The vid I linked to basically said that the game is ok but derivative and not that great. The main point he was making is to point out how the "controversy" around the game doesn't actually exist. It's a bunch of made up crap by grifters to make idiots foam at the mouth. And it worked. And now these idiots think Stellar Blade is the next coming of Christ and the bullwark against the woke mind virus games blah blah blah...

Misogyny in stuff can be really complicated. Sometimes you can only really see it holistically, and sometimes it's only in specifics. Sometimes a story will give a woman a lot of focus, place her feelings and emotions in the spotlight and give her actions the most agency and power over the plot- while also having her be inexplicably dressed in lingerie the whole time with a really weak excuse, if any.

Like, I love FF12. Ashe is undisputably the actual main character in it, and her story is about being a person with authority in a time of war. It's about grappling with your own grief and desire for revenge, trying to keep in mind your principles and what you believe in. It somehow manages to be both about the divine right of kings and weapons of mass destruction and maintained it's emotional thru line almost all the way to the end!

But also, Ashe, that hot pink mini-skirt? Girrrrrl, WTF, you live in a desert. You're gonna fight things in a skirt made of two pink napkins? There's no real reason for her to dress like that, and it's definitely just for fan service!

I still love the game, but I acknowledge that it has that problem. It objectifies women because it treats them as visual treats and has them dress in bizzare ways that don't flow adequately from their characterization. This is because of structural societal things, and it sucks for a bunch of reasons.

Bayonetta is different primarily because the work's themes are, as I understand them, incredibly positive about women being active, powerful sexual people who do what they want.

B dresses like that because she likes being hot, and it's a characterization tool, and it's never a disempowering thing for her.

Like, Kill la Kill has ridiculous outfits, but I've had multiple women tell me they love it because of how it intersects with things they like. I wasn't going to watch it until one of them insisted and, yeah, it's pretty good. The sexual elements are intended and used as part of the narrative, and the emotional thru line is very strong.

So, it's one of those things that needs an exhaustive breakdown to really know about in a work. I don't know enough about this one to say, and I'm just commented in hopes that it's useful for you or someone else looking at doing media analysis of this type.
