Good evening everyone! I know these past few days have been a lot, but we can't lose hope! We're on day six of the protest, and we've made a HUGE impact. Keep fighting!
Little note, today I purchased a wolf tracking bracelet from Fahlo! They are partnered with AZA’s Red Wolf SAFE Program, which maintains healthy Red Wolf populations under human care to aid reintroduction efforts, raise awareness for Red Wolves, and support research vital to the recovery and management of this important species. Buying the Scout (wolf tracking) bracelet gives a direct donation to the SAFE program! I paid about $20 (including shipping), so I encourage you to do the same if you're able!
The claw machine in-game was updated for CN players without any announcement from Infold. The new raccoon plush weirdly resembles one of the hosts of the 6.0 Livestream. Remember, the two hosts were a raccoon and a wolf.
LADS following: Instagram 917k, X 656.6k, TikTok 890.1k, YouTube 324k. Over 100k total followers lost. They've even resorted to bots...
Petitions: 227.5k and 92.6k
This is a link to the JP petition. Please sign it as well!
We've raised over $6,000 in 24 hours for a wolf conservation facility in China
Latin American fans are also starting a GoFundMe for an organization that protects Mexico's gray wolves.
Valko is still #7 on the most popular character list on Weibo. The other LIs and one character I don't recognize are above him, but this is massively impressive!
The8BitDrummer did a cover of Tameless Territory on one of his streams!
The CN pro-Valko girls tracking their spending have reached over 100M RMB, which is about $13.8M USD
Infold's daily revenue has hit a new low of about $88k. I know it still seems like a lot, but we're talking about a company that makes $500k a day during limited banners.
Thames Malerose cosplayed Valko today at AX2026! And there was a whole Valko meetup!
I haven't seen anything new about the legal side of things since this morning, but I can only assume the police are still investigating those who spread misinformation about LADS and Valko
The official LADS account keeps getting ratioed BAD. Just go glance at Instagram or X and look at the likes vs the comments LOL
I've seen SO many people on various platforms posting something along the lines of, "Idk anything about the game, but #bringvalkoback." Our reach is INSANE!
DO NOT interact with CN players on RedNote or Weibo. They are trying to use sinophobia as a new tactic. If you post on either site, do so respectfully and kindly. Do not respond to hateful comments.
DO NOT post on RedNote or Weibo on July 7th. Please ensure that you're paying attention to the time zone difference. July 7th is a historically important day in China. In 1937, it marks the date that Chinese troops clashed outside Beijing, triggering the Second Sino-Japanese War and the full-scale Japanese invasion of China.
If you are not currently boycotting, remember that July 9th is Blackout Day. If nothing else, DO NOT LOG IN on July 9th.
CN players' protest is different than ours. They need to raise the rating in their app stores, and we need to continue to lower ours. Both sides need to emphasize that LADS helps international players appreciate Chinese culture.
DO NOT LOG IN! We're still trying to affect their DAU metric.
Don't expect a statement from Infold until Wednesday. With Anime Expo this weekend, and a historical day in China on the 7th, it's unlikely they will say anything about the situation until then.
Keep fighting! Antis worked for seven days to get Valko's release cancelled. We have to continue to make noise in order to be louder than them. Many companies will wait out protests for a few days to see if they fizzle out.
Don't lose hope! We're making a HUGE impact!
Please remember that this boycott is not just about Valko. The CN fans deserve an apology for the 731 incident, global fans deserve recognition, we need more MC customization options for darker skin tones—there are a lot of issues involved.
Take care of yourselves. Take breaks, eat, drink water, and get plenty of rest. We're in this together <3
Notes Do NOT log into the game. We need to affect their DAU metric (daily active users) Unfollow on social media (Instagram, X, TikTok, etc.
p.s. imagine they drop 6.0 on the 9th and Valko is just there like nothing ever happened LOL hopium is copium
