There is a hunting scene in the first season where some pigs are killed and cooked, another scene where main character non lethally catches a bird with a fishing rod, and then a scene where a bunch of dogs run for their lives before their owner gets killed.

In the first season, a hunter exam participant uses venomous snakes as a form of attack and sets up a trap involving many snakes trapping Gon, Leorio, Kurapika, and Ponzu in a cave by blocking the exit and threatening to bite.

If you interpretate the Zoldycks torturing Killua means they do the same to all their kids, that means Illumi and Milluki would fall into this.

Killua comes from a family of assassins who abuse him, which he mentions nonchalantly most times, as if it is a usual occurrence. During the Zoldyck Family arc following the Hunter Exam arc, this is explicitly seen. Killua’s sister Alluka is also mistreated by their family.

Gaslighting, another way of saying emotional manipulation, happened most realistically with Killua’s abusive family dynamics shown later on. Clearly many kinds of supernatural villains do this in all kinds of fantastical situations, but for many, this bit might come too close to home.

(This whole explanation may contain spoilers even though I did my best to avoid them haha.)There are plenty of scenes with blood and injuries. The main protagonist is stubborn and often gets himself hurt. There is a scene where he lost about half of his arm, but he recovers quickly and keeps both arms. There is a whole arc where children are fighting adults, and while the children are usually more powerful than these adults, as they progress further it becomes more difficult for them and the main protagonist gets beat up a couple times. Also, in another arc there is quite a lot of death, both human and not. A dangerous man-eating hybrid species develops and a lot of people die due to this. In one scene a character gets their arm cut off by one of these creatures, and although it is not shown on screen, their head gets cut off and they die. (Since this is a pretty relative scene in the show, in this next part I’ll be as careful as possible when referring to characters to avoid spoilers haha.) One character becomes extremely angry over their friend’s death and uses their nen ability to grow and become as powerful as possible. They kill one of the creatures (rather brutally, though the creature doesn't have human blood) and ends up nearly dying themself. So overall, yes this show has gore.

During the Hunter Exam arc, specifically Gon’s fight with Hanzo, Hanzo breaks Gon’s arm. The actual act is not seen, but everything leading up to it is and you can hear a crack followed by Gon’s scream of pain. Bones are implied to have been broken due to the amount of damage they sustain throughout the show.

i dont think there is any medical amputation, but many characters lost limbs throughout the series .
gon loses his arm twice, but it gets reattached each time .
in a fight, hisoka loses both his arms, they are later reattached .
in the third season, two minor characters are beheaded .
kaito loses his arm and later his disembodied head is shown being held in neferpitous lap .
king meruem cuts of his own arm .
netero loses an arm and a leg .
neferpitou loses their arm and then their head shortly after during their fight with gon . this is also where gon loses an arm .
there is also a character called neon and she enjoys collecting body parts ! sometimes the body parts are shown, but its nothing terribly graphic . she is in the third season .

If you watch the Crunchyroll sub, they translate what Leorio calls the female prisoner into a slur. Any other subtitles and the dub use 'crossdresser.'

A character doesn't states displeasure that a choice they made makes them temporally appear pregnant.
A different character very substantially alters their apperarence to change most aspects of their appearence to be more like how they want to look, and is very keen to avoid being seen in their unaltered state.

There are repeated cases of self harm by many characters, usually to further a goal and not necessarily as an act of self-hatred. 3 of the 4 main characters use self harm as a means to an end. Gon in particular regularly puts himself in unnecessary danger, and then finally, in one of the later episodes of the series, commits an extreme act of intentional self harm that ends rather badly for him.

Judas is mentioned and there are other minimal religious references, but no slander against any religions. Killua has a star of david on his yo-yo, but that is the only reference to Judaism we see. (It also looks like the nen type chart so it might not even be a star of david)

I cannot remember any instance of jokes made by characters about fat people. You may consider the anime to be making fun of fat characters for being so.
One fat character is presented in a comedic manner as being particularly gluttonous. Another is presented as lazy, though talented in a way counter his family's norms.

Upsetting death of a black man in the third season. He doesn't die first but... the show builds up how he's this dog dad with a girlfriend and a life ahead of him... it's rough man... Could be triggering for some poc who have experienced police brutality due to the fact he's pulled over while driving.

I do not understand the other comment. The presence of stereotypical gay characteristics does not mean the show in insulting it. Also just because a character is flamboyant, does not mean he is gay. Gays can be very masculine, femininine or somewhere in between. That is also true for straight types also. Being feminine does not automatically make someone not straight, and it is rude to call them gay as an insult, because they aren’t and being gay isn’t a bad thing.

a scene with a main character during the trick tower portions does include a couple things like this. he is enforced to touch a women to find out if shes “actually a girl” as a test, and also this same character suggests (in his head) putting kurapika in this position as well to counteract the same test, insinuating that he looks feminine.
