Sure. To sum it up, narrative designer and Sweet Baby Inc affiliate Dani Lalonders has become the current target of right-wingers for being exclusionary towards white people. The tweets presented show her merely complaining about white folks due to her own negative experiences with them. While these posts do make her come across as racist, there is a sentiment that the white majority cannot be "racial victims" due to the power imbalance between them and minorities.

I will always require a Mt. Everest tall amount of evidence whenever right wing nutjobs/white supremacists claim such-and-such person is racist against white people.

Remember when they maliciously pushed an edited video of Shirley Sherrod and got her fired? It was the same narrative. And that's far from the only time they've told such lies to encourage harassment or try to bring innocent people financial hardship. These people lie every time they open their mouths and are not deserving of trust.

I agree, which is why compiling the "evidence" they've gathered is necessary to unearth the actual truth and not fall for their biased narrative. Here's another post they're using against Lalonders.

She's obviously bigoted. People are being obtuse.

It is a bit scary how a person's entire post history can be archived and used against them though. If a person complained once a week on social media, within two years there would be 100 complaints that could be compiled together to paint a portrait of a very negative person. That's not even taking into consideration discussions on sensitive topics such as race, sex, orientation, etc.

Am I weird for not caring about this person?

Like maybe if she were the lead on bigger projects/companies than some niche indie dating sim I'd be able to muster concern. But she's not, and last I heard of the lore is that her current job is basically a glorified intern for other people who do the actual writing.

She's essentially just some random jackass in a world of random jackasses. >_>

Two things. She generalized white people too much, and she should not do that. And the fuck is wrong with interracial dating. That is like Super not cool
Also the people complaining about don't fuck about racism at fucking all. For example when that guy highlighted how many places don't hire POC and it was written off.

Eh... Kind of? Lalonders clearly dislikes white people because of the way they've treated her. That kind of hate definitely swings into "racist" territory, but I can kind of understand why some people get like that.

My late grandfather hated white people because he grew up in the South during segregation. And as a black man, he got blamed and attacked by white men, for something he didn't do. So he never learned to trust white people after that, although his anger mellowed as he got older.

I didn't think it was right for him to hate all white people, because of the actions of a few, but I didn't go through what he did, so I wasn't about to argue with him on it.

I think something like that could have been solved with therapy though. Maybe that's what this lady needs? Work out her issues with a professional instead of carrying that hatred with her for her entire life.
