— ‼️LONG THREAD on hashtag fights, paid articles & what to do now? #NoValkoNoMoney
4.8, the official Hosts of Valko's Weibo Super Topic have confirmed that the positive article(s) about him had been paid by fans. In their statement, they explained that they, "wanted to clarify +
I love that they’re bringing out a card that gives major highschool vibes when the minors in our spaces are one of the biggest issues. Really the worst PR team in history #PapergamesRuinsCNgaming#BRINGVALKOBACK#NoValkoNoMoney
you know what i think is super funny too? Antis who don’t even like caleb and are now pulling out of spite for him. As if we care lmao it just shows that you’re an immature child. Have fun with your card that you won’t use
Please read to the end before drawing conclusions.
The screenshots show an admin of the Valko super topic on Weibo. You don't have to take my word for it — go there yourself and confirm the screenshot is real and that post is actually there. She has been there since day one, like I've been here, like so many of us around the world. This tag came from our Chinese sisters, and right now a lot of people are dropping it in a panic. That's a mistake. It matters, and I'll explain why. All I ask is that you calm down, read to the end, and reach your own conclusions — I can't make your decision for you anyway.
Why is this tag needed?
First, our Chinese sisters need it so they can repost our tweets onto Weibo and force Infold to act. They can disregard us, but losing Global isn't in their interest.
Second, it hits the one place Infold actually flinches at. They can't ignore it the way they ignore any tag like BringValkoBack or NoValkoNoMoney. Please understand: in July they fell out of the top charts and lost a lot of money. They ACCEPTED that result and released Caleb's card anyway. You could read that as buying themselves time. Time for what? To add Valko? Or to finish cutting him out of the upcoming multi-banner? A company that wasn't afraid of how its community would react to its own words would have opened a dialogue with us long ago and given a final answer on Valko. They chose silence and stonewalling before LADS, in their other projects, and they are still choosing it now. It's their standard playbook.
"People started DMing us to use it, so it must be an anti!"
Yes and no. Antis spent the whole month trying to talk us into things and we didn't bite. They're capable of adapting and using reverse psychology, and it worked (not a certainty, but worth keeping in mind) — because it was the antis who originally tried to talk us OUT of using this tag. At the same time, those DMs could just as easily be from our Chinese sisters, because this genuinely matters to them. They use our tweets so their own voice carries weight and is backed by evidence. Of course they'll ask us not to stop once they see us dropping the tag. So I'll say one thing: don't trust what shows up in your DMs. Go to Weibo, read the Valko topic yourselves — that's far better than drawing conclusions from private messages. Our sisters are the ones who kept these tags in the Weibo top spots despite attempts to remove them, and I believe them. This is their request, not the antis'.
"We'll look like the antis!"
No, we won't. The antis threatened employees, sent manure, abuse animals, and bully us. And most importantly: they built their whole case on lies about Valko. Everything they accused him of was fabricated, and it was that fabrication they used to get what they wanted. Meanwhile — how many women yesterday gave up entirely, deleted the game, and said they'll never touch a Chinese game again? I saw dozens. There may be hundreds, if not thousands. It's already happening: because of LADS, because of the contempt shown to Global, people are losing trust in Chinese companies. That's a fact and we can't pretend otherwise. That's exactly why we're shouting.
"They'll shut the game down / Global EOS!"
That isn't in Infold's interest. But even if it happened — do you really want to stay in a game where you were traded for cow manure?
We are not the ones running out of chances to get Valko back. Infold is the one running out of chances to keep Global and start talking to us. They've already absorbed the financial damage. They've already seen our movement and its strength. They don't care. They'll try to ride out their decision — but this isn't only about Valko anymore.
Xavier — his story was deleted.
Zayne — the lowest banner earnings, because he was pushed out at the height of the boycott. Deliberately.
Caleb — absurd placeholders and censorship. And a solo pushed out into the boycott in place of Raphael's myth — a sacrificial lamb, so the real earner can wait for safer ground.
MC — soon we won't be seeing her face at all.
We warned this would happen, and it's already happening.
I've said what I needed to say. My call: don't abandon #PapergamesRuinsCNgaming and #PapergamesDamagingCNReputation — it's the only thing they'll hear. But whether you do it is your choice.
This is how many of the cn side are viewing the passive daydreaming side of global players rn. One of many. I don't understand the hardheadedness of some on not wanting to fight the company and just wait be fr

@epsilonerixx@eightswan@BlackRoseWrts@Love_Deepspace it’s useless trying to explain anything to these people they don’t care they like being stepped on by millionaires and sucking up to antis who abused animals, bullied us since Valko was announced and sent shit to the company.
@eightswan@CalZoneXIV@BlackRoseWrts@Love_Deepspace donating benefits society far more than sending shit and threats to the company lmao even if it was performative wich it wasn’t for me but it’s not like you’ll believe that. Please do tell me though who’s harassing you here? People who are asking to get what we were promised?
You don't have to be aggressive. You don't have to hurt real human beings & I will NOT ever support what ytms/cdg have done.
But "doing the same and expecting different results" is a truth.
I'm with CN girls. No more coddling. Force them to speak.
