I’m going to be a douche and copy/paste a comment I made to Jason’s “Video game aggression” article a few days ago, because I think it applies to the subject’s assertion that honesty with ourselves (as gamers) is the main ingredient missing from the “video games as a detriment” subject:

The point here is that she really doesn’t have an identity independent of the male original.
