They should have never posted that LinkedIn article. It confirmed to me that:
They intend to move on from the valko situation like nothing happened
They think they can operate business as usual after the cancellation
They have the audacity to post on professional website about creative work protection ( probably meaning only focusing on 5/6 characters is their “protection”)
But them deleting means;
They are trying to run from accountability
Socially professionally and non professionally their reputation in the spaces that matters is overshadowed by their decision.
They have really become sort of stigmatized professionally
The boycott is working
We hit their reputation even more by sharing stories and reaching out to more buisness firms.
To everyone celebrating the CN fighter girls leaving: what exactly are you celebrating?
These girls organized over 100 screens, the truck, and two buses. They were out there doing the actual work and putting in the effort to make our voices heard where it matters.
What have YOU done for the boycott? Did you stop spending AND logging in? Did you delete the game?
Or are you just sitting here criticizing the people who are actually fighting for Valko, while you’re still logging into the game and playing like nothing happened?
Losing one of the most active parts of this movement is not a "win". And you celebrating it is fucking embarrassing.
Stop dragging the people who are actually putting in the work.

I support Fenmao💯 she's one of the most dedicated CN Valkyries I've ever seen, and she put herself on the front lines so many times, for months, she had done so much for Valko. I'm glad she's having some peace now and that she's safe. But now that we lost her, lord helps us😭 satan you can help too, Infold/yrh deserves to be in hell🔥🔥🔥
#Reject5LiMulti #ReinstateValkoNow
@AwoooVALKO@Lucydragneelhe3 В какой момент защита Валко и просьбы его вернуть превратились в травлю русскоязычных и русских? Что происходит, она с головой вообще дружит?
Это же поведение 100% как у антис и CDG, "если вы мне не верите, то вы враг народов и я обращусь в посольство"
That post is not about Valko, sorry.
The screenshot below shows a conversation between Sandra @Lucydragneelhe3 and the person who organized the airport banners. While I am forever grateful for them, what we see in this conversation is generalization based on nationality and racism, which I strongly disagree with.
Yes, even the best of us can make mistakes, that’s precisely why it is crucial to always demand proof. Anyone who understands how propaganda works will demand evidence to avoid spreading rumors and escalating the conflict. (Sandra escalated it - half the people didn't even know about the Faomao)
1. I hate to repeat this, but NOT EVERYONE who speaks russian to communicate is Russian. The russian language was FORCED upon other USSR countries for decades. Russian is an official language in: Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. There are numerous native speakers in Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Lithuania, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
If this isn't clear to you, Sandra and your Chinese sister, it's like calling you AMERICAN just because you speak English. And yes, the "genius" of grok cannot translate even half of the national languages of these countries.
By calling these people Russian, you are touching upon one of the most painful generational traumas.
2. Steam really is banned in Russia. And X, discord, google, spotify, telegram, whatsapp, and many other platforms are also banned in Russia. As you can see, we have no trouble using them.
It's true that we like CN games, but only because China VERY actively promotes them in Russia on national platfforms. If you and your friend think this makes us crazy or bad at boycotting, I have no comments.
After all, it's so much fun to consider us unreasonable just because our gov restricts us. (Yes, the gov itself bans both the services that left AND the ones that stayed.)
3. "Russians attacked" is a lie. You simply made a mistake and faced criticism. Not only Russian speakers are writing to you, I’ve read your replies.
People from various countries were writing to both you and AL. I believe that they, like me, were banned after their first post. You also recently quoted a Russian-speaking girl who SUPPORTED you.
4. I saw the PDF file sent to Sandra. It was sent to me earlier. If you only knew how often people slide into my dms with "urgent info."
But what is actually in that document? Is there anything useful for Valko? Of course not. That’s why I ignore it: I prefer NOT to spread rumors and things I’m not sure about myself, or post things that don’t help the boycott.
Sandra, without realizing it, and simply defending your own stubbornness, you are turning more "peaceful" Russian speakers away from the boycott.
Just like AL, you could have simply admitted you made a mistake, rephrased the post, and moved on. For a week now, I’ve been reading about how "?Russians? are bad," even though they aren't even RUSSIANS, nor are they bad. I read mocks about us being jailed by the police and having everything banned.
Do I really need to repeat that none of us support doxxing? Do you know how hard it is for doxxing victims in Russia? People were arguing with you specifically to defend a person who was put up for public mockery without 100% proof of their guilt.
All of your critics used to support you. They wrote letters to the https://t.co/0lDB3Nynqp (ss2) just look at how many letters came from Russia and CIS countries on the site.
We also donated to charity, created fan art, and celebrated the airport billboards. If none of this means anything to you simply because you dislike criticism, then so be it.
Dear Valkyries, please stay strong. I understand that all of this makes you want to give up. But you have all done more than Infold could have ever imagined. Don't let another bold statement divide us.
