I think that's overanalyzing it. It's just a journalist that aims every gamer (or anyone that reads rock paper shotgun, not sure who that is) and got paid for that article, and decided to just... wrap the whole FFXIV thing because the longer the article, the more he gets paid for it. Plus he has a thing against ERP, and he thinks that makes him a vigilante, or something, but hey, everyone got an ego.

My whole opinion on that is just "Another article that's empty and not interesting, but at least, it's not that bad. Don't care, but I sure am glad my cosplay isn't in this."
