I said this in another thread and it sums up my feelings about that article as well:

If a teenage kid (yes, 13+) is changed or influenced by violence or sex in videogames then I honestly believe they have issues. I'll be 22 this year. I've been into videogames since my early childhood. My parents let me play violent videogames when I was 10+ (to my surprise). I've grown up to be perfectly fine. I do not think downward upon women. I do not think violence is the answer to anything. The only feeling I'm left with is wondering what kind of fucked up teenager would let a videogame get to him. There's way worse problems with the kid than videogames if he is influenced negatively by them.
