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

Huh. Both of her twitter accounts listed on her "meet the developer!" character sheet have been suspended. The Kickstarter hasn't been updated since September from what I can see. I searched out her TikTok. I believe the last upload to @danulmao was made on the 5th of October, with the one prior being posted September 16th. The main account that she linked in the bio was abandoned July 21th. And her newest account was last active 2 days ago, from this post.

Her TikTok is a fucking mess.

Person: black people can't make video games
Dani: um ur wrong and i can prove u wrong because my own game ain't out yet, beeeeech

Person: why shouldn't i be able to commission my art just because i "can't draw" black skin? you know that's as easy as a color swap, right? you know that artists are free to not give characters fat greasy fish lips to "identify them as black", right?
Dani: smacks her fat greasy fish lips "ur wrong or smthn idk i'm just here to be condescending and garner attention from the very people i claim to despise"

Black Person: eats fried chicken in a Goku costume
Dani: black men why u fetishizing yourself for approval from the non-blacks by doubling down on stereotypes just like how i am fighting against those stereotypes by being a perpetually angry black woman but its different see bc while u make people laugh, i'm an annoying cunt ass bitch nobody wants to mess with

No mention of what happened to the suspended account on her alt Twitter account, where she retweets Japanese media and fan art of said media, or other shows all created by not black people (but it's okay, some of the fan art is race-swapped because aren't they always).

She's also very upset that the Italian (aka the most visually appealing character in this game) has a thriving fan base even though he's the token white hate sink. I repeat: ValiDate fans are in love with the token white character, when this game has 13 possible love interests. As far as I can tell, the second most popular character is Malik, a raging stereotype of black men, and the funniest thing about this game that we're actually supposed to be laughing at.

Then there's her ko-fi account for "time she's reclaiming" because fuck all the hours one puts in to put our a quality product literally thousands of people paid you to complete, am I right? Point this out and she would likely say, "y'all need to get a real job" much like she did on Twitter in response to some crypto shit. E-begging and theft are the truest hustle, y'all just don't get it.

A venmo and cashapp are also linked here.

Through all this, I found this thread to be an amazing look into how willing people are to brag about being into this game. Chris Pratt voices another Italian gets the most engagement. A simple albeit painfully delayed joke tweet that is 'accessible' to everyone (i.e. all the white bitches that paid her to not make her game). Then the follow up "stop liking our best character design" tweet with significantly less engagement because even the sheep cucks have standards. And then Dani digging up an old Christ Pratt tweet from 2011 and turning it into a 'sign' or whatever the fuck attempt this is to slight him. Literally no one cares.

Uploading the only piece of content from all of this suffering that matters:

I have to mention that her Carrd portfolio and her cash app are also gone.

Still I am sure that this VN is going nowhere and if it gets a release, it will be droped like a hot potato, that or that Dani wants the "fans" to slowly forget the game as it fades into development limbo.

Malik and the Italian dude are by far the best characters the game has for the reasons Dani did not intended to.
 
Update because a bitch can't see: her pinned tweet claims she got kicked for copyright infringement (when the fuck did that become a thing on Twitter). DMCA'd thrice for Tiktok videos.

if anyone is curious why, got dmcaed three times (all in one week) for tiktoks, you need six to get perma suspended, i only had three on the account. i submitted an appeal but that shit takes weeks and i got a game to promote

Notice how she has to promote this game rather than complete this game that is only coming out in June 2022 according to Steam (it was put up on Steam in June 2021 for wish-listing). If all of it or even part of it was complete enough to forgo more work and head straight into the memes on Twitter, why in God's name are they not releasing this thing (which also has its own Ko-fi page despite being funded on Kickstarter with under a year to go before its slated release).

Likely drudging up old links here but I would also like to point out they have a Patreon with the last post being a WIP of a CG. Pay $10 per month to beta-test and look at our incomplete doodles! And of course the CuriousCat for all those burning questions that could have been easily answered with the game releasing and actually delving into these characters and their interests. There is no actual canon, we're jumped straight to head-canons from the developers themselves. Gotta reclaim all that hard work she's doing promoting this game!

Multiple users asking about Keaton and Dani (who I assume runs this) being salty af about the fact. A reminder that the Biggie Smalls character wasn't just a fever dream. Dani answering a question about not using brand names (who the fuck asks that) by saying they don't want to get sued... after being DMCA'd off Twitter a month prior. Someone conveniently asking if they're going to include more milfs the very day they're posting more milfs.

You cannot tell me she's not sending these asks in herself for the most part and replying to them. The audience of this game doesn't user proper capitalization unless they've got auto proper capitalization turned on on their phones. Don't know how much I believe the DMCA thing either, especially when two accounts got suspended because she wasn't smart enough to use an alternate account... like one would use an alternate account and seemingly used both in exactly the same way. Unless she had one account connected to the other in-app, though the violations shouldn't stretch over both accounts unless both are guilty of the same. Not for some DMCA shit at least? Not my space so this is all speculation.

