The structure between human and technology has collapsed in WIR, because the 'human' characters (but cartoon), are controlling the 'games' and the simulacra at the start of the film, but the technology control themselves within the arcade cases. There is no human, because it a simulation of the real world.
Real and Artificial
WIR is not real, in it's style, because it is cartoon, simulacra. It is artificial because of the hyper reality and simulacra, Baudrillard and Jameson. It is a Disney film so will not be true to the real world, because it is targeted at children.
Good vs Evil
Ralph starts of as the evil character type, but he was never shown as evil, like the king of the candy game is. But out of Ralph and Felix, Ralph was evil. But Ralph was good, as he helped the girl in the candy game.
Male and female
The representation of gender has blurred together. Felix is feminine in his high pitch voice, and his behaviour, whereas the woman from Heros Duty is very masculine, action chick.
Genres
The genre boundaries blur together, for example Heros Duty blurs with Wreck it Ralph, as Ralph enters Heros Duty. Also The woman from Heros Duty goes into Sugar Rush, blurring those genres together, action/sci fi and fantasy.
