I'm not at all surprised. I think it has played a big part in the "gender identity" culture crisis... among other things.

Adolescents spend all day pretending to be what they aren't while their brains are still developing. Living vicariously through their online avatars they are chronically deluded about the real-life self versus the online self-image.

In the virtual world, they can satisfy that part of their brain that likes to run, dance, fight, and engage in super edgy unbridled sex without breaking a sweat in reality land.

All the fun without the actual effort. Is it any wonder kids are too fat to have flesh-on-flesh sex in the back seat of a Corolla?
