Mods clearly don't know what is the meaning of the word rhetoric.
But my favorite still remain false equivalence. Countless times, what they define false equivalence are actually good equivalence.
Clearly, they use those as excuse to ban anyone have a different idea.

I remember when the Metallica forum closed down, and everyone had to join the "fan-club" forum, and straight away it was obvious that the people that were already members were fucking insane fanatics and folks lasted about 10 minutes before they ended up cloning the old forum and people just joined back up there, it was just too uncomfortable being around people like that, like they were an online asylum... Resetera is on a whole other level. It's like being among non-humans. Like the Body Snatchers or some shit. Some Heaven's Gate shit or something, i can't quite put my finger on it.

He has a point. They aren't offering any incentives. Scarcity doesn't exist for a digital preorder. It is likely over a year away. The game is definitely getting made and released so your preorder isn't ensuring development.
The hyperbole is over the top because at the end of the day it is other peoples' money and who cares. I cared enough to write this post simply because I am tangentially involved in business finance and giving a supplier money before you need to is anathema, so the different behavior of fans vs. logical financial actors is interesting.

Fascination with loli artwork comes from a fetishization of Japanese kawaii culture and the cuteness fetish surrounding it(something admittedly very Japanese in concept and far distant from things in the West, but nonetheless visible when it comes to those who dive deep into the anime culture), not an attraction to children. Its an easy association to make, but the easiest way I can explain this is that loli characters commonly carry so many traits that aren't representative of real children. It varies from art piece to art piece of course, but generally there's a lack of texture to the character's skin, sometimes the faces don't even have noses, odd body proportions, discolored hair, and even differences in how the characters act. These differences are important; they create something that is alien and distinctly different from something that'd people would look at and see a child in. At the very least, people don't look at loli artwork and see it in the same way they would a child. I can understand the concern and distrust over it of course, but its still a far jump and libelous to use cartoon anime characters as a basis for making as harsh a claim as that Era is full of pedophiles. Pedophile isn't a term to be thrown around lightly; it should be used when there's a very clear guarantee that someone is attracted to children. Something like these aforementioned posts (I'll quote them at the end of this post). Those are actual legitimate pieces of evidence of pedophilia. Yet they're hidden behind....piles and piles of screenshots about fictional video game and anime characters. Which at least, from my point of view, is useless and only exists to harm people the OP didn't understand and the anime community at large.

you're trying to justify using cartoons as evidence of anything legitimate and the usage of said cartoons to instigate harassment over real world problems.
Or, to put it better: You're conflating people who look at anime porn as being in the same category as people that want to diddle little Timmy.
EDIT: I mean I get it. It looks similar and its an easy comparison to make but...try to look at the differences such art has. Those differences are important. And try to consider the culture where such art comes from; the idea is moreso how people are attracted to "cute" anime characters with absurd traits. Not to go full furry, but consider it comparable to those strange people that make porn of Hello Kitty. They're not drawing it cause they wanna diddle cats. They draw it because Hello Kitty is cute.

EDIT: You're focusing on the similarities such art has with pedophillic attractions while ignoring the differences which are important. Lest all furries be zoophiles because they're attracted to things with animal traits.

Maybe at face value, then you have all tjose guys going crazy for that Japanese woman being all cute and "just like one of my animes". It's a gateway drug for shut in social outcast guys who hit puberty and think that anime depicts a hyper realized version of relationships. Look at how Squiddo described his underaged girlfriend " she soo cuute". According to that tweet thread it mentioned someone that was 12 dating someone in thier 20's. Not proof of course it was him but proof it was common.

He would if his job wasn’t literally to promote and hype videogames.
Like if someone does car reviews for a living, then calls people morons for being too into cars, he would just be an asshole.
If someone wrote about football for a living then decided football fans are idiots. Again you are biting the hand that feeds you. You are a hypocrite as well.
Wouldn’t be surprising if he also thinks gamers are “generally a toxic crowd” despite the fact that he is a game journalist calling people morons. He’s just too oblivious for his own good

One can think Loli stuff is gross and weird and also understand that not all (or probably even most) of the people who draw or or look at it have any desire to fuck kids. Unlike being caught with actual child porn (real pictures/videos).
It’s just weird, anime/Japanese niche culture shit. Look at all the JRPGs with kid like characters that are supposed to be in their 20s or 30s (or thousands of years Old like that dragon chick in Fire Emblem).
I find it gross, but I’m not going to assume that everyone that enjoys it is an actual pedo predator in absence of other evidence (like the one person they found also admitting to having sex with a minor).

Didn’t read the article as don’t want to give the site a click, but from the title and what was said about it he called people who preorder games without any bonuses for doing so morons.
Harsh, but hard to argue with how many games end up broken and glitchy at launch, how many hyped games end up disappointing and so on.
Even more so with digital preorders way in advance as it’s not like you can’t just wait and preorder and preload in the days before launch once reviews are out (if not embargoed until after launch which is a red flag anyway).

I've been under the "don't preorder shit" mantra for awhile, but I still find it odd that the RPS writer is finally maintaining this stance with a CDProject game. Of all the developers and publishers out there, you'll at least likely get your money's worth with a game they make.
Was this author repeating similar things about Anthem and Fallout 76, where it would have been warranted?
Also depending on the storefront most consumers won't have their money taken until the game comes out.....

Tbh my issue wasn’t really the stance on pre order or not, it’s an option, and adult consumers can make their mind as to how they want to purchase a product. My issue is the use of “morons”, the elitist scorn combined with divisive language. And these game journalists have the balls to say that gamers are toxic, when they act like the very shitheads they constantly call out. Just the same old projection/hypocrisy

That site is a cesspool, but it was an article about Steam sales charts and Cyberpunk being number 1 from digital preorders when it doesn’t come out for a long while.
Preordering a physical collector’s edition makes perfect sense as those do tend to be limited. Digital preorders make less sense as those are infinite and you can generally preorder even minutes before unlock and still get any digital preorder bonuses. So it makes more sense to wait for reviews since so many games launch buggy as hell and so many hyped games disappoint. With a physical collector’s edition at least you get all those goodies you wanted even if the game ends up being a let down.
That said, I couldn’t care less what others shopping habits are and it’s not worth calling people morons over. Plus with Steam there’s no immediate charge and it’s super easy to cancel preorders so it’s not that big a deal. Vs say PSN preorders in the US which until a couple months back charged immediately and couldn’t be canceled and refunded unless you got a friendly customer service rep willing to make a “one-time exception.”
