I'm a CN player. I'm a Caleb stan. And I'm done being polite about this.

You don't get to call an entire player base racist while knowing absolutely nothing about what actually happened. So sit down and read.

CN players didn't wake up one morning and decide to cancel a character because of his skin color. We spent 500+ days waiting for main story updates that never came. We watched the company fail to deliver content for five existing characters while announcing a sixth — breaking an explicit promise of "no new love interests." In 2025, Love and Deepspace ranked #1 on China's largest consumer complaint platform with 3,406 cases about unequal resource distribution. This rage was years in the making. Valko was the last straw, not the cause.

Then we found a drug experimentation record inside the game numbered 0731. If that means nothing to you, that's your ignorance, not our problem. Unit 731 was a Japanese military program that conducted live human experiments — vivisections, biological warfare, forced infections — on thousands of Chinese civilians and POWs during WWII. The in-game record included the name 严颂, a phonetic match to Japanese researchers from the unit, within a full narrative of injection protocols, endurance testing, and forced mental control. Players reported this through customer service when it first launched. It was ignored. The company later called it "a random placeholder number." Six state media systems, a national think tank, and a prosecutor's office publicly called that a lie.

Now let me tell you why you had no idea about any of this.

The company deliberately gutted every trace of Chinese identity from your version of the game. Chinese New Year's Eve was deleted from the script. The Lantern Festival greeting was removed across every language version — Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean — while the holiday imagery was kept, proving it was a deliberate directive, not a translation choice. Mid-Autumn Festival was renamed to a fictional name. Christmas and Halloween? Kept their real names. Chinese text was manually redrawn out of cutscene animations. Chinese food was erased from date scenes — four date menus, zero Chinese dishes, in a game made by a Chinese company. A calligraphy illustration had its Chinese characters scrubbed for international release. A government-backed collaboration promoting Chinese sports culture at the Asian Winter Games was posted three times domestically and zero times on any international channel.

You were handed a product that was systematically stripped of its origin. And now you have the audacity to tell us our concerns don't matter — while consuming a game built on Chinese players' money and Chinese creators' labor.

The apology letter you received was also different from ours. Your version said "we weren't ready to introduce Valko." Our version acknowledged broken promises, failed content delivery, and systemic trust collapse. Same company, same decision, two completely different explanations — designed so that you'd blame us instead of them. And it worked. Here you are, calling us racist, while the company that lied to both of us watches from the sidelines.

And let me be absolutely clear about where things stand right now. This is no longer a player dispute. This is no longer about your feelings or ours. The Chinese government has taken notice. As of today, state media outlets at every level — from central party organs to provincial papers, from the national women's federation to the legal system — have published critical coverage demanding accountability. A prosecutor's office has issued a formal legal characterization of the game's content as violating regulations on public morality and national sentiment. State media are calling for the company to undergo "fundamental reform." Whether this company can survive what comes next is an open question.

Your anger in our comment sections changes nothing. The character was not cancelled because of tweets or Reddit threads. It was cancelled because institutional power stepped in. And that same institutional power is still escalating, not retreating. You are screaming at the wrong people about a situation you fundamentally do not control and do not understand.

So no. We are not "xenophobic" for refusing to let a company monetize our historical trauma. We are not throwing "toddler tantrums" for demanding accountability after 500 days of broken promises. And we are certainly not going to apologize for defending a position that our own government, our own judiciary, and our own national media have now publicly endorsed.

You want to be angry? Be angry at the company that decided you didn't deserve the truth.

Or don't. But understand this: your ignorance was manufactured, your outrage was engineered, and the people you're defending don't even respect you enough to tell you the same story they told us.

One last thing. Before you reply, ask yourself whether you can dispute a single fact in this post — not with feelings, not with "well I don't care about 731," not with "China is racist" — but with a single verifiable fact that proves anything I said is wrong. If you can't, then you don't have a counterargument. You have a reaction. And reactions don't change reality.

Every claim above is backed by public data, official media coverage, in-game evidence, and documented company behavior. If you choose to ignore all of it because it's easier to blame Chinese players than to confront what this company did to all of us, that's your choice. But don't mistake your comfort for the truth.

I’m reading through this entire mess and from what I’ve seen from the Chinese girlies is that

1. Experiment 731 were legitimate experiments that happened in WWII and is an extremely sensitive topic in China. It killed thousands so many are disturbed by it being directly referenced and used as a major plot point.

2. Apparently the banner where he shows up outside MC’s apartment is a direct reference to a real criminal stalking case that happened in China. I’ve seen people say some of the voice lines are very similar to details from that case, though I can’t personally verify whether that’s true. If it is true, I think there’s a difference between exploring a fantasy in fiction and potentially drawing direct inspiration from a real life stalking case involving an actual victim.

3. They haven’t updated the main story for like 500 days and I guess this guy was gonna be the update to the main story (so the other LIs will be referenced but won’t be in the ms) and they want regular main story updates

4. There was some sort of material (idk if it was official or not bc I looked for it but can’t find it anywhere) where Valko is teasing the other LI’s and some girls have interpreted this as Valko being bisexual (I don’t agree with this one personally but it’s just what I’ve seen floating around)

5. Just some other complaints about his overall character and lack of effort from Infold and also that the banners are incredibly intense and constantly are happening back to back to back which puts players in a tough position.

If there are any CN LaDs players who can provide more context or clarification, I’d genuinely appreciate it. I’m still trying to look into everything myself, and it’s been difficult sorting through all the information and claims going around. For the record, I’m only repeating what I’ve seen others discuss please don’t think I’m independently verifying or confirming any of it.

Honestly, all of this is incredibly shocking.
