Nelson (@aarisings) takes over hosting duties to convene a special panel of gamers to talk about diversity (or lack thereof) in the fighting game community -- and in the video gaming community more broadly.

Joining Nelson are fellow NOCs N'Jaila Rhee (@BlasianBytch) and MashfestNYC's Jon Haehnle. Other special panelists include actor Tasi Alabastro (host of the KreenPananas YouTube channel) and Shoryuken.com's Patrick Miller.

Topics include:

--What video games got everyone into the hobby --The disconnect between the video game developers (straight white males) and the people playing the games (everyone else) --Harassment based on gender, race, and sexuality that runs rampant at gaming tournaments and conventions --The "triple binding bias" for the female gamer community --Are the characters found in fighting games examples of diversity or perpetuation of stereotype?
