Within the recent trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, which ended in an acquittal, there was a surprising moment in which the prosecutor started a line of questioning with the defendant, inquiring about his interest in "Call of Duty", a "first person shooter".  The very clear suggestion was that there is a link between the virtual violence within that particular game and the real world violence of which Rittenhouse was being accused.

In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, we talk with Ethan Burson, a middle school Bible teacher at Northwest Christian School.  Ethan is also the coach of the Northwest Christian High School eSports team.  As part of the the Arizona Interscholastic Association, Northwest Christian's eSports team competes against other high school throughout the state within games like Super Smash Bros., Rocket League, Overwatch, and others.  At the same time, through the High School Esports League, the team competes in Call of Duty tournaments.

Is it responsible for the school to encourage students to play these sorts of games?  Does video game violence propagate violent behavior in the real world?  Today's conversation will cause you to think--and, undoubtedly, everyone will have an opinion!

"Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.

Since the early 1990s, fighting games have been a staple in the competitive gaming scene with time only increasing its influence over gamers. This recent wave of popularity surrounding video games has led to the creation of the "E-athlete". The fighting game community (FGC) has always appealed to the fiercest competitors and thus, its place within the gaming world will always be unquestioned. 

Joining us today will be Francy, who is not only an avid competitor, but pillar within the FGC community, more specifically the Street Fighter community. Today we will discuss her journey, what inspired her to become apart of the FGC, and what it means to establish herself as a female within a male dominated field.
