Valorant's Interlinked to Theory of Representation (race and culture) and Feminist Coflict Theory

A brief introduction to Valorant to new ears and eyes is that Valorant is a video game and what I will be calling a media that was released by Riot Games in 2020, Valorant is a tactical FPS (first person shooter) game that blends strategic gameplay with an immersive sci-fi narrative. The setting of the game takes place in a world destabilized by the mysterious "First Light" event which gives these agents called Radiants their powers and abilities. The game first introduces the organization called Kingdom Corporation as a central antagonist exploiting the Radiants who, like I explained earlier, are individuals with enhanced abilities born from the “First Light” event. In other words, people born with supernatural powers and gifts. The Valorant Protocol, an organization made up of diverse agents, seeks to combat the Kingdom’s monopoly and protect global stability. With its international cast of characters and deeply layered lore, Valorant offers players not only fast paced mechanical gameplay but also a glimpse into narratives of resistance, identity, and power.

Abstract

A brief introduction to Valorant to new ears and eyes is that Valorant is a video game and what I will be calling a media that was released by Riot Games in 2020, Valorant is a tactical FPS (first person shooter) game that blends strategic gameplay with an immersive sci-fi narrative. The setting of the game takes place in a world destabilized by the mysterious "First Light" event which gives these agents called Radiants their powers and abilities. The game first introduces the organization called Kingdom Corporation as a central antagonist exploiting the Radiants who, like I explained earlier, are individuals with enhanced abilities born from the “First Light” event. In other words, people born with supernatural powers and gifts. The Valorant Protocol, an organization made up of diverse agents, seeks to combat the Kingdom’s monopoly and protect global stability. With its international cast of characters and deeply layered lore, Valorant offers players not only fast paced mechanical gameplay but also a glimpse into narratives of resistance, identity, and power.
