Qrow is seen drinking or drunk in every onscreen appearance. Played for laughs in the first few volumes, but is taken more seriously later on. Weiss’s mother is stated to be an even worse alcoholic, being completely distant from her child while she grew up, while she’s constantly drinking. She is seen downing an entire bottle in Volume 7.

Not directly. However, there is implication that an antagonist and a main protagonist once held a romantic relationship (he calls her 'my love' and 'darling' in the third season). This seemingly ended when said protagonist started at Beacon, when she was 17. It is not far-fetched to assume the antagonist is in his mid-20s, which does have some uncomfortable implications.

From Tock's Amity Arena description "Still, she could never give up playing with her food, as that was the privilege of a predator, and nothing made Tock feel more alive- ...than dancing with Death." While Tock is not described as being a cannibal in canon I think it's certainly a valid interpretation that she may have displayed some cannibalistic tendencies towards her victims.

In volume 8 episode 9, Hazel holds Salem down and sets himself on fire, burning them both alive. They are both vaporised by a giant explosion after about 10 seconds. Hazel dies permanently but Salem comes back due to her immortality. In the volume 8 finale, Watts is sealed in a burning building and burned to death. Additionally although it does not result in death, In Volume 3 episode 4 a man’s head is thrown on top of a geyser which erupts as he screams. His aura protects him from any serious burns or injuries but it’s still worth mentioning.

In Volume 9 Neo is possessed by an evil otherworldly entity which gives her an unnaturally wide creepy smile with razor sharp teeth. In the next episode, the possessed Neo creates illusions of a zombified Ruby to taunt Yang

During their fight, Yang seemingly breaks Mercury’s leg although it’s revealed in the next episode he has prosthetic legs and faked his injury to frame her. A minor character has an arm broken after it hits a tunnel while on a moving train. Tyrian intentionally dislocates his own hand in order to escape restraints, before snapping it back into place. Cinder kills her step-mother by snapping her neck.

After being stabbed in the chest twice with no aura, a villain falls of a cliff and smashes their body smashes against a rock, before falling into a river. They are dead by the time they hit the water. Multiple characters presumably fall to their deaths at the end of Volume 8, but they are shown in the next volume to have survived.

In Volume 3, a character has their right eye burned off by a bright light (mostly obscured and they wear an eyepatch for the rest of the series). In Volume 6, a character has both eyes cut off by a sword. Another character has a branding burned into their eye. In Volume 8, a character’s eye is disfigured and converted into a monster.

There is a sort of secret police group in Atlas that is shown up by the main characters. Through the volume they sort of make friends, but when these people are told to arrest the main characters, they do so immediately and without question - "just following orders", despite this action inevitably being harmful to the greater citizenship of Atlas. This is not represented in a pro-police way.

A lot of people in Remnant have some sort of mental illness from traumatic experiences such as loss of a loved one, almost dying, being abused as children, witnessing deaths, being abandoned. Therapy seems to be not an option and many become obsessed with revenge or causing others unimaginable pain. Salem is one such individual, Hazel another.

Yeah Klein is a butler with seven alters, all based on the seven dwarves of snow white. The D.I.D is mostly played for laughs, except in a few serious scenes (the character is not demonized, however) and is inaccurate to reality.

no, but as the show has continued Ruby (and also Jaune) have become more and more self-deprecating and, especially with Jaune at the end of Vol. 5, are shown to be very self-sacrificial. Passive suicidiation is becoming more prevalent in Ruby's behaviour and speech.

Ruby’s mental health in Volume 9 rapidly deteriorates, further pushed along by Neo and the Curious Cat psychologically torturing her, until the point she actively despises herself and has absolutely no confidence whatsoever, culminating in her curled up on the floor crying, wishing to stop existing and be reborn as someone else entirely. After having her arm cut off in Volume 3, Yang is initially very self-conscious of their arm being gone forever, and even refuses to use a prosthetic arm for several days for this reason.

