Hey all! I'm new to the aslfua fandom but Cheol and Miae have completely stolen my heart 🥹🍏 Caught up on all 159 chapters out and feel like I have a lot to say so drop a message if you're interested in some aslfua ramblings! #aslfua #cheolmiae

Maybe, just maybe, we are able to empathise with Valko-enjoyers and don't think they've been treated fairly? And if you're unable to put yourself in other people's shoes to understand their feelings, perhaps you should consider the implications for all the LIs/LADs as a whole?

[Sen @xsenyoun]

I don't understand why players are so outraged.
Why did you play LADS if you have been so desperate for Valko?
You played for what reason then? You didn't like any of the other LI's? You don't want them to get the attention they deserve?
Srsly, whats your fucking problem lmao

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

Hoping I wake up to good news. But even if that doesn't happen, we just need to keep up the pressure. Proud of how the global community has come together!

@N1O9_LADY I don't want this yet, simply because it would be a sign that we're never getting Valko back. I personally still want to keep fighting for it.

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

@Some1random12 They think the world should revolve around them. They hated Valko because they thought his design was catered to the global/western audience, they hate the idea that we would dare to have any kind of say in this game. Truly a miserable and self-centred bunch.

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

Vindictive, manipulative, selfish. Well, the horse has bolted now, who knows how this will go. I would be upset if LADs did EOS, but them knowing that they're responsible for causing their pixel husbands to disappear would be the perfect helping of karma. You reap what you sow.

This screenshot was found on Xiaohongshu (RED), a Chinese social media platform.
A CN player is openly admitting that the backlash against Valko was a deliberate pressure tactic — not genuine feedback. They admit the complaints weren't real, that stirring up outside public opinion was part of the strategy, and that now that the goal has been achieved, other players should stay quiet so the global community doesn't find out.
Their words, not mine. Read the translation.
Papergames didn't cancel Valko because of legitimate player concerns. They caved to a manufactured campaign. And the people behind it are celebrating.
We're still here. We're not going anywhere.

@Fayumerii Thank you, this gave me a much-needed laugh. ❤️

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

@__starkissed__ I think it's better that they actually have a solid gameplan before they put out any official comms. Anything else would be half assed and pointless.

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

@Tiara_is_TMI @tabsphere It was a completely impulsive and insane thing to do. We should be able to explore controversial/risqué concepts in fiction. Censorship is a slippery slope, and the other LIs certainly have their share of problematic content too.

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

Let's show his creative team how much we appreciate the love, care and creativity that went into making him. ❤️🐺

@OhDearChiaki @tabsphere The only thing is, there are a lot of lovely, sane CN girlies who are connecting with us on X. So that could potentially harm them too.

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

@tabsphere "We're totally normal people who only wanted Valko to be removed and did that by reporting the game to the chinese government, as you do. We didn't actually want the game to get shut down and to lose our partners 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺" FAFO

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

@flittingfizz I'm seriously worried that they'll suspend the service for two months then never come back...

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

@__starkissed__ I'm a Caleb main, and I'm fighting tooth and nail to get Valko back. No way in hell is the MS update going to make this all go away. If anything, it will be bittersweet and remind me of what we lost.

And still, after everything you wrote, Valko himself had nothing to do with Unit 731.

You could have demanded accountability. You could have demanded explanations. You could have demanded changes, apologies, transparency, and better treatment for CN players — all of that would have been understandable.
But removing an entire character was not the solution.

You could have chosen not to celebrate when he was cancelled. You could have chosen not to laugh at global players who were devastated. You could have shown the company that deleting him only made things worse.

And if you don’t care about us, what about the CN players who loved him too? I saw Chinese girls who liked Valko, and I saw how they were treated when they dared to show affection for him. Why is it acceptable to hurt them too?

Why does disliking a character mean he has to be erased for everyone?

As you said yourselves, deleting him does not fix the deeper problems. So why support that outcome? Why ride that wave instead of telling the company that this decision was also wrong?

The developers are not the executives. They worked on him. Artists, writers, animators, designers, VAs — real people put time, effort, and resources into creating him. Does none of that matter?

And why bring up 731 now, when that content had already existed in the game for some time? Why did Valko become the target?

Not everyone will like every character. That is normal. But that does not mean a character should be deleted from the game entirely.

Global players are around 40% of the game’s revenue. That is not a small number. We are not irrelevant.

And a lot of what you described above is localization. Games do this all the time. It does not automatically mean disrespect. Global players also complained when Caleb’s story felt changed or culturally flattened, and over time the company listened. So why destroy everything instead of pushing for better handling?

If you see how devastated global players are after his cancellation, why not help us push back against the company? CN players have more influence by nature. You know that.

We have respected CN players’ concerns many times. We have followed your discussions. We have tried to understand your side.

So why, when global players finally have one serious fight of our own, are you not helping us?

This should not be CN versus global. The company failed both sides. But cancelling Valko punished players who did nothing wrong — including CN players who loved him.

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

@softbewitcher If they bring him back, i'll main him with Caleb. Because with the absolute shitstorm going on, I know that bringing him back is a massive risk for Infold and I would have to support that to prove that they made the right choice. Imagine he flops after everything we're doing.

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

@mrsedenlandau Were these people not raised properly? 😭

[Reelo 🍏🍎 @Reelo1993]

I wonder what the toxic CN girlies will do once they realise that the fire they started has become bigger than anyone can control and will likely lead to the end of LADs and their pixel husbands? Probably double down and pretend they wanted it all along. #VALKO

[Ash🪼 #BringBackValko @sirenmelodiess]

Woke up, saw this insane edit and now I’m sad all over again :( bring him back ffs
