the people saying to just accept infolds decision to cancel valko and move on are so fucking hypocritical when theyre on the same side as the ones who refused to accept infolds decision to release him in the first place.
Come here, babies, gather 'round. Mama's gotta talk to you about something. ❤️
This time tomorrow is when, on a normal day, we'd start watching the feed for an expected announcement within the hour.
And since a lot of people (myself included) suspect we will hear something tomorrow, I wanted to help set some expectations and maybe hope to ease some nerves in advance.
First of all, I want to begin with: A LOT OF WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY IS NOT FACTUAL. IT IS SPECULATION AND EDUCATED GUESSES BASED ON ACTUAL PROVABLE INFORMATION WE'VE GOTTEN.
Please, by all means, feel free to fact check me or correct me, and if I've gotten something wrong, drop it in the comments. (Or if you can't comment, hit me up in SP, or have someone we're mutuals with DM me and I'll add you back).
Many of us feel that Infold will make a statement tomorrow. I go into why *I personally* think that's the case here (https://t.co/eNrx5Xv8Mu) but that's not really what I want to break down right now.
IF there is an announcement tomorrow, there's no real way of knowing what time. Midnight in China is 12pm EST / 9am PST in the US. Now I highly doubt they have something ready to fire right at midnight, but this is *technically* the earliest we could see something.
However, their last 2 notices went out at 2pm EST ("We're not canceling Valko"), which was 2am their time, and 8am EST (We're canceling Valko), which was 8pm their time.
So WHO really fucking knows. 😂
All this to say: WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME, so set your expectations accordingly there.
And while we're setting expectations, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW, if they WILL make a statement tomorrow. It's just highly speculated that they will, but that's not a guarantee.
In the event that they DO NOT make a statement tomorrow, that DOES NOT mean it's over.
There could still be a lot of reasons they go into the 9th without saying a word.
Like I mentioned above, we don't have any DEFINITIVE PROOF (emphasis on definitive), but we can make inferences that there may be legal things at play, due to the news that we have seen about police cracking down on the spread of misinformation and online harassment in China.
If Infold DOES NOT make any sort of statement, that then starts to become my suspicion: That they are still locked up in some legal battle that they are *legally* not allowed to discuss. It may not be that they are intentionally ignoring us, but that they literally cannot speak at the moment.
What that looks like for the 9th, I couldn't even begin to guess with confidence. I have ideas of how it could go, but I don't want to just put anything out there all willy-nilly, because that is how mis-information spreads, lmao.
There is ALSO the possibility that there are no legal issues at play here preventing them from speaking, and they are simply waiting for everyone to tire themselves out and move on. I personally feel this is the least likely reason for their silence, considering they are in a financial free-fall at the moment, but... this wouldn't be the first time they fucked something up, would it? LOL
And that is why, if they *don't* make a statement tomorrow, its important that we stick to the cause, we don't allow ourselves to falter, we support one another, 👏🏻WE IGNORE THOSE TRYING TO BAIT US AND MAKE US LOOK BAD👏🏻, and keep a careful watch on things, fact-checking and asking questions for context and clarification as we go along.
I don't want anyone to lose hope (I do still have hope), but I don't want anyone to be whiplashed into deep disappointment again either if the answer is still silence.
It's not over until it's over.
Remember there *are* positive signs.
* It's a fact that his videos have not been deleted. They are hidden on platforms that have that function, and still up public on platforms that don't.
* It's a fact that they released his song the day they canceled him on Spotify
*It's a fact that they released his song YESTERDAY to NetEase, a CN music service.
*It's a fact that they *are* losing money hand over fist right now since they announced his cancelation
*It's a fact that the Discord channel for Valko is still open
*It's a fact that they have been checking socials as evidenced by their logging on to view super topics on the CN platforms. (ie. they SEE us)
All of this to say that if they are silent tomorrow, WE ARE NOT DONE YET.
Take breaks.
Be there for each other.
Keep pushing until we've reached our goal.
I know you're tired. I am too, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself.
They quite literally cannot be silent FOREVER. ❤️
Be well friends. ❤️

‼️ATTENTION‼️ From the moment of this post it’s officially 7th of July in China which is a very sensitive day. DO NOT POST ANYTHING ON CHINESE SOCIAL PLATFORMS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS!!
That only applies to Chinese platforms so on global we need to try twice as hard during this time!

@LuciaChan0119 i've been seeing your posts on my feed, and they're so lovely. 💖
i've been reading translated cnovels since 2019, and i don't know if you've talked about it, but will you discuss how wolves are used in chinese idioms? (i.e. white-eyed wolf; heart of a wolf, lungs of a dog).
