Some characters have Sole severe trauma, but the main character might have PTSD caused by the trauma he went through since he was a child (this might also be the cause of his split personality)

A baby chick is crushed off-screen (sounds are heard) during a sort of story-telling sequence, then eaten by a deformed slime-covered chick on-screen. Also, a man is turned into a fish and left on the ground to die.

In season 2 one of the main characters is shown tricking her mother's boyfriend into having s*x with her by taking over her mother's body. This is already mentioned in season 1 although no pictures are shown then. It is not seen as rape within the show although it is made clear that her mother's boyfriend did not consent. The character does not face consequences for her action.

Sort of. It's not really scary though. It's not a horror show and the possession is treated from a mental health point of view.

A lot, mixed with surround sound effects. They are tied to the character's mental state (hallucinations, schizophrenia, blurred perception of reality) and are really effective and disturbing. They are part of the visual style of the show and happen in almost every episode.

Confusion is shown towards a character who goes by they/them pronouns, who exists as multiple ambiguously gendered bodies. They are called he and she at various times. The bodies are also referred to as "women with mustaches" by one person.

SPOILER
A lesbian (possibly bi) dies early in the show. Due to the particular way the show handles the concepts of time and reality she actually is a main character despite being dead.
