It isn't even about the digression to video games.
My objection to proms isn't that they're "unnecessary". My objection is that they are extravagant, ostentatious and financed by parents engaged in social warfare with the neighbors. "Fun" and "frivolous" are part of growing up. Staking a claim to the upper reaches of the social heirarchy need not be.
My objection to a charity formed to facilitate it is that it then is tacitly acknowledged that participating in this spectacle is a need.
