Not really gaslighting, as it's not deliberate, but there are some characters who go insane because people don't believe their reality. "The Sting" and "Insane in the Mainframe" both involve this sort of plot.

Flashbacks to Fry's childhood show his father being emotionally abusive. Mom also acts very abusively towards her adult sons, including insulting and slapping them regularly, and in flashbacks used them as human shields when they were infants. Amy's parents are emotionally abusive and are shown mocking her weight even when she reverts to a child.

Zapp Brannigan sexually harasses Leela on several occasions. The boys are forced to have sex with alien women in "Amazon Women in the Mood", though only Kif doesn't want to do it and he escapes. "Beast With a Billion Backs" treats Yivo's possession as a rape allegory and shkli claims shkli possessed them because "their universe dresses provocatively." Leela and Zapp are forced to have sex at the end of "In A Gadda De Leela."

In the episode "Amazon Women in the Mood" giant Amazonians sentence the male members of the crew to death "by snu-snu." Kif is rightfully horrified, but is mocked by the other men for being afraid of being shagged to death. The entire premise is treated as a joke, and most of the male characters enjoy the prospect of fatal snu-snu.

Many of the sewer mutants have a darkly comedic body horror to their designs. Some have tentacles, extra body parts, missing body parts, or body parts in the wrong place. They aren't scary, however, they're just trying to live their lives.

There's one offhand joke in S6 E15 Mobius Dick where Amy has a "Serengeti flashback" due to her history of Harpooning Giraffes. It's very likely not to trigger anyone due to the absurdity and unrealistic-ness of the portrayal, but it's still something worth noting.

Suicide booths are a running gag. Bender tries to commit suicide in the pilot episode and threatens it a few other times like in "Lethal Inspection" and "Ghost in the Machines." "The Sting" also has Leela contemplate "going to sleep forever" in a manner that's reminiscent of suicidal feelings. Fry jumps off a building in "Meanwhile" after thinking Leela stood him up, this scene is repeated many times.

Fry is heavily implied (via the "delta brain wave" plot point) to have a mental disorder and many characters make fun of him for being stupid. There's also some metaphorical ableism, i.e. Leela being bullied for having one eye and getting surgery to be "normal." There's also a robot character (Tinny Tim) who is always on crutches and is frequently mistreated if that counts.

Fry is biologically the same age as Leela, but he was cryogenically frozen for 1000 years before he met her, so take information how you will, and come to your own conclusions about their relationship.

Neutopia had a pretty central conflict revolve around sexually objectifying the women in the workplace to raise money.

There's a scene in Forty Percent Leadbelly where Leela purposefully poses provocatively in front of prisoners in order to get hooted at.

It's been hinted that the Professor is senile, but it's never outright stated if he has dementia/Alzheimer's.

There are some hobos who ride around on trains. They show up in a few episodes. Bender also temporarily travels with them for one episode.

Santa as we know him doesn't exist in this universe but a robot Santa was built in his place, but it is murderous.

The final series finale (pre-Hulu revival) has a bittersweet plot, but ends on a mostly happy note.

The rocket crashes at the end of every opening sequence, and a few more times in actual episodes.

"The Honking" is about a werecar that tries to run people over. It's not graphic at all, just surreal. There's also a bit in "The Duh-vinci Code" where Fry gets hit by a bus and sent to the hospital.