It might be selfish on my part to ask you to keep going and not be angry at Sandra, but I will ask you anyway. If she isn't donating and isn't logging in, she is boycotting. Please be angry at Infold.
Thank you and happy 3rd of september!
если вы не понимаете то вот почему злые русские вас домогаются – вы лицемерные лгуньи, верите очевидным выбросам, не можете привести адекватные пруфы, устраиваете раскол и срачи, вместо того чтобы реально делать что то
вы стоите пока кто то достает его, но еще и руки им отрубаете
"Pathetic, gullible fools." That is what the antis are calling you.
We Fighters ruin "all the fun" for you. You Pacifiers ruin the entirety of the boycott.
Go ahead, rejoice as you stab people on your own side in the back. Pick them out one by one until one day there is no one left that stands with you but a group of backstabbers.
Fenmao put her own money for Valko. One of the first and loudest voices on the CN side. She helped organize the busses, the truck, the Cologne screens, the constant trend of Valko tags on weibo as well as seeing him everywhere in the top comments. She rallied so many CN Valkyries to raise their voices when they were afraid.
The CN pacifists have gone to such lengths to dox, harass, and smear her, mirroring perfectly the movements of the CDGs during Valko's announcement week, so Fenmao had to step back to protect her safety and the rest of the boycotters. Now they are celebrating this as an opportunity where they’ve finally managed to hit the boycott in its Achilles’ heel. Meanwhile, they themselves have done nothing but tell everyone to defend Infold, attack their rivals instead, stop the boycott, and start spending again.
With "allies" like these who needs enemies?
#Reject5LiMulti #ReinstateValkoNow #NoValkoNoInfold
When people are celebrating something that Ursula is celebrating, it shows you exactly where they stand.
A side of our 'boycott' is so eager to get rid of the Fighter girls because we are what is keeping the boycott alive. We are holding people responsible. We are making it difficult for them to play the game in peace and pull and pay with no scrutiny. Once we are all gone they will cheer for they can finally take off their performance clothes. The antis will cheer along with them. And everything will go back to before June 22nd. Like Valko never existed.
#Reject5LiMulti #ReinstateValkoNow
idk about you all but i followed fenmao on weibo, and all of her posts (that ive read) has been rationally supporting valko. she brought up alot of good points, brought valko traffic to lads super topic, she has good followings & i think large portion of valko supporters mainly agrees with her. so idk much about her other drama, but she's one of the loudest but still a rational supporter imo. so idk if losing her is something we should celebrate 🤷🏻♂️ i think they got the wrong person.
while 9m9 here still roaming inciting her followers trashing other LI birthday perfume designs & the loudest valko's hater, the reason why we're in this horrible situation, why are ppl not doing anything with her?
Fenmao worked Valko duty like it was a best payed job. Those who had Weibo and common sense could see how hard she was working.
Even when her words were more harsh, she never lied in what she said.
Our reality is fucked up and whoever is spreading hate and lie about people from our side is no friend to me or this boycott.
THIS is how Valko was canceled, framed f9r something he is not.
Stop spreading hate, boycott works.
🚨
DO NOT spend money, DO NOT login. Now more then ever we should stay strong.🚨
P.S. And you better hope it is not actually ppg who caused this.
What exactly are you celebrating?
Shady accounts keep spoon-feeding you recycled screenshots that have been reposted, cropped, rearranged and stripped of context three times over, and somehow nobody even wants to stop and untangle what actually happened. You just swallow whatever they bring you as long as it comes with the magic word “radical.”
Then an active pro-Valko girl gets targeted, gets scared for her personal safety and hides her account, and the reaction is basically “YAY, WE GOT ONE! 🎉”
Wow. Amazing boycott achievement, guys. Another active Valco supporter gone while Ursula is still sitting comfortably on her account.
And this is what we’re spending our energy on? Hunting “radicals” based on third-hand screenshots and accusations from questionable accounts while the people actually working against Valco are still right fucking there?
You keep talking about fact-checking. Then fact-check. Stop eating whatever pre-chewed garbage random accounts put in your hands and look around.
Congratulations, I guess. Great priorities. 👏
#Reject5LiMulti #ReinstateValkoNow #BringValkoBack #LADSIS6 #PPGSpeakUp
Please don’t trust this account "chnwn188603"! They are NOT trying to bring Valko back. They’re defending Infold—as if a multi-million-dollar company needs anyone to defend them. Infold is more than capable of defending themselves. They don’t need fans doing it for them.
What this account is actually doing is spreading misinformation to get us to break the boycott. They want you to log in. They want you to spend. They want you to give up.
And the fact that, accounts openly claiming that DAU isn’t that important (which is a blatant lie) and logging into the game while supposedly boycotting, are supporting her says a lot.
Please don’t fall for this trap. If we give in now, we lose everything. This is literally our only chance to bring Valko back!
