Before I jump into the AM report, I want to take a second to thank all of you for the support on these posts. I started them simply because I wanted to use the small platform I have to get as many people involved in this movement as possible. I'm truly honored that so many of you appreciate them. I promise I won't let you down 🫡

Vorpal Sword Entertainment Syndicate (a voice acting studio that works with Infold) posted in support of #bringvalkoback
#bringvalkoback is trending in 43 countries!
I'm not sure where this is, but a large crowd gathered to see a billboard of Valko here
Another X user is starting a fundraiser for a wolf conservation center here
Valko's theme has become LADS's most popular song on Spotify and Apple Music
CyYu has spoken up about the situation, as well as several other well-known creators
AX2026 has changed their Twitch settings so that only people who have been following them for a week or more can access the chat. After the way we flooded the live chat yesterday, we can only assume it's because of us
The CN fans have reached a new total spending amount of 84.3 million RMB (over 12M USD)
Several people who work in business and marketing (including myself) are agreeing that the most logical thing for Infold to do is bring Valko back. If they don't, the effects could be catastrophic for their company—and that's not an overstatement
RUMOR: people have pointed out that the wording and lack of official seal on Infold's statement about Valko are suspicious. Many people have started believing this could all be a PR stunt to test our reactions.
Chinese Cultural heritage: we need to be more vocal about how LADS has helped players learn about Chinese heritage and culture. This will help to calm the bad press Infold is getting in China.
Respecting the Craft & Creative Freedom: emphasize the amount of work that went into creating Valko and his storyline. We CANNOT be okay with the work of developers, artists, VAs, etc. getting thrown away so easily.
Unity: it's very important we continue to work as a group. Personally, I have never seen the LADS fandom so united. We also need to emphasize the importance of representation and diversity in the fandom and game.
A Stance Against Bullying. Love over Hate: Infold literally folded under pressure from bullies. This is LOVE and Deepspace. The six love interests are meant to allow everyone to find something they like. We also need to continue donating to and raising awareness for charities, like the wolf conservation centers.
Chocolate: Since the fandom has agreed Valko loves chocolate, we can try to get some chocolate companies involved.

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.
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.
To all of my fellow Americans, have a happy fourth! I'm going to do my best to still give you a midday and PM report. The fight for Valko continues! Sending my love!
