They censored last night a bit, too. Though all the strange black spots were in the original that I saw, as well. Which is kinda weird since you'd then randomly see uncensored bloody stumps squirting blood mid-scene.
As for taking advantage of sexual assault, I guess I can't really see it as unheard of in most of the show's cases. We all know some gamers are pretty sexually repressed assholes, to the point they'd probably qualify for the incel term. People in power also love to abuse the shit out of their positions, with the game world just sort of adding a coded hierarchy to the abuse. Probably the only real one I'd call out of place was Asuna's parents trying to marry her off to a way older dude while she was in a coma, and of course his Snow White/Prince Charming complex going nutso in Alfheim. But after a point, we do have to unfortunately acknowledge that some of it is the author inserting his own personal fetish fuel and has likely had a shit relationship history of his own.
