About

Started a media blitz that spanned at least 24 publications with her article "Everything You Know About Boys and Video Games Is Wrong", based on an exploratory survey that she conducted herself and that was soon strongly disputed. Its numerous flaws include: no peer review, very loaded questions, and being taken exclusively over social media with no way to check if the sample truly consisted of the projected demographic of teens (who couldn’t take the survey without adult consent anyway). While the article has not been updated, she partially backpedaled on it and admitted it had no claim of academic legitimacy, its only goal having been to start a discussion.
