
She is heavily implied to be drunk at least twice.

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.

Sort of. I am an autistic person, and I really really really relate to the canon autistic character, Entrapta. There are just a lot of problems with her portrayal. People are constantly putting her on leashes and telling her that she is weird and just being really mean to her. The people that do this to her are the good guys, and no body ever tells them that what they are doing is wrong. These scenes are incredibly difficult to watch. I love Entrapta and she is really relatable, but I wish that they had shown that these unkind, ableist actions are not okay, rather than just letting them go unnoticed.

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.

Sort of. Catra often says things that are very close to suicidal thoughts, and she will often throw herself into situations that could very well get her killed. She has very self-destructive tendencies and some of the scenes of her when she is saying things that are close to suicidal thoughts could be very triggering.

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 are instances of weird space vehicles being driven super carelessly, though.

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.

A portal is opened, which causes the very threads of space time to unwind. Later, a weapon stored within a planet is set off and the entire planet begins to unwravel.

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