Description

Most of the listed tags for this show are treated as jokes or made to be one liners. When something does happen, it is typically passed over quickly and nothing much comes of anything one way or another. It features suggestive dialogue, rape jokes, groping, mentions of past assault, forced kissing, and a male adult unknowingly has sex with an underage teenage girl. One character (Sergeant Hatred) is canonically a pedophile, and takes an experimental drug to alleviate his sexual urges. (It should be noted that the creators themselves admitted they went too far with his pedophilia as a running joke). Another character admits that both him and his brother were molested by Sergeant Hatred, but the brother can not remember the incident. Sergeant Hatred (in his early 50s) is married to a woman who is canonically 17 at the time. In one episode, one character wakes up in his prison cell to find his cellmate attempting to take off his prison uniform to rape him. This is played off as a joke as the two have an awkward conversation afterwards. While introduced, another character has very pedophilic undertones to his personality due to how sensual he acts towards the protagonist. However the creators have stated that he is canonically not a pedophile, only acting the way he does due to emotional scarring and trauma brought on by the death of his former side-kick. S3E6: two teen girls pin a boy down, kiss him, and take off his clothes while he tells them to stop. The girls are stopped by one of their guardians coming in.
