One of the developers behind an upcoming Black Panther game has come under fire after a clip resurfaced in which they admitted that they previously built a team that excluded white people to create a “safe environment” for them to create a prior game.
Dani Lalonders is an associate narrative designer at Cliffhanger Games who is currently working on a game based off the Black Panther Marvel film series.
Formerly, they worked on a game called ValiDate, “a romantic visual novel about 13 adults in Jercy City navigating new relationships and the harsh realities that come alongside them.”
It was on this game that Lalonders said they had no white people on the team, which was a deliberate decision.
“We have no white people on our team,” they said. “I did that because I wanted to create a safe environment, and I know the best way for an environment to be safe is to be around people who are just like me.”
They continued, “I’m not saying white people are creating unsafe environments, I’m saying sometimes it’s hard to work with white people because sometimes they think something is okay, but it’s actually a microaggression.”
It is not known if this policy followed Lalonders over to Cliffhanger and the Black Panther project. This development team falls under the EA umbrella and is a much bigger team.
Not much is known about the Black Panther game at the time of writing, with the game still in the infancy of its development, but fans of the films will be excited to start cruising around Wakanda on their own.
Who cares?
So - they’re “resegrigating”?
Who cares? I don’t. I’m a decade-long EVE Online player. Woke trash doesn’t interest me.
I’d hold the guy’s feet to the fire and make him follow through on this 100%.
Payday if you’re a programmer and you have proof that they didn’t hire you.
Saw Black Panther game and thought it was a FPS set in the 70s.
“...hiring discrimination based on race is against the law.”
Well, as they say: every N-word a planned and wanted N-word
That’s why Stephen Miller assembled a team of vicious lawyers, to sue the private parties into oblivion.
Software tip: Real developers focus on microcomputers and not fictional "microaggression".
If I wanted to create a safe environment, White Men are not the ones I would exclude ...
approves.
good, and when it bombs they can’t blame us...
White folks are unsafe... hmmmm... Anybody wanna remind it that the comic book character was created by a couple of White New York Jews?
Companies should be able to hire who they want for any reason they want. BUT.... I do enjoy seeing these hypocrites forced to live by the rules they set.
