Dear Love and Deepspace team,
I hope this thread reaches you, because today I'd like to explain why so many of us are asking you to bring Valko back. For many of us, this is about much more than just one character.
Your game has become a safe space for countless women—not only in China, but also across North America, Europe, Latin America, and the CIS countries. I am a player from Russia, and through Love and Deepspace I not only fell in love with the game itself, but also became genuinely interested in Chinese culture and learned more about it through your work.
I think it is important to say this clearly:
Our protest is not a war against Chinese players.
It is not a war against the developers.
Many of us are disappointed by the decision, and of course we all have different opinions about parts of the game that could be improved. That is normal for every community.
However, harassment is not.
Threats, intimidation, personal attacks, stalking, and attempts to pressure developers or other players into silence should never become acceptable ways of expressing disagreement.
We do not support harassment against developers, and we do not support harassment against players—regardless of where they are from.
No one deserves to be insulted or threatened because they enjoy a character or because they play on a different server.
We hope that every player's voice can be heard through respectful dialogue—not through fear.
And above all, we appreciate your work.
We appreciate the years of effort, creativity, writing, art, music, programming, and passion that your team puts into this game. That is exactly why it hurts to see a character—one that your team spent so much time creating—simply disappear.
We do not know everything that happened behind the scenes.
Perhaps the reasons are far more complicated than they appear.
Perhaps there are circumstances we cannot see.
We do not want to make assumptions or spread misinformation.
What we do want you to know is this:
Your work matters.
And our voices matter too.
We want you to see that there are hundreds of thousands of players around the world who are willing to support both your team and the story you wanted to tell.
We sincerely hope that our voices will be heard.

BRING VALKO BACK!!! I wasn’t gonna post any of my reactions because I’m so sad that they cancelled his release but I want to show how beloved this character is and how bad we want him back!! #BringValkoBack#BringBackValko
I am putting my money where my mouth is, I love Zayne he is my everything and I also know he said a similar like of letting the wolf into someone’s house in Absolute Zeal card TO MC. The English was LOCALISED to mean essentially the same sentiment, and it is ZAYNE saying it to MC who is seducing him. The card contained a consensual intimate encounter between the characters that was suggested and nothing was explicit.
For Valko’s marketing, the text was used but it was not something he said or she said - it was quite LITERAL about him being a wolf.
The trailer said in Chinese:
引狼入室 (yǐn láng rù shì) = leading a wolf into the house
Since Valko is a wolf or láng, they actually use it as a pun! IT WAS LITERAL - not figurative about any abuser!!! It is not even referencing being a wolf like Zayne was talking to MC, with her trying to seduce him!
And through the story, the premise is the OPPOSITE of letting a bad wolf into your home but a GOOD WOLF into your home. A wolf who is injured, who you are romancing, and who is a man who wants to be around you too.
The double standards around Valko are extremely frustrating, just as they always are when people sensationalise parts in isolation and do not look at the context of content. If you SEE the scene you can see he was not aggressive to her, he was silly and cheeky and she LIKES him. Every romance the main character has with a love interest it with them being compatible and liking eachother! This is common sense at this point, so to assume Valko’s romance is any different is extremely bad faith.
my little friend did these banners for us!! use this so u can support little creator and VALKO!!!!!! AWOOOOO 🐺🐺
