What I meant was that if we should avoid these things in real life because they are triggering for some people. For example, in class, should the teacher avoid teaching about something because it's triggering for someone? No, they will most likely issue a warning and give the person the option of not attending. It should be the same in a television series. We shouldn't avoid it because of a few people. Giving a warning and properly portraying it in a non-glorified manner should suffice. It is up to the individual whether or not to watch.
While it is true that morality is not thrown out the window simply because it is set in a mafia setting, you should keep in mind that it is not thrown out for US, the audience. The characters, who are members of a mafia family, clearly do not share the same moral standards as the audience. The choices they make are morally wrong in our opinion, but not in theirs. It is the writer's and director's responsibility to properly portray the fact that these choices are indeed wrong and have consequences. My mentioning that this was a mafia setting was simply to emphasize that this series has a dark theme and that such acts should be expected. If you can't handle it, you shouldn't watch it. There are a lot of questionable choices and events in this book; if those are removed, what is the point of the series if everything is sugar coated?

I completely agree with you. As a criminal justice major, I am constantly exposed to a variety of situations involving sexual assault, drugs, and other issues. I understand that sexual assault is morally wrong, but does that mean it should not be depicted? No, it simply means that it should not be romanticized or glorified in any way. It should be exposed for what it is: a morally repugnant act with serious consequences. The key factor in this is how the director chooses to depict it. Personally, I am opposed to having those scenes removed simply because some people want it. People must understand that this book is about the mafia. There are some dark things going on in the mafia that aren't all pink and roses. Things other than rape and sexual assault. If you're not comfortable with those things, skipping this is your best bet. If we avoid portraying those things because they may be triggering, should we also avoid them in real life because they may be triggering?
It does kinda make sense. I am at ep 5 where she fires the female lead. Edit: Juts saw it was the plan of the ML but in any case sml does seem annoying
