I’m not sure if this counts but throughout season 4 victims of Vecna see things other people can’t. When Max shows her friends where she saw the clock, the clock is no longer there. While this is not rly gaslighting it could be upsetting to people that she is seeing things that other people cannot, and it is causing Max panic.

SPOILERS: Season 4
Eleven seemingly forgives Dr. Brenner in their last scene together, and the whole thing is excessively sentimental and romanticized. Let’s not forget that he caged her like an animal and performed torturous experiments on her, like trying to get her to psionically kill a cat and punishing her for refusing.

near the end of s1ep5 there's a dying deer crying out it seems it was hit by a car and left to agonize, they were gonna shoot it to put the poor thing out of its misery but something quickly snatches it away, it's obviously computerized but still realist and painful to watch. Highkey upset that no one mentioned this before and that I had to see it myself

This scene is very realistic so if you have a phobia of this type of stuff I’d recommend skipping until the intro at around 4:20ish

The show kinda aged with the viewers, so if you were like 12 when you watched it first, they assumed by S4 that you would be "okay" with gore. S1 is the least gory, S2 is kinda "well here's a warning right now" and there are some iffy scenes but it's nothing compared S3 and S4, S3 has exploding rats and people(it is gross), and S4 is extremely graphic and I would look up when graphic scenes occur and avoid them if necessary.

[SPOILER WARNING] Season 3, a character destroys his childhood fort. It is shown throughout the seasons to have been one of his favorite places, and it was a sad scene to watch if you ask me. It wasn't priceless in money value, but was very much important emotionally. I guess it depends what you meant by that question.

It’s not confirmed or stated, but Robin is heavily implied to be autistic (she struggles with social cues, has “no filter”, is sensitive to loud noises and uncomfortable clothing, and took longer to learn to walk than average as a child), and I consider her to be good representation. It’s rare to see an adult autistic woman who’s funny, confident, and capable in a TV show.

billy's dad calls him a f*ggot. there are also racist implications in his actions; he tries to keep max away from lucas, and no reason is given other than the implication that it's because he's dark-skinned. (props to the brothers for making a realistic central indiana from the 80's, i guess.) not to mention that in the very first episode, the bullies make fun of lucas's race by calling him midnight.

There isn't antisemitism, but a character who is experimented on has a shaved head and a tattoo of a number on her arm, which are very likely allusions to Josef Mengele's experiments during the Holocaust.

Karen Wheeler and other women who look to be late 30s(maybe early 40s) have an interest towards Billy, who I believe is 19, in season 3. Billy asks out Karen for "swimming lessons" which she at first accepts but then changes her mind. Sure he is above 18 but still a pretty big maturity difference.

sex scene between a 15 year old and 16 year old, she is wearing a bra and he is shirtless but other than that you don’t really see anything. the scene is not supposed to be positive (but there is no assault). two characters are shown kissing before going into a bedroom together, you don’t see anything but a joke is made about it later. there is a mention of an orgy and a character jokingly talks about two characters sleeping with each other since middle school. two characters have a semi brief discussion about boobs in season 4. you see a man and a woman laying together after having sex. this character starts moaning in the middle of the cafeteria (in a teasing way)

Billy had toxic masculinity forced on him after his parents divorced and his father verbally abuses him for crying. Jonathan details a time where he cried after his dad shot a rabbit, it’s not confirmed if he was ridiculed over it but it’s an easy inference to make and there’s talk of the dad being insensitive to Will’s emotions. El is ridiculed for crying but she's a girl and eventually kicks the ass of the main bully anyways.

No dementia, but I don't know if this could be triggering: In season 2 a woman (who does not have dementia) is stuck for years in a continuous cycle of flashbacks where she sees the same memories repeated. She only says the same few words over and over. Her flashback cycle is shown in S2 Ep 5 and again at the very start of episode 7, but it's an important part of the plot

S4 Episode 4 from 40:25-42:01 there is a LOT of gunfire. Automatic gunfire so it's really intense. Would recommend skipping ahead, all you need to know is the main characters in this particular scene are under attack. Won't miss anything huge by skipping.
S4 Episode 4 between 29:42-31:10 there is a lot of gunfire and a big explosion. You can also skip this part but it is a bit more essential to the plot.
