Hello Everyone!

We may have been a little quiet today, but a lot of work has been going on in the background! As of now, we already have over 2,000 members in our discord and an ever-expanding dedicated team. https://t.co/hyWu16YfTb

❗Please note that we temporarily paused entry due to a potential raid and will open it back up shortly.❗

Let me address everyone real quick.

REGARDING HASHTAGS

Since #BringValkoBack has been twisted by some CN entities to mean "release him back into the forest where he came from," we are going to slowly let go of it. Let's keep things coherent and use tags that cannot be misinterpreted:

#ValkoIsInnocent #ValkoIsLoved #WeWantValko

❗Note: On TikTok/Instagram etc., you might still want to use #bringbackvalko or #bringvalkoback for discoverability, since a lot has already been built on those tags. But for X, we can definitely drop it.

1️⃣If you are someone who is taking a break and just needs to do the minimum, all you have to do every day is the following:

🐺Do not spend money.

🐺Do not log in (or reduce your playtime). Even if you log in, Infold can see you're not spending and playing less — and that's very useful. Let's not judge anyone who finds it hard to stop.

🐺Send an email to support (If you mention you're not spending money because Valko is gone it will get priority) You can find a sample letter and e-mails here: https://t.co/UE6OEEHmK2

🐺Leave a polite 2-star review in the app store if you haven't already. (Keep it rational and well-written so Infold cannot request to have it removed. Explain why you cannot recommend the game without including emotions or hate. A 2-star review is also less likely to be taken down.)

🐺Make one Valko post with his tags

🐺Then go rest.

2️⃣For those looking to do more, we are going to do a lot of work on Discord now because we are making divisions with dedicated teams and leaders! There will be a lot of structural changes coming, so please bear with us while we make everything even cleaner and more organized. There will be a full guide to all the divisions and channels once we're done.

⭐Divisions: If you are interested in participating in any of these teams, DM me directly! (You don't need to DM about boycott activities because everyone is involved automatically.)

🍫1. Boycott Activities
(General strategies / zone rallies)
We still need a team captain for Zone 1

🍫2. Media
(News, journalism, official fan accounts, external coverage, outreach, and records)

🍫3. Info Eon Core,
(Info Review / Misinformation Alert / Realistic Takes)
This is already a very strong team, so only DM if you think you have relevant experience.

🍫4. Fundraising (Live projects, records, management)

🍫5. Art (Archives/ Commissions / projects)

🍫6. International (CN / JP / Translation projects +)

Let us cook! 👩‍🍳

Quick reminder for the Valko community:

You're going to see aggressive posts, bait tweets, and people calling you names for supporting this campaign. That's expected. What do you need to do?

- Don't reply.
- Don't quote tweet.
- Don't engage.

Every reply you give a hater is engagement. Engagement feeds the algorithm. The algorithm shows their post to more people. You are literally doing their marketing for them.

- Block.
- Mute.
- Move on.

Our numbers speak louder than their insults. 240K+ signatures. Charity campaigns with real media coverage. CN creators changing public opinion from the inside. A cultural bridge that gets stronger every day.

They have caps lock. We have results.

I need to say something, and I'm not going to be diplomatic about it.

There are voices in this community right now pushing for a class-action lawsuit against Infold from the US. I want to be absolutely clear: I do not support this. I will never support this. And I'm asking every single person reading this to think before they follow that path.

Here's what a lawsuit does:
— It turns our campaign from "players who love Valko" into "Americans suing a Chinese company." That's the headline. That's all anyone will see.
— It gives every hater, every state media outlet, and every person who wanted Valko gone exactly what they need to paint us as hostile foreigners.
— It hands Infold an excuse to never engage with us. Why would they listen to a community that's suing them?
— It destroys the cultural bridge we've spent weeks building with CN players who support Valko's return.
— And legally? Valko was never released. Nobody paid for him directly. The case has no foundation. It would be dismissed, and the only thing left would be the damage to our reputation.

And here's the thing that makes this even more frustrating: the bridge IS working.

Right now, our sisters in China are creating videos debunking what state media said about Valko and changing public opinion from the inside. One of the most popular videos already has 43K likes and 24K comments, the majority positive. CN players are doing the hardest, most dangerous part of this fight: challenging their own media narrative on their own platforms, in their own language, at their own risk. And they're winning.

That is what real advocacy looks like. Not a lawsuit filed from the safety of California.

We have 230,000+ signatures. We have charity campaigns with real-world media coverage. We have CN polls showing 69% of players would leave without Valko. We have the sealed June 29 statement proving Infold defended his name 24 hours before being forced to cancel him. And now we have CN creators shifting public opinion in real time. THAT is our case. Not a courtroom.

And while I'm here, I'm also not going to stay quiet about something else.

If you are attacking another game's characters by calling them ugly, you are doing the exact same thing the haters did to Valko. The exact same thing. You cannot say "Valko deserves love and respect" and then turn around and trash another game's designs. That's not advocacy. That's hypocrisy. And if anyone in the CN community screenshots that behavior next to our hashtags, we lose everything those creators are building.

And if you're out here saying "never trust Chinese games", you need to sit down and think about what you're actually saying. Valko IS a Chinese game character. Made by Chinese artists. Written by Chinese writers. The people fighting hardest to bring him back ARE Chinese players. Painting an entire country's gaming industry as untrustworthy because one company made a decision under pressure is not criticism. It's xenophobia. And it has no place in this campaign.

This campaign was built on three things: verified facts, visible love, and cultural respect. If your actions contradict any of those three pillars, you are not helping Valko come back. You are making it harder.

I didn't spend weeks building something real, the wolf conservation project, the charity donations, the fact-checking, the bridge with CN players, to watch it get buried under a lawsuit headline and screenshots of us doing what the haters did.

Block those people. Draw the line. Love is stronger than hate.

@JW_LAD_ Xavier... 🤭 It's strongly implied he founded the Hunter's Association. He probably owns the company that makes the uniforms too. Maybe it's called "Bunny's Uniforms" 😆
