Pretty sure that was shitheads ON TWITTER giving this user the business, nobody ITT noticed or mentioned her here until Grummz did.
This is the same Danielle Lalonders who gave us this wonderful gem just a few days ago so at least one could say she's stayed consistent on her views in the last couple years.
Grifters just can't help themselves. The only thing of value to either of these cunts is engagement, and they will get it from team Christian cunt and team degenerate cunt.
I know, I know, this is a cozy video game sperging thread but these girls are mean girls. I read their asses from a mile away through my computer screen and I want to know exactly what kind of queen bee bullshit they are on. They are clearly hard to be around and unfortunately a lot of people have to be around them in some professional or social capacity, or god forbid serve them at a restaurant. People just need to know. (You hear that, girls? I make no threats and mean you no harm. I just want people to know exactly who you are.)
I think Alyssa still needs some time to grow into a proper cow, we can only hope that against the backdrop of her newfound fame some interpersonal drama in the near future will push her over the edge. Now, Dani Lalonders on the other hand seemed pretty boring up to this point but after some poking around it turns out that she may have more of a reputation online than we first realized. I'm talking THE HOMESTUCK FANDOM. YES, THIS BITCH WAS A HOMESTUCK FANDOM GIRLIE.
The original title of the second entry there, preserved in the URL is Being a Community Organizer for a Fandom That Doesn't Deserve You. [a] According to this piece, which is rich in other threads to pull on, she annoyed the fuck out of all the Homestuck tards by insisting that Homestuck fandom has a racism problem and stuff. This is the usual thing for mean girls like Dani, she's not a nice or likeable person so she has to settle for stirring up confrontation to get attention from anyone.
Dani Lalonders has shown up on lolcow.farms from time to time in the context of Homestuck and Vallidate. In the /snow/ thread regarding the Homestuck fandom the last lines of the OP are "This is a rabbit hole that needs a full day to explain properly, but I got the idea to make this thread after people were talking about Validate(a project run by Dani [@laIonders], a What Pumpkin reject and Kate Mitchell's right hand flying monkey) in /m/. Have fun."
Dani and @ThatOneNegraux from the tweets upthread also show up in this sjw e-artist containment thread on lolcow.farm amidst some drama I don't understand.
Along the same lines, Dani also made an appearance in the KiwiFarms thread about Validate which I just learned exists! I won't repost all the info here but in the linked post there are archives of both Dani's twitter accounts circa 2020 as well as some fun screens like this one:
And thanks to those archives I also learned that Dani used to have a shitty "makeup line" called Gamer Girl Gloss
There's plenty more to dig into, probably even here on these farms, but that's what I found floating on the surface, as it were. I can't wait to find more to hate about this chick.
In closing I'd like to note some of Dani's aliases we know so far in addition to her two current twitter accounts @danulmao and @DANILALONDERS:
@laIonders (suspended account on x)
@Lalonders (suspended acount on x)
@GamerGirlGloss (old business account)
ran the @ValiDateGame twitter
has used the alias Dani Delonge
has used "game dev doll" and "girl boss dani" as twitter display names
Journalism is a joke.
>have an opinion
>put a call out for people to bring you data that supports your existing opinion
>write an article to prove your original opinion
What abot the scientific method? Forming a hypothesis based on some data and then collecting more data in an unbiased way, without priming the respondants, and reporting on what you have learned? That's what journalism should be. Ah but what do I expect from a literal whore/prostitute.
Here it fucking it is, in black and white, clear as crystal. If you're black and you do not agree with the hivemind, you WILL be branded a "coon", "Uncle Tom", "Oreo", etc.
Opinion piece gaming journalism is nothing more than a make-work scheme for upper-middle class people with no actual skills, the people who talk about things that are actually important or do real investigative reporting aren't being employed by sites that'll pivot to gaming guides at a moment's notice. Hell, we're a bunch of wierdos on the internet who laugh at even bigger weirdos on the internet and we've got a higher standard of journalism than these people.
So, this is another Zoe Quinn situation where she is a "gamer" in a sense that she pretends to be one while she sucks dicks for positive industry coverage, right?
Inb4 she drives another indie dev to suicide and tries to claim she's part of the legbutt community to deflect criticism. (Honestly, though, history may repeat itself, but I hope it doesn't repeat that well)
To add to the names already mentioned so far, there was also Martin O'Donnell: the original composer for the Halo games, Oni, etc. who was at Bungie since ~1997 and also happened to be a staunch conservative (so much so that he had a reputation as the furthest right-wing guy at the company), got unceremoniously fired 'without cause' back in 2014. The reason given was that he was butting heads with Activision over the music for Destiny but in hindsight it's hard not to think that his politics (which he hadn't been shy about) and the rapidly accelerating far-left turn gaming was being pushed in around that time must've had something to do with it, they even tried to financially screw him over and he had to fight them in the courts as a result. Now he's running for Congress.
Interesting. I wonder if he ever publicly spoke about his politics being 'problematic' at Bungie. I guess it's their loss, he made some good shit:
Aside from all of that, I think it's important to remember what things were like in 2014 on social media. #Metoo was the big bomb that shook up entertainment, "check your priveledge" was being parroted by half of twitter and every guy with a decent job was walking on eggshells to not get cancelled. Everyone was a potential target without a clue on how to defend themselves, even if they did nothing wrong and got attacked. As shown by the recent responses to people like Dani, Alyssa, SBI employees and those like them, things have changed. It's almost like getting cancelled now is a golden ticket to getting your own personal army.
Well kojima's writing is kinda cringe but he predicted what's happening now with social media and AI to such an insane degree people think he has a time machine
I understand that wasn't Kojima but a different guy. I think he quit after MGS2. Can't remember the name, but I can barely remember normal Western names. Not sure I'll ever remember this guy.

