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

They just straight up stole someone else's design and put a shitty filter on it.

Lol, they didn't even airbrush out the "7 Nations" sign. They're so creatively bankrupt they couldn't come up with any inside jokes or SJW puns to put on the signage.

They mention "Bopeye's" on several of the character bios. I assumed it was a parody and not "just change one letter in the name and make it literally Popeye's."

Popeye’s will widen their assholes a few feet if they put that in the actual game. Trade dress protection is a huge thing. It’s one thing to have a parody name that makes it clear what you’re talking about, but lifting their store design and colour scheme without changes is not a legally smart thing to do.

Stolen art too? Why am I not surprised.

An easy fix for this is to just either make these from scratch using references OR if you want to take the quick-and-easy route, drive to your local fast food chains/stores and take pictures. Edit those in Photoshop, add a filter, and done. Yeah, you'd have to take photos for each part you need, but it's much better than using easily available stock photos that people can easily look up. Even cheap visual novels at the very LEAST use free resources that are widely available and considered passable to use. Hell, games made in RPG Maker are less shameful than this and those are notorious for their widely used assets.

I do not understand the obsession these kinds of projects have of wanting to be treated as a professional game, but at the same time making mistakes that even newbies tend to avoid. Remember that while the game is free, these developers are still asking for money with GOALS to advance development on this. AND YET, at this point we are still seeing placeholders and poorly-edited stock photos. Again, I need to ask....who is this appealing to? Because I know plenty of minorities aren't playing this over other games like HuniePop.

Edit: grammar

Those mother fuckers 100% upscaled a character render and slapped it onto a body pillow. They're going lowest effort for maximum payout, the dsp school of business.

Who would even want one? Putting the cart waaaay before the horse here, aren't we? They should be putting that money towards production.

When I was in undergrad I took an Anthropology class where we watched a documentary called Paris is Burning about drag balls (or maybe it was just this specific one) in mid-late 80s NYC. I think the upshot was to look at how cultural practices emerge in small groups, frankly what I remember most was how bad the decision-making skills of the various subjects were, yes the one who was maybe 18 at the most ended up getting murdered before filming was done, that kinda goes with being in the rough trade of the time. But the connection here is that all of the clothes worn for these fashion-show style balls were shoplifted. They probably couldn't have afforded them anyway, but it was one of the rules that you had to steal the clothes. There seems to be a strong sub-cultural sense of "I'm marginalized so theft is okay even when it isn't for necessities like food" that goes back a fair bit.

It's always amazing how much the depravity that gets peddled in this world ends up coming across as so pathetic. You could almost understand if people forsook virtue and the simple pleasures of a normal life for something grand and beautiful or indescribable pleasure, but what always comes across is desperation, a marginal existence, and just plain filth.

It's because, for the past 50 years, people have been taught that objective standards of beauty don't exist. Therefore, anything can be beautiful if someone says it is and if you disagree with them you're wrong (and a fascist). It subsequently retards the development of artists who aren't taught objective standards of beauty in writing, art, and any other forms of expression. People can argue all day about where the bar lies exactly in terms of what makes something "beautiful", but stuff like ValiDate proves without a doubt that objective standards of beauty exist and there are things that don't meet it.

In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, the protagonist, Guy Montag, reads a stanza to his wife and guests. Bradbury’s description of the poetry’s effect is striking, “Mrs. Phelps was crying. The others… watched her crying grow very loud…. She sobbed uncontrollably. Montag himself was stunned and shaken.”[xvii] In Montag’s world, the absence of thought is bliss. The reading of poetry then forces a woman, who is practically a child, to think for the first time. This experience is powerful because although children have no knowledge of meter, rhyme, rhythm, and symbolism, beautiful words remain beautiful nonetheless. They are awe-inspiring; they move the reader and listener to contemplate things above him even without his knowing it. The opposite is true of ugly things. Present a child with chaotic verses, and he will assuredly feel disgust.

However, Plato takes this idea one step further. He argues that this recognition of good and bad in the young is crucial for the developing soul because it prepares the child for higher learning in the future. When the child is no longer a child and is finally presented the reason why the things he loves are beautiful, “he will welcome the reason when it comes and recognize it easily because of its kinship with himself.”[xviii] Much like the unification of melody and rhythm, so the soul responds happily when it can finally see and contemplate the beginnings of beauty.[xix]

Shit like ValiDate is objectively ugly and will never be beautiful. It makes the world worse by simply existing.
