Ouran High School Host Club
Anime • 2006 • Romance

Kyouya's father Yoshio is introduced — via a flashback — as someone who has very high expectations of him. What stands the most is Yoshio slapping Kyouya in front of the host club, their customers, and the customers' parents. This causes quite a stir, especially as it was hard enough to knock Kyouya to his knees, after his glasses. It's also heavily implied that it isn't the first time Yoshio has hit Kyouya — Yoshio's brief interaction with Tamaki's father Yuzuru, as well as how Kyouya brushed away the concerns of the host club, is pretty strong evidence of that fact.

spoilers! in episode 8, "the sun, the sea, and the host club," there are a couple boys that come upon female guests of the host club on a cliff. one of the boys throws a can of what can be assumed a sort of alcohol behind him, as they seem drunk.
also! there is a side character in episode 3, "beware the physical exam," that seems to be an alcoholic (there are bottles shown while he looks to be drunk). he also mentions that his family feels he doesn't know how to manage his money, and agrees with them.
in episode 10, "a day in the life of the fujioka family," haruhi's father recalls upon a day when, due to a family miscommunication, he becomes upset and gets drunk. he is brought home by a coworker to his young daughter.

Honey-senpai’s selling point is that he’s “the boy Lolita,” so he is designed to appeal to fans of shotacon (he looks young, but he’s actually 17)

Haruhi’s father is a drag queen and their birth name is used but the line between them being trans and a drag queen is a bit fuzzy because at the time it was written a trans charecter would not have been allowed. He is called his birth name in episode 10 “A Day In The Life Of The Fujioka Family

spoilers! in episode 8, "the sun, the sea, and the host club," the majority of the boys decide that they want to play a little game and find out what haruhi is afraid of. they cut through several scenes where they attempt to scare her, including a scene where they lock haruhi and honey inside the empty back of a large truck (which does have quite a bit of room inside). honey begins to panic and cry out, allowing us to understand that he may be claustrophobic, as he cries that he "can't breathe in here!" it only lasts a few seconds.

There’s a few jokes that break the fourth wall. For instance, one character asks if another is upset because he hasn’t gotten many lines, and one character will make references to the “previous episode”. All comedic and lighthearted.

Haruhi is mistaken for a boy at the school due to her appearance and is referred to as he/him for a large percentage of the show. Not technically misgendering but could be considered triggering. However haruhi's mother is referred to via transphobic slurs and while it is not explicitly stated that they identify as a woman it is heavily implied, yet they continue to be referred to with he/him pronouns. There is also an episode that touches on their preference for female clothes that could be triggering

In S1 E9 for a brief moment with the Zaku club at 11:21 on Netflix, they say “Heil Zuka Club” while doing the nazi salute in police or officer styled uniforms. Soon after, there is a scene of an altered Nazi flag that apparently has the Kanji for Maiden, however is very heavily styled as a Nazi Flag. No direct hate speech is said towards a Jewish person or presumed Jewish person, however there is this moment.

Haruhi's father/mother (genderfluid) is often used as a "man in a dress" joke and is often used as a transphobic joke against him, along with multiple slurs (ex., Tr/nny) because of him wearing a dress when he's on screen

Haruhi’s parent has been referred to with transphobic slurs a few times when they have been brought up. In S1E9 there are also some moments where the women in the Zuka club are disliked for being attracted to women(or liking women/multiple women at the same time). The president of the Host club said “Where is the fruitfulness in a girl being in love with another girl?! Why else would God have created Adam and Eve?!”. I don’t believe many or any slurs were used towards these women, however there is definitely not a lot or as much queer acceptance here, at least not towards wlw and trans people.
