Interviewer brings up gamergate. She doesn't care about it. Most people in the real world don't care about stuff like that

I've never met a talented programmer in my life who cared about what kind of words were used. Seriously: 1) Talented programmer 2) Polite social skills. Choose one.

I want to make a goatse video on my macbook

I would say they are using interactive forms like instant messaging mostly. Which I suppose is better than your suppossed oppurtunity but I still think socially inverts kids. Its a whole lot easier for a kid to type, 'do u like me?' and push enter to a girl online than it is to actually excercise your vocal chords and ask her yourself. That creates a sort of dependence I've seen in kids where they are afraid to come out behind their monitors.
And when they are not instant messanging, they are looking at porn. Long-term activity of that and it probably does the same damage as above. Just my 2cents