#Reject5LiMulti
#ReinstateValkoNow #BringBackValko
Why is someone suddenly saying that spending on games is okay? Since you joined the boycott, you should know that not spending is the basic bottom line—it's not about being radical or not
😭😭
#Valko#LoveAndDeepspace#LoveAndDeepspaceCosplay#BringValkoBack
Guys. Please don’t belive or entertain this account. They’re setting us up to have our hopes crushed. Especially when they said they think valko would be back as soon as next week.
Remember. That new law passed and they can no longer spread misinformation on CN socials, but western media doesn’t have the same protections so a lot of antis are coming here to get us to spend again. This account is asking us to spend
My personal bye bye is if the multi comes without Valko. But letting others desensitize you into just chilling if theirs a 5 multi, and gaslighting yourself, is madness. If this happens, people will log in and pull, especially if it’s spicy, majority will fold. Then we’ll watch people attack others to deflect. And it will work, just as everything has until now. History loves to repeat itself.
The goalpost keeps moving. The boycott has given no result, and instead of increasing pressure we’re decreasing it. We started with no logging in, no pulling, no paying, no mercy for infold to the mess we're in now. Everyone agreed. We were in sync.
First a particular handful of girls from here/CN told us there’s hope, Valko is definitely back July 9th. He wasn’t. Ppl got angry, self-policed, and were told: WAIT, he’s coming July 30th, Infold can’t talk, they’re under a 1 month gag order. He didn’t. We got angrier. They’d shame us. Oh, it’s this or that sensitive date. WAIT. We’d shut up and wait again.
Aug, Infold continues like nothing happened. Cracks start to show. Ppl start pulling more freely, threatening to leave the boycott if we don’t applaud them. That particular group would scream we need EVERY boycotter. Shut up and WAIT. It’s just a few dollars. Then it’s okay to log in but don’t pay. Again anger. Again self-policing, witch hunts. Again WAIT, Caleb was a test! NOW Infold will know so spread cn culture.
And in the bg always desensitization of things they knew were coming: e.g. don’t panic if Raf myth comes, nothing beats a myth that flops, actually it’s good for us. Spread fake Hopium and at then later tell you actually it's not happening but it's normal and u should still be okay about it. And voila, Raf myth. More ppl fold. But look, it’s doing terribly, everything is going as planned. Just WAIT. This'll break the camel's back! Oh, Gamescom! THIS IS IT! Shut up and let us do our thing.
Then, it’s okay to log in and pay, just pay on the third day. We need EVERYONE. Said in the same breath as they hang the boycotters pushing harder, label them and twist their words, ignorantly calling them savages who want horrible violence. While amongst themselves they have the most vile and ugly-hearted people, and they ignore or support their actions. Does it feel good to bully others and get patted on the shoulder for it? That speaks more about them than anything else they say or do during this entire boycott. When called out, they blame momentary anger, mental issues, give a non-apology, or start another witch hunt. They are allowed to do that. But ofc we aren’t.
If the multi comes with Valko, hip hip hurray, finally this will be over.
If it doesn’t (which is what I feared), you’ll hear from that same group, oh, WAIT, this was just testing the waters, after Infold has tested these fuckass waters for the Millionth time now. Or 'what matters is the main story,' so WAIT until October. Then again. WAIT for November, Then he’s coming in the next big update, WAIT until New Year’s.
Wait. Shut up. Witch.
Look back at this boycott. You are attacking people on your own side. Before labeling anyone who disagrees with your take an anti, bcs you can’t possibly be wrong, scroll back to June 30th. WE fought this together from the beginning, NOT the people you are trusting over us. We say action, they say inaction. We started with the exact same goal. Valko. But now some are singing love songs for the company that canceled him and they are claiming to boycott.
I’m not inciting a riot. If this unfortunate event comes to pass I won’t be actively part of this anyway. Just please, don’t let them brainwash you. Don’t let them turn this into a fight between ourselves. Don’t let them make you forget Valko. In the beginning we said it ourselves: this game is nothing without him. A hollow shell, incomplete and ruined. That’s what we all agreed on. That’s why we started. So don’t let them normalize every big event we lose him in.
#BringValkoBack
I’m sure that September will bring 5LI multi. @Love_Deepspace is losing money, but they can still live through another month without Valko.
Imagine they release a new banner with 5LI, very spicy, emotional, truly beautiful. Some people will lose their minds and pull, saying, “Wait until October - wolves form packs in October, it’s a sign.”
You love your main, you want to play that game and create content? That’s why you want to believe in that company.
It’s easier to play when “it’s not breaking the boycott.” And it’s easier to gather likes and views by playing on people’s hope.
Infold admires how love for Valko transforms into love for Infold with ONLY 5LI.
I don’t need that game without being heard as a customer. I don’t care about being a leader. I’m just an annoying, loud woman, still a customer. Bring Back VALKO @Love_Deepspace address us!
I have to say, I’m writing it because I feel that I’m being attacked and labeled by fellow allies due to my nationality and views; I’m losing any motivation to support them on X.
