ValiDate - an upcoming (and unsurprisingly racist) visual novel made by SJW's, for SJW's. Currently MIA.

I just finished reading this entire thread (including the let's plays) and I still have no earthly idea what the core story is behind this game beyond 'modern POC gendersped dating'. Have there been any hints towards actual story and conflict that I somehow missed?

Also did they ever update the sprites they released? The download is still missing at least two of these character's sprites but was thoughtful enough to include the copypasta Vriska Starbucks ripoff.

Love me a 16 page wiki for such a stunning and brave game.

Nope. That is the story. With the Malik update its looking like some of the stories are connected (Since Malik already met the fat chick in his POV), so the overall story is "people meet each other and talk a few times, then maybe have sex and decide to just stay friends. Then they move on to the next one"

That's just terribly depressing when the pigeon dating sim has more depth than something that's actually supposed to have a good amount of work put in.

On a lighter note while archiving the wiki pages I found some fun inconsistencies from the exceptional human bean who wrote it:

Apparently Ahiri has an doctorate in psychology from the Cornsyrup University.


My sides are in orbit.

Look, you don't understand. Ren'py is basically a goddamn hydra. You need to constantly be jumping on it's back, chopping it's heads off, and finding missing line terminators (oops, python doesn't use any? What barbaric shit is this?). Any less than 4 programmers would cause the entire project to compile into a black hole that will envelope everything in the known universe, collapsing reality into a super dense xe/xer gendered star with a tumblr account.

Being that Keaton is white, I wonder if he will get compared to the uncle a lot. Because you know they are going to have to bring up whyboy's whiteness again and again. Especially when interacting with Anoki.

Also, ain't no one Italian American named Keaton. Even a stereotypical Tony or Vinnie would have been better. :roll:

Bonus points if the uncle's name is Tom.

Also, if you look under the categories of where that page is placed for Keaton its filed under "White Boy Shame Zone" for maximum transparency on where he stands in their community.

I'm pretty sure his uncle will never come up.

Like how none of the other character's sound bite things ever really came up.

I was curious and did some general digging and found that it also has its own tvtropes page: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VisualNovel/ValiDateStrugglingSinglesInYourArea

It apparently had two pages from it cut, a YMMV and a Characters page:
tvtropes.org

Validate Struggling Singles In Your Area / YMMV - TV Tropes

Note: This page was cut for reason: Nearly everything is misused or ZCE, just seems like an excuse to bash the game which may be why the Characters and main pages were so lackluster Creating red links in 0 articles.Abandoning inbound links.You …

tvtropes.org tvtropes.org

From the remarks on both it looks like someone got triggered and DFE.

The first result for looking for a Reddit for it leads to a based KotakuInAction thread on the rampant racism.

And sadly I didn't see the game listed under many of the popular fanfic sites so far. So much for groundswell.
