Maeglin comes with a number of content/trigger warnings, including:
1. Massively controlling father (both towards him and towards his mother) - this for example includes that he felt it within his right to set his son in bonds if challenged, or not permit either wife or son to walk past specific boundaries that he set/not go places if not at his side.
2. The relationship of his parents has clear abusive notions, including questionable sexual consent;
3. Themes of what is perceived as love (of a person rejecting that feeling) turning ugly and making the desired person/people into objects that can be possessed (Eöl->Aredhel/Maeglin and Maeglin->Idril).
The only thing that his father perceived as challenging his claim on/power of disposition over Maeglin and Aredhel was a rivalling claim that he perceived Aredhel's brother having on her (but not on their son), not any claim that they might have in themselves (This seems to be a pretty singular notion in Beleriand, but it is likely that Eöl's followers at least didn't contest it, so he grew up with that for 80 years, not meeting anyone else during that time; it was countered by his mother as good as she could, but still left an impression).
4. incest (wanting to marry his cousin);
5. parental death (his father tried to kill him and killed his mother instead and then was executed for the murder);
6. war and battle things;
7. fantasy racism, on both ends of the stick (Noldor vs Sindar in both directions (he's half/half - both sides feel like they're the far superior option) and Elves vs humans).
