The trouble with discussing player-hostile design in the Dark Souls series is that it legitimately does do some really interesting stuff with player-hostile design, but practically none of it is combat related. The series' reputation for player-hostile combat is almost entirely the product of people playing the games badly on purpose and acting like everybody else is doing it wrong.

[drdoomscrolling]

I think that an interesting point of comparison is the Nioh series, which has the exact opposite approach to player-hostile design than Dark Souls. Nioh's combat is brutally difficult and much more punishing than Dark Souls' (and imo has more obnoxious enemy types and encouter placements), but the game is otherwise incredibly accommodating to the player. Every game mechanic is clearly explained and often introduced with a nice tutorial, changing your build has no limit and practically no cost, levels can be replayed at any time, the story is given through conventional cinematic cutscenes (that you can rewatch at any time), the game clearly communicates your current objective, the mission select screen tells you the difficulty, loot and number of collectibles so that you know what to expect before going in etc. It even has a nifty mechanic that lets you change the appearance of your armour and weapons, so that you can completly decouple aesthetics from utility and wear whatever you want with no penalty to defense or rolling speed. Nioh practically coddles the player - and because its difficulty almost exclusively comes from combat, that aspect of the game can be ramped up and very demanding of the player, without making the entire experience seem too unfair/bullshit. By contrast, so much of Dark Souls' difficulty comes from the opacity of its systems and narrative, but its combat is much slower, more simplistic and forgivable.

Literally the very first thing that Roger Stern establishes about Monica Rambeau is that she's drop-dead gorgeous. And he's 100% right

i do think the concept of individual instances of male sexualization vs the pervasive sexualization of women in comics kicks peoples ass. because to be honest superhero comics have a long history of misogyny, and the way every female character is drawn as a pinup no matter the context of the panel is part of that. and there are plenty of cases where men are drawn to show off their ass or muscles, but its never to the same degree of objectification as it is to women. the costumes, the poses, the storylines, everything contributes to the disrespect female characters get in comics. not to mention, most times men are sexualized in a comic's art, its in a single panel and the rest of the book they are drawn normally. whereas with women, when an artist is sexualizing them, there are no panels in the book that dont have her arching her back or showing off her tits in some way. every time a man is sexualized its individual, and every time a woman is sexualized its contributing to a culture of misogyny
