MIDDAY REPORT — 7/4/2026
As of 12:00PM CDT—not a lot to report, but no news is better than bad news.
DO NOT—I REPEAT, DO NOT—engage with CN antis on RedNote or Weibo. They are trying to shift the narrative and say that our protest is based on sinophobia. If they succeed, it could lead to the removal of the global server. Protest with KINDNESS and RESPECT.
Ignore all kinds of negative rumors unless someone has specifically asked to help disprove them. Some insane rumors are starting to surface. FOCUS ON THE PROTEST!
HOWEVER! Infold's legal department and the local police are investigating trolls and those who spread misinformation about the game and Valko.
If my calculations are correct, we are nearing (or have already surpassed) 2 million posts on X in support of #bringvalkoback
I cannot fully confirm this, but according to CN sources, Infold is down to 1/4th of the revenue they were gaining when KoD released
Russian fans have also started donating to a wolf shelter called Wolf's Hall
Vendors at AX2026 who are selling Valko merch are doing very well! Even people who don't play LADS are buying his items.
The Valko memorial outside of AX2026 continues to grow!
It seems LADS is not doing ANYTHING on social media except observing. Their pinned posts are still for the multibanner that ended on July 2nd. They haven't even changed it to the GoA rerun.
LADS following count: Instagram 920k, X 657.3k, TikTok 894.4k, YouTube 325k
Petitions: 220.6k and 91k
KEEP BOYCOTTING AND PROTESTING! Post with the hashtags, tag Infold, interact with other positive posts, and spread the petitions.
Remember!
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 already!
Take care of yourselves. Take breaks, eat, drink water, and get plenty of rest.
