@HungryAthena@sourbabyapple Damn I missed the preorder 😭 my work bag is finally on its last limbs and was at a con all weekend but my mind instantly went to this to be my new bag. Excited for the next batch!
i'm somehow simultaneously horny as hell and also asexual and crave male attention but want to be left alone and have completely given up on dating and also still believe in true love
The date is 29th of July 2026. Infold announces a new live. Just 4 days later their CEO apologises in tears. He confirms Valko will be back and everyone gets 50 wishes + 30k diamonds. The next day, edits are going insane. Valko is indeed back. Everyone cries hugging each other.

This would’ve been my first time getting to experience a new love interest drop with the community since I started playing, and now there’s so much unease and uncertainty 😔
#ValkoisLoved#BringBackValko
I’m sad about Valko, but the thing I’m genuinely the most sad about is losing the version of me from June 28-29
I haven’t been that excited and literally kicking-my-feet giggling about something in a very long time. I was SO happy. And that got taken from me 😞

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.

- new Tete-a-Tete
- we can make them not wear a certain clothes
and we knew nothing nor they announced nothing wow
💭🧵 How I think the LaDs guys would react if you told them that a character was unfairly removed from one of your favorite games before he was even released ↓ #BringBackValko
