Charlie stalks the waitress throughout the whole show. It’s never scary for the viewer since Charlie is one of the protagonists but the things he does are objectively very creepy.
It may be comforting to know that the actors who play these two characters are married in real life.

Women are victims of violence from time to time but it is never “for spectacle” (and there is plenty of violence against the male characters too). It is always clear that the violence is wrong.

There are a LOT of depictions of addiction. The whole gang is addicted to alcohol and begins to get sick if they don’t have any. Frank is Bill Ponderosa’s AA sponsor and they regularly do drugs together. Dennis and Dee get addicted to crack in two separate episodes (season 2 episode 3 and season 11 episode 2). Cricket is also addicted to drugs.

Frank becomes involved in a child beauty pageant in which one of the main organizers was “diddling kids”. It is later revealed that the child welfare “inspector” who has attended rehearsals throughout the episode is also a pedophile and he is arrested.
This episode could be very triggering considering the pedophilic nature of child beauty pageants and the multiple references to pedophiles.

A character frequently manipulates and coerces women into having sex with them. They talk about “the implication” of being trapped on a boat and not being able to say no to sexual advances. A main character assaults another main character off screen, and it is described in detail in Times Up for the Gang. In that episode a character calls their old secretaries and it’s heavily implied they assaulted/harassed them.

A character is missing an eye, but the losing of the eye was off screen. He wears an eyepatch with an eye drawn on it. It is described that another character stabbed his eye, but then is revealed a bird pecked it out. Another character’s eye seems to have a cataract or something similar after having his face burned in a fire off screen. A main character attempts to give himself plastic surgery and his eye becomes red and swollen.

In “The Gang Gets Held Hostage,” Frank and Charlie are crawling through the vents. In both parts of “The Gang Goes to Hell” (but particularly part 2), the gang is in “boat jail” which basically looks like a metal box with no windows and a locked door. The boat rocks/tips over and the door ends up on the ceiling, so they get stuck. Then the room starts to fill with water and they drown. SPOILER: they do not actually die. This scene could be very stressful to claustrophobic people. In “The Gang Goes to a Water Park”, several people get stuck in a water slide.

Charlie stalks The Waitress throughout the whole show. While his actions are objectively creepy, it’s not portrayed in a very scary way.
It may help to know that Charlie and The Waitress are married in real life.

This episode is shown entirely from Frank’s perspective so the characters look into the camera when speaking to Frank.
The fourth wall is not usually broken.

A main character’s grandfather was a nazi, and there are videos of them as children unknowingly giving the nazi salute. Someone puts on an old nazi uniform, but it seems it was not malicious. There are arguments about whether calling someone a jew instead of jewish is antisemetic. A character is referred to as a “jew lawyer”.

In the first seasons a trans woman is called a “dude” and he/him. A cis character dates her and tries to keep it secret, and is later teased for being in a relationship with her. In Mac Fights Gay Marriage someone says the trans woman’s marriage to a man is gay. The trans woman is asked insensitive and invasive questions by a couple characters.

The gang is constantly shown being racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc against various minority groups. Minorities are not misrepresented by the show itself, only by the characters who are intended to be bad people - the joke is how wrong the characters are in their assumptions.
(Example: Frank assumes someone gets in a car accident because they are Asian, but it is shown that the car accident was his fault and he is only being racist)

A family of minor characters are shown to have incestuous relations and are the product of generations of incest. In Who Got Dee Pregnant episode a brother is led to believe he accidentally hooked up with his sister, but that’s later shown to be untrue.

At times, Dennis and Dee suspect that Frank is “losing it” due to his age. He gets confused sometimes, but not to the point of it being dementia.

To add to the above, there is an anti-abortion rally, but those ideas are not being promoted. It’s more about the gang being insensitive and using the rally as a way to pick up women. Dee expresses that she’s pro-choice. So I would say no, the themes are at the very least neutral.

Multiple fake Santas are in the Christmas episode, some looking obviously fake to everyone but a very young Charlie. A mall Santa later briefly speaks out of character, before another character attacks him.
