Lalonders admitted she discriminated against white people during a presentation for the Game Devs of Color Expo 2021 that was recently highlighted by LibsofTikTok.
In the presentation Lalonders states, “ValiDate has a team of all people of color. 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.”
“And I'm not saying that white people in the industry are creating unsafe environments. I'm not saying that. That is not what I'm saying,” she said. “I'm saying sometimes it is hard to work with white people because they think that something may be okay, but it was really a microaggression, and no one wants to deal with that while you're trying to make a game that they love.”

WRONG !chuds
Here's a Game Devs of Colour Expo where Dani Lalonders(She/They), the Head Dev of Validate, Founder of Veritable Joy Studios and Writer on Spirit Swap, is a "non-binary milf in training" and her talk complains about the "White-centric industry", refused to have White workers for a "safe environment" and how no Publisher would give them $400'000 seed money for a LGBTQ BIPOC Dating Sim Visual Novel. She was accepted onto Sweet Baby Inc. as a Narrative Designer and is now a Manager at EA.

It's a Dating Sim Visual Novel made by 4 Leaf Studios ( a collective of random 4chan chuds) where all 5 women are crippled in some way. They're either paraplegic, blind, deaf and mute, a burn victim or born with deformed arms. It's actually quite well written with particular focus on how their disabilities affect their lives and how your actions help them accept it and continue to grow as people in spite of it. Incredible considering it was a bunch of nolife sweaty NEETs on 4chan who made this.

Pretty sure it was a volunteer project that self-policed internally by the codecels are threatening to fly/drive over to the slacking codecels homes and slit their throats if they didn't meet the deadline after it being pushed back yet again for the 3rd time.
