Second homie on the bottom row literally be white.
Jokes aside, I'm pretty sure not everyone on the team is a POC, like the dev claims. Some of these bitches be pasty af.
Also, We all know the reason they have 1 programmer is because they're using RenPy. You don't need much talent for that.
I've never seen such a large dev team for a game so... shitty. They have so many artists who can't keep a consistent art style between each other. It's almost like you're looking at a VN for the Amazing World of Gumball or something like that.
This is a gold mine, God bless. I'm not surprised more members of the team are getting involved in drama like this. If someone paid you for something, it's theirs to use whenever and however they want so long as credit is provided, or they agreed to the terms before payment. It's obvious the drawing was never received since they're avoiding questions that ask them directly about this.
I know what some of these people look like IRL (have actually met one IRL too). Fun fact, some of them are drawn lighter here than they are IRL!!! WHAT

I'm not sure about this but I think if they are purposefully wanting to be depicted as lighter it could be some cultural beauty thing like how most Asian countries find light skin attractive.

Just in case anyone's confused, that's probably because this team mostly comes from the Homestuck fandom.
Where characters were painted stark white to be blank canvases, and everyone then took this to mean that they are all specific combinations and if you think they're any other combination you're a bigot.
Anyone see this yet? One of the 13 artists for ValiDate apparently can't take constructive criticism on her characters becase (in her words) it's basically a self insert and people calling it ugly makes her feelings hurt.
It just boggles my mind how these people create content that could possibly leave the Tumblr-Nu Twitter sphere and realize that... hey! Not everyone likes it or thinks it's 'empowering,' some people just see a fat, annoying, insufferably-written character. Knowing that it's her self insert makes this a lot more funny, to be honest.

How god damn sensitive must you be? The let's player knew none of this. She just saw how flashy Anoki looked and how bitchy she was and judged her off of that. And guess what? She's still ugly inside and out.
Here's another one of their white knights defending them.

Your game is not shit because POC LGBTIASPF30+ people are working on it. Your game is shit because malicious retards are working on it.
Also, any bets on which dev has a "breakdown" next?

But yah, you put something out there, it’s going to get criticized. Just because it’s a “self-insert” doesn’t mean you’re void of criticism. These people are so fragile. Maybe if you joke about the characters enough, they’ll feel too bad about themselves that they’ll stop development, and we’ll have saved so many people from being subjected to this shit game.
i've been wondering for a while what flag arihi's country is- but just today i realized it represented Samoa!
...Samoa, you know, the country in polynesia.
Where the people look like this:
Hey, validate team, why are you so fucking scared to actually draw asians/polynesians? Why do you have to take literally non black POC and draw them black?? what do you have against representing characters that are from asia or the south pacific??
So I checked ThatOneNegraux's twitter account and I came across a funny little post.
Note she had set her heart emojis to red and black in the previews screenshots, now they're orange. She basically publicly threatened to hurt herself just because someone was mean to a bad fictional character she wrote and drew.

We all seen characters be white-washed before, but this might as well be black-washing a character. Though, the developer doesn’t believe in “reverse racism”; they probably don’t believe in “reverse white-washing” either.

The amount of retardation and level of special snowflake syndrome are making me cringe so hard that I might end up folding into myself. This is like something I would’ve done as a cringe edgelord when I was 12. Grade-A tumblritus.
Dont get me wrong. Mental health problems should be taken seriously... but I can never take them seriously when they’re put on blast. It makes it feel more like a special personality trait to their online persona rather than a serious condition.

I'm not even sure any of them are actually foreigners. I think that is their heritage or whatever, I vaguely recall several talking about coming from out of state but nobody mentioning that they came from overseas. Most of them have apparently well established local households so its not like they're fresh off the boat, and most backstories make it sound like they've been in the US all their lives. The theater chick has two flags and a three-generation household that doesn't look like it had recently been set up.
...maybe you're not cut out for character design if the first thing you do when 'given artistic freedom' is create an author avatar for a public game? Don't get me wrong, I don't mind when people make characters that are supposed to express themselves. The problem is that she's taking all of the criticism directed at Anoki's gaudy appearance and bitchy attitude as an attack on herself because well... it's supposed to be her.
