issues of representation

Dark souls doesn't have issues with the way it portrays people, human women are often portrayed in positions of power; witches, seers, higher religious leaders, scholars, and some of the toughest warriors, they are seen as higher power and are respected greatly in dark souls. 
Sexuality isn't a theme in dark souls, there are no themes of gay people and trans. Races and cultures aren't included in dark souls, the game strays far away from anything and is just pure fantasy.
The game has something about being different as you play as a protagonist whose goal is to find and return the five Lords of Cinder to their thrones at Firelink Shrine in order to link the flame again. So the main protagonist is very different from everybody else in the game.The game basically says that different people have something hidden about them, hence why they stand out; that some people are afraid of different people because they don't understand them, hence why nearly everything tries to attack you in dark souls 3, because you are the only undead character, you're different.
The game obviously pays respect to both genders but dominantly focuses on female gender in the story line as one of the main characters in dark souls is the firekeeper who is a female.
The game portrays different fantasy races such as human obviously and irithyllian race which is fantasy, and doesn't contain stereotypes in terms of the way people are represented because the game builds it's races and story line on pure fantasy, fiction. Dark souls 3 doesn't lack racism or sexism, the game is pure fiction and therefore I don't expect real life terms to be cooperated into that.
