I agree with you Hex. Coming from a guy, I have to say that this looks like the stereotypical feminist "I want to be equal, but on a higher level than men" speech, even though that's not how they should act and not how most of them think. Yes, most stereotypes for women are bad, but most women don't know or completely ignore the side-effects that games have on men.
As for her idea that "I want to be a gamer but I don't want to shoot people or rip off heads. That's just gross." The problum with that is that she is ignoring a long list of games that don't belong in this catagory.
She even said that she played mario before and that has the person stomping the enemy. My whole problum with Peach is that she is a badly writen charicter. She started out as the one hope for the kingdom and now she's just a plot devise.
The only real problum that we have is that we are turning female charicters into manly girls, which can work but where would all our motherly woman go. As much as I like Tifa over Arith (I have no idea how to spell her name, and don't care to look it up), I really don't see Tifa as a mother who would stay at home while Cloud went to war. We really need a mother like character who does realistic female things. Just saying.

- Pokemon
- Zelda
- Cooking Mama (a female lead too)
- Persona (though that one has some shooting)
- Metriod (another female lead)
- Mario
