If you see anyone spreading lies about Valko, report it to Infold — they specifically asked people in China to do this. And tell all those “trusted Chinese girls” that they should be sending the relevant materials to the company. That’s it. This is the company’s responsibility. We love Valko, we support Valko, and we should not get involved with the media. This may be another attempt to provoke us and cause even more harm to Valko. Please don’t involve the media in this. This is our situation and our matter with Infold, and that’s all. No other fandoms or anyone else are involved. Please don’t make the situation worse. Let’s just continue communicating directly with Infold and leave it at that. Either email Infold, if you really feel the need to, or simply ignore the media’s defamatory claims about the character. Infold already knows what kind of character they created, and we don’t need to keep proving it to them.

A very good example right here! 💚
I can’t tell you how much of my previous relationship I see in the relationship between #Valko and MC
How much of my IDEAL relationship I see between the two of them.
Just two dorks, being playful and loving with each other
@Love_Deepspace helped me heal and I am sure it has helped many others see what healthy relationships look like, and Valko’s romance would have been no different
Don’t let others tell you otherwise.

We fell in love with Love and Deepspace because it introduced many of us to Chinese storytelling, culture, and landmarks. The game made us want to learn more about China and even inspired some of us to hope to visit one day.
That's why this situation is so heartbreaking and quite frankly DISAPPOINTING.
Seeing this controversy framed through what we believe are inaccurate or incomplete narratives has shaken our trust because of how this specific situation has been handled and reported.
We hope for accurate reporting, fair treatment, and open communication so that trust can be rebuilt.
Women's safety is an issue that deserves to be treated with the utmost seriousness. If it is used without proper context or in a misleading way, it risks harming public trust and overshadowing genuine discussions about protecting women.

In a legal POV
It’s better they stay silent for now.
I didn’t know it went to that extent involving state media/smear campaign etc..
don’t expect them to talk to us about the situation now unless their lawyers tell them otherwise
the way all of this is debunked in caleb’s WU along with the OG poster of this on xhs admitting they did not read WU properly. y’all have GOT TO stop taking random posts in chinese as 80%-100% facts, and actually READ the source materials.
Сейчас, понимая весь масштаб происходящего, будет хорошо если сама игра сможет выжить, не говоря уже о Валко. Если тут и вправду причастны конкуренты, то они напихали в колеса инфолдам и PPG целые бревна.
Важно понимать что этот вопрос не решится за пару недель, как мы ожидаем
I honestly don't care whether you choose to continue log playing the game or not. If you're having fun? I'm happy for you.
But don't go disrespecting/making fun of people who too, are mourning the lost of their once comfort game, not just the valko mains who lost their wolf.
Have a fucking heart.
As Valko’s character design draws heavily from wolf characteristics, it is clear that significant thought was put into creating him.
His characterization reflects not only the strength and protective instincts associated with wolves, but also their social, playful, and affectionate behaviors.
Love and Deepspace has consistently drawn inspiration from a wide range of sources, particularly Chinese, incorporating cultural motifs, mythology, and symbolic elements with great attention to detail.
The game has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to adapt these influences while preserving the core meanings and characteristics behind them.
Valko’s wolf-inspired traits are therefore not simply aesthetic choices, but part of a carefully constructed character concept.
Because of this, interpreting his actions and interactions with MC as something inherently lacking playfulness or affection misrepresents the very characteristics that inspired his creation.
Such an interpretation contradicts both the established themes of his character and the real behavioral traits of wolves, whose social bonds are built through communication, trust, play, and mutual care.
Overlooking these aspects creates a portrayal that conflicts not only with the symbolism of the wolf itself, but also with the careful and respectful approach to inspiration that Love and Deepspace has consistently demonstrated throughout its history.
The scenes shown here demonstrate that this playful and affectionate dynamic is not an interpretation imposed onto Valko, but an intentional aspect of his characterization.
Valko and MC’s interactions reflect the same qualities associated with wolf social behavior: playful engagement, mutual trust, and gentle communication.
Valko often allows himself to be the target of MC’s teasing, responding with patience and tenderness, which reinforces the established portrayal of their bond as one built on comfort, affection, and companionship.

I wasn't sure whether I should share this publicly.
Over the last few days, I've watched countless discussions, debates, and arguments. Somewhere along the way, I realized that I hadn't seen many people talking directly to the developers the artists, writers, programmers, musicians, translators, QA testers, and everyone else who poured years of their lives into creating Love and Deepspace.
So I wrote this letter.
It's simply a message of gratitude and encouragement from one player to the people whose work meant more to me than they will probably ever know.
Note: This letter is addressed to the developers and creators of Love and Deepspace, not to the company's management. Supporting the developers does not automatically mean agreeing with every decision made by the company.

I came across this YouTube video by Kalvin Winters being shared on Twitter that is 39 minutes long and explains the whole Love and Deepspace and Valko situation from start to present.
It's extremely informative and also provides insight into what exactly is happening and why it happened in the first place.
Everything boils down to pretty much these two options, written by the content creator:
Best Case Scenario: Issue is blown over after a few months and Valko is quietly delayed and released
Worst Case Scenario: Valko is gone forever and LADS is scrubbing everything and pretending nothing ever happened
I hope that the former is the path Papergames/Infold chooses as that will be a beautiful way to end this madness and prove to the world that the character was never intended to be portrayed in any negative light within the game.
However, in order to do so, they will have to clear a lot of legalities with the government and potential defamation lawsuits in order to lay the foundation before they can bring Valko back.
The decision ultimately falls to Papergames themselves, not the CCP, not the press, not the fans.
At the moment for me personally, it's hard to play the game and look past the controversy, and Valko's absence from the game can be felt all over.
I think that many people feel the same way, and the way they consume the game will never be the same again since we KNOW that there once was supposed to be a 6th character to tie the story together.
And if Valko does not return and the other 5 characters absorb his intended story, then with every new story that is released from here on out, there will forever be a question of "was this plot point supposed to be Valko's or not?"
I just hope Papergames/Infold makes the right decision.
Anyone remember this event? It was my first time leaning about Embroidered Ball and I was enamored with them from the start. The skill that goes into crafting them and learning the history and significance is incredible. I hope I can see an official #Valko version someday!!
READ ‼️👏 THIS ‼️👏 RIGHT 👏‼️ NOW‼️👏
Thank you for your beautiful words.
I think this sums up perfectly what most of us are feeling and thinking.
You perfectly worded it, thank you for that.❤️
