And worst of all, the scene with Asuna being groped isn't even about Asuna or the psychological damage she's suffering -- no, it's an excuse to further prove how evil Sugou is, because apparently Kawahara thinks his audience is so brain damaged they haven't noticed the giant red neon VILLAIN sign hanging over his head.

What's wrong with her being depowered in a new RPG, though? That's how the genre works; before becoming a demi-god badass, you've gotta do your time and kill some slimes. At level 1 you're pretty defenseless against all the world's creatures. Sugou could've easily done the same thing to her in Sword Art Online the November of 2022.
And I dunno, I don't think the molestation stuff is rubbing things in too thick. It's not altogether uncommon for terrible people in reality to relish in doing unnecessary terrible things. Just comes with the territory of being a sicko.
