I used the search to see whether there was a similar topic, and stumpled upon this thread: "Bosses saying disturbing things". However, it's not just the bosses, NPCs are not exactly picking their words in a kid friendly manner, either.
The most recent example I can think of was the NPC "Eleanor Abernathy", otherwise known as the "Crazy Firecat Lady". It was not just the wording, either ("My sister lives in a poorly decorated house up the street from me, with her Blockhead of a husband, who she stole from me years ago" but also the delivery by the voice actress. All of this was basically yelled in a murderous growl. God.
I'm fine with the time-honored "good vs evil" kind of strife that comes with kid media and is probably good for teaching morals or such something - but this kind of disturbingly specific toxic family relationship is just not that. It's the kind of stuff kids better have less of, quite frankly.
I can't think of specific NPCs, but some bosses struck me the same way. It's a little weird at times, when you play as an adult and wonder about how a kid might take it.
I would just like to leave a suggestion here to maybe overthing this NPCs wording, and ask - has anyone encountered something similar recently?
I love more mature stuff, but yeah this specific quest made me feel sick. :/ Not because of how the sisters treated each other, it's whatever, it plays into a kind of meme, but omg, I was just like, "LEAVE HER omgg " about the husband. He deserves a happy ending at least, without putting him with the other sister who calls him a blockhead though.
It'd be nice if they redid the ending, getting him to leave them both. At least then I can be happy at the end instead of legitimately having to walk away for a sec to cool off lol.

The edit-button never appeared for my post, I am not sure why. :( So here go my corrections:
1. stumbled upon this thread
2. “with her blockhead of a husband, whom she stole from me years ago”
3. or some such thing
4. maybe rethink this NPCs wording
Sorry, but English is not my first nor my second language, so I have to edit sometimes. :/
" about the husband. He deserves a happy ending at least, without putting him with the other sister who calls him a blockhead though.