No, it's a common misconception that Tomokazu Fukushima was like the secret genius behind the Metal Gear games or something. Kojima plots out the ideas and concepts well ahead of time. Fukushima mostly worked on codec dialogue, the really, really autistic ones about how cardboard boxes are made, or international guidelines on ballistic missiles. He left after MGS3, which is one reason why MGS4 didn't feature as many codec calls like that.
MGS2 was originally going to be even crazier. It was going to be called MGSIII, Raiden was going to be some guy in a gas mask who contorts into weird shapes and eats bird poop. Just really zany shit.
you know, if this dipshit said "i'm making a game about black faggots so i only want other black faggots to work on it" then i can understand the methodology behind how a game like that got developed, but that isn't what this retard said, what the retard said was:
We have no white people on our team. I did that because I wanted to create a safe environment. And I know the best way for the environment to be safe is to be around people who are just like me.
in the video when she said she has mostly people of color working on the game, she then quickly corrected herself to say all people working on this game were people of color, she's taking those statements and she's now trying to reframe and recontextualize what she said to mean something entirely different and more defensible in spite of the language and rhetoric she uses, at no point does she say anything about how white people can't write gay niggers, but then she tweets she "clearly stated" that's what's being said here.
this is such unnecessary gaslighting cause there are no fence sitters left to bullshit over to your side, but i suppose that's what girlbosses do.

He might also be referring to the fact that MGS1's localizer rewrote large segments of the script, to Kojima's displeasure.
This also led to MGS2 have a somewhat troubled development , with the translator famously calling Kojima a hack writer and other stuff during an interview.
Update: Alyssa has a taker for her piece about "a prominent female Twitch streamer/gaming personality who leans very hard into Christianity and homophobia."
These bitches are so lazy they don't even bother looking up for Japanese anti-discrimination orgs. As if someone at faagd can speak fluent japanese (or fluent non-gay english for that matter)
Look how the problem isn't that she was racist as fuck but that she's getting the consequences of her openly racist as fuck. If there weren't any consequences he would be openly racist too, because they clearly are this racist in private?
"Your truth" just shut the fuck up captain save a hoe...

Why the fuck did Capcom think it was a brilliant idea to sneak microtransactions into an action role-playing game? This shit didn't fly with gamers back when Dead Space 3 fucking came out.
Have you seen Blackrock Fighter 6?! The game is full of nothing, but sleazy and shitty live service shit and microtransactions that give you shitty rewards. The first pack of paid costumes would almost cost you $100usd, and they didn't even give the disc-locked characters extra costumes too.
This is another huge nail in the coffin of Sweet Baby--the fact that their "core" demographic isn't white men from NA or Europe.
The "Gamers Rise Up" thing doesn't mean anything when only 20% of your gaming pop are being beleaguered by woke bullshit anyway and only a fraction of that 20% even wants to do anything about it.
Whenever any company releases their games, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa immediately engage in a bunch of censorship, thereby removing the Sweet Baby "innovative" inoculations from the get-go.
This is another reason why a lot of NA gamers have been upset for ages. The fact that "gaming" as an industry has been China first for the longest time given that's the only way they can make back the money they spend on making games in the first place. Movies are the same way.
This goes hand-in-hand with what @PaladinBoo was saying about these overinflated budgets. The budget is designed around a consumer base that extends far beyond the boundaries of NA and Europe and yet Sweet Baby is under the asinine impression that the "core" still encapsulates NA and Europe for some reason.
TL;DR - Your products are made for Chinese people first, and then you. You're last in line.
I can vouch for this knowing gacha and mobile games are censored or receive changes for the CCP. FGO is heavily censored in China, and Blizzard diversified the D3 classes for Global Immortal while changing the Necromancer and Barbarian for Chinese players. The new thing in gacha games is to release a half-assed Western or Global version where you can have sexy waifus (Illusion Connect, Awaken Chaos Era) or be woke af (Dislyte) before you make changes for China. Awaken Chaos Era suddenly went from a 3d anime version of Raid Shadow Legends with titties to a Soulless, Chinese knock off of Raid with less appealing, more covered up characters. Western Dislyte and its playerbase are woke af, but that shit doesn't fly in the Chinese version. Both ACE and Dislyte were made by Chinese mobile developers, but both came out in the West first.
Look how Bethesda and Riot shove all kinds of gay-trans pedo shit in their games before/after June, yet once it's time to get money from their CCP Overlords and Arab Princes they play by their rules. China cracks down on woke shit invading its land because years ago the CCP put its foot down on anything pushing effeminate men, feminism, and lbgt content. It knows effeminiate men will eventually ruin the system because soyjaks are useless; yet you have Sweet Baby Inc. staff, Western far leftists, and 99% of Reddit think Communism loves faggots and feminists. Riot has been woke shit for years since Caitlin, Jinx, and Vi became cancerous with the lesbian shit.
I can't wait for Pokemon Go's Pride event in June. Reminder The Pokemon Company donated money to BLM and Antifa, and Scarlet and Violet are really fucking woke.
