Mother is here with hopium!
First of all, the angel number fits too well. I literally JUST took this screenshot after I posted my report.
Like I said in my AM report, we're already doing very well! Here's a post talking about the articles that have been taken down.
Here's an excel sheet talking about all of the good things we've done during the protest in Valko's honor.
Let me reiterate a few pieces of hopium that I've posted before:
Valko's coding still exists in the game! I actually saw a post where Caleb had Valko's nose. Here's the link. This was really funny to me.
You cannot use Valko or Ao Yin as a nickname in the game. This was verified by several players. The only words you cannot use as nicknames are names of LIs and NPCs.
Here's a post of CN girls gathering outside of Infold and leaving gifts for Valko. He is so very loved.
Here's a little piece of the main story that hints at Valko already being present. He's been in the background of the game for a LONG time. They're not going to simply throw him away when he's this important.
We were promised a main story update in 6.0, which hasn't released yet. Remember that Caleb wasn't released until the second patch of 3.0. Even 5.0 was split into patches: 5.0.0 on 12/31/25, 5.0.1 on 1/22/26, and 5.0.2 on 2/19/26. With this kind of schedule, we could be looking at getting Valko in late July/early August.
Infold's silence is not necessarily a deliberate choice—they aren't ignoring us. They're fighting a battle against the media. Allow me to remind you that "under the PRC Civil Code, companies have a legally protected reputation. If a news outlet, blogger, influencer, or another company publishes false statements that damage a company's reputation, the company can file a civil lawsuit." They may very well already be in a legal battle. We found out several days ago that police had launched an investigation into those posting hateful and malicious comments on social media. That investigation would lead them straight to these news outlets.
I know this situation has caused a lot of stress and anxiety, but I urge you to look at the situation as logically as possible.
Cancelling Valko's release was not something Infold wanted. They defended him against antis. It was the media that caused this.
We are actively helping to change the narrative surrounding Valko, and our CN sisters are helping in every way they can. Some articles have already been removed! It's only a matter of time before the truth comes to light.
Every company has a legal team, and Infold's reputation is protected by law. They have every right to pursue legal action.
I've heard a RUMOR that CN girls are also pursuing legal action against the media that spread misinformation. Let them handle things in their country, and we'll do what we can in ours.
I don't know if this will be a comfort to all of you, but it's somewhat of a comfort to me. We cannot control the situation. Learn to be okay with understanding that. We are doing everything we can, and it's enough. This situation is not our fault. Our greatest strength is our voice, and we're using it.
The truth will always prevail. Love will always overcome hate. That doesn't mean the battle will be easy or short, but the facts are on our side.
I love you all. Please take care of yourselves. Mother is off to war.