Not in the show itself, but one of the novels, RWBY After the Fall. It's also mentioned one of the main characters in said novel is claustrophobic due to an incident when she was younger.

Ruby knowingly drinks a poisoned tea to ascend to an ethereal location to “change herself.” She is resurrected with no difference to herself, although the scene when it first plays is framed like a suicide attempt. Although not outright suicide, a character enters a fight knowing fully well they will lose and won’t survive. An immortal character attempts suicide several times in Volume 6 but fails. A major character begs someone to kill them in the Volume 8 finale, which they do.

Yang in Volumes 4-6. Ruby and Jaune in Volume 9. Ruby and Yang have flashbacks of traumatic events during these timeframes.

Mild offensive language use - a character calls someone a bitch in volume 5 after the latter cuts off his tail, a character calls another a bastard, there are some uses of the word "damn".

The Yellow trailer has a lot of this, as it takes place during a nightclub attack. Volume 8 episode 10 comes with an epilepsy warning at the start of the episode because of a giant strobe-like explosion that happens about 2 minutes into the episode and lasts for 45 seconds. This explosion happens suddenly out of nowhere mid conversation so be cautious while watching the start of the episode. In Volume 9 episode 6 time is rapidly rewound causing it to quickly flash between night and day, causing a strobe-like flash of light and dark for 10-15 seconds until the flow of time is restored to normal. This episode also comes with a seizure warning at the start but if you are sensitive to flashing lights, look away when Jaune approaches a tree with a clock on it.

An external novel states that Salem’s mother died during childbirth. This fact, nor anything about Salem’s parents, are never brought up in the show itself.

No - one character is superficially based on Coco Chanel (as all characters in this series allude to either a fairy tale or a pop culture reference), who was famously a Nazi sympathizer and a fashion designer, but the character herself is not antisemitic and as far as I am aware there is no antisemitism present in the show.

A two episode arc in season two consists of a male character joking to another "if you don't get a date to the dance, i'll wear a dress" and following through on that promise. the crowd at the dance laughs at him, but he seems largely comfortable and he is not harassed during or after for it.

May Marigold mentions her family had said something about a son and she mentioned something about not being their daughter then, if they won't accept her as she is now. I'm mega paraphrasing

Neon has a big mouth and starts implying Yang needs to go on a diet. There is nothing "wrong" with Yang's figure, she's slim. Cinder goes to say "you're Little Miss Malachite?" as if to say there is nothing "little" about this woman, is swiftly put in her place

The Humans VS Faunus plotline is a pretty bad race metaphor that carries on throughout the series. Faunus are often misrepresented as violent, "filthy" criminals and animals by humans.

A bandit hits on one of the main characters (Yang) at a fuel station bar. She flatly refuses his advances twice, which he ignores. He comments on her figure saying she’s not too bulky and not too lean, and he attempts to creepily caress her hair without consent (which finally gets him punched).

A few sexual references as gags. A girl calls Yang “Top Heavy,” A joke about an inkeepers skirt length being short, A female character slaps a Male characters ass, A character accidentally see’s up a friends skirt. The most explicit thing is a mystical blue female genie-like character in Volune 6 who wears next to nothing and shows a lot of cleveage, but any genitalia is covered.

You could interpret Cinder's grimm arm taking over her as being a chronic illness. It certainly has flares where she is in extreme pain.

Freya from Vol. 7, an old woman and the winter maiden, talks about forgetting a lot of things, only remembering specific details. This could easily be seen as Dementia or Alzheimer's.

The series is still ongoing so no definitive answer at the moment. As for individual volumes, Some volumes do have unhappy endings, most notably Volumes 3, 7 and 8, which have really dark and depressing endings.

Most attacks don't cause any blood, because all the characters have magical shields that protect them. However, occasionally characters will get injured when their shields are depleted, and this will result in visible blood.
