Violence
Supernatural features gory deaths of both human and supernatural characters by a variety of means in most episodes. Guns and knives, as well as other weapons are commonly used. Blood, human organs, as well as dead and dismembered bodies are frequently seen. That content is reflected in the content of the SuperWiki.
Sexual Violence
While never explicitly stated, it is strongly suggested that sexual violence and rape are tools of torture in Hell. On a number of occasions Dean makes veiled references to it and Lucifer strongly hints that he sexually abused Sam while he was in Lucifer's Cage.
There are broader issues related to dubious or non consensual acts throughout the show particularly related to the possession of humans by both angels and demons, Sam's "body swap"experience in 5.12 Swap Meat, and the use of "love spells" in 4.08 Wishful Thinking and 7.08 Season Seven, Time for a Wedding!.
There are number of fan essays written on these topics linked on the Meta Essays entry.
Slurs
In 3.05 Bedtime Stories when Sam talks about the details of the fable of Cinderella, Dean says "Dude, could you be more gay?".
The slur "prostitute" is used by characters in both 3.04 Sin City and 8.14 Trial and Error. Throughout the SuperWiki the term sex worker is always used.
A number of gendered insults, particularly "bitch", are used liberally through all seasons.
Suicide
This section lists episodes where suicides or suicide attempts are shown on screen. More detail will be found at each episode entry.