Interesting to note. An ask from August 22nd:
yes! once we’re done writing we will create a content warning list for each route (they will also be displayed in pre-route credits

They don't even have the writing done, how the fuck do you assholes have a release date? In fact, with how often she seems to tweet in a SINGLE DAY, how has anything been getting done? She spends her days doing whatever the fuck she wants, there's nothing to re-claim.

Now, someone get in touch with Nader. I got an edible devouring girl boss waiting in the wings for his loving.

Twitter states: "Twitter’s response to copyright complaints may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly infringing material. If we remove or restrict access to user content in response to a copyright complaint, Twitter will make a good faith effort to contact the affected account holder with information concerning the removal or restriction of access, including a full copy of the complaint, along with instructions for filing a counter-notice."

tl;dr
They will either remove the entire tweet or restrict access to it. This, from what I can understand, does NOT include suspension.

A tweet taken down via copyright will look like this:

Conclusion: I believe she is bullshitting and I'm standing by my claim that she angered the rapid white tranny overlords of the Twitter mod team.

This can’t be real

Even the fans agree :lit:

Also why does Ashlie’s new sprite still make her look manly as fuck? Isn’t her entire character supposed to be a twitch thot? But then again the validate twitter keeps using her to appeal to lesbians despite her canon sexuality being straight lel.
Plus, it makes even less sense to make the lesbian bait character to look manly since surprise, surprise, lesbians like it when their women look like women even if said woman is butch as fuck.

They're trying to normalize lesbians dating manly women in hopes of tricking them into dating trans men with a penis, 5 o clock shadow and uwu smolbean stature

And god forbid if a lesbian speaks up about it and how it's lesbian erasure because if she refuses to suck the not-so-girly girl dick, it must mean she's a disgusting TERF.
 
Checking back in after a long time and lemme get this straight-

They made a white straight conventionally hot guy and the fans are stanning him more than their dumpy, frumpy and downright ugly POCs? And they devs are super fanny flustered by this?

:story:

White man wins everything. They could have mitigated this by not making every other character ugly as fuck. Hot black people exist IRL. As do hot latino and latinas. They chose to make their designs ugly. Don't blame people because they aren't attracted to goofy looking designs.

It's what happens when people take "body positivity" too literally. But hey, so far, we got a free case study on why going woke is terrible for character design; otherwise, you aren't missing out on much for the past few months. Only things that are left, at this point, is how delusional the rest of the rest of the cast turned out to be and how hard this game will tank (and it'll be pinned on the boogeyman of the week).

Simple. It’d be too easy to make conventionally attractive characters because then you can’t spread a message! You have to make your characters UNCONVENTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE! Stand up against the WHITE BEAUTY STANDARD! See how these uglies can still fall in love? Take that patriarchal-cishet-white SOCIETY!!!! NOT ONLY ARE MY CHARACTERS ETHNIC, THEY ARE UGLY AS FUCK! See how PROGRESSIVE THIS GAME IS? Now gimme $20,000 to make shitty DLC

There’s also a reason why all the diverse characters simply look one race. For the ones she couldn’t somehow squeeze in blackness (Anoki the Native American, Inaya the Pakistani girl, and the Isa chick) Dani retaliated by making them ugly as sin and playing up stereotypes. There’s no valid reason why the Pakistani girl is the only one with hairy arms. Seriously, Dani? — but it’s okay, it’s not racist, she’s a BLACK GAME DEV!!!!111!!
Rocky doesn’t even look half-Chinese. Mixed race people do not look one race. That’s why they’re mixed race.
And no matter how many times Dani tries convincing anyone, her fucking self insert Yolanda is not French or Korean. Wouldn’t it be more diverse just to say whatever African country she’s ACTUALLY from?

Clearly the spite artist didn’t get the memo for Keaton by making him attractive. It’s only a matter of time before Dani starts calling them racist for finding the white man attractive,

It's funny because you'd think with the number of ethnicities and weird ass half-whatevers they'd at least stumble across a single 'body positive' and 'progressive' look that won't be akin to stuffing a yeti into a wifebeater and booty shorts. Instead they just proved their own bullshit by making the only white dude look reasonable and thus the instant winner.

This is some borderline buck-breaking level of stupid.

I can't understand how someone can go full Pikachu face in a situation like this.

You make a conventionally pretty dude and present him to a crowd that you know is majorly thirsty fujoshis (that's fans of gay-themed VNs), and then you act hurt when he's popular? Yeah, no wonder.

Also, aren't most people in the so called fanbase probably white? Aren't people usually more attracted to people of their own race? Either way even if that's not the case, it's still hilarious because every single character is ugly, even the white dude, but he's still the most popular so far so Dani must be seething. She already basically think everyone that liked white boy is racist going by that tweet. I still can't help but read his t-shirt as Staying Olive.
