GOOOOOD morning everyone! Welcome to day FUCKING SEVEN of this FUCKASS BULLSHIT! Sorry, anyway. No word from Infold yet, but we expected as much.
REMEMBER! No posting on ANY CN apps today! By the time you're reading this, it's probably already July 7th in Chinaβa significant historical day for them. CN media is OFF LIMITS! You are still free to post on X, Instagram, and any other American media apps.
With that out of the way, I actually come bearing good news!
LADS following count: Instagram 916k, X 656.3k, TikTok 889k, YouTube 324k
Petitions: 229.5k and 93k
The raccoon plushie released is NOT limited. Users on X are drawing connections between the plushie and one of the hosts in the livestream. This could very well be a good sign for us.
Tameless Territory was officially released on NetEase Cloud Music (a Chinese Music app) at around 11:00AM on the 6th. GOOD NEWS!! They wouldn't release his theme song if they planned on keeping him unreleased.
Tameless Territory also reached over 600k streams on Spotify. This is a MASSIVE spike.
Another user made a website for spreading positivity surrounding the protest. Here's the link. It's adorable.
Caseohβs livestream chat got absolutely FLOODED with valko messages. Not sure if he commented on it, but at least we know our supporters are everywhere. Hereβs the post
RedNote is taking action against those spreading rumors and hatred. Malicious comments are getting removed left and right.
Infoldβs legal department and the local police are still investigating and gathering evidence against those who spread misinformation.
Infold has once again appeared on Weibo in the Valko Supertopic. Theyβre watching!
RUMOR: Many think Silent Whisper may be behind this. I can neither confirm nor deny. I will say, they have a character who is a Sylus clone and they recently announced a werewolf character as well. I have already expressed my opinion that this situation was part of a smear campaign by one of Infoldβs competitors. Personally, I think itβs a viable theory.
It's unlikely we will get new information today. The CN girls will be offline, as will Infold. I will still keep an eye out for anything of note, but my midday report may be more of a general summary of how the protest has gone thus far.
I saw a post going around the claimed that the 6.0 version update name was changed on RedNote. THIS IS FALSE. The English localizationβ"A Shattered Quiet"βhas always been "All Arises" or "All Awakens" in Chinese.
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. Fingers crossed that we receive SOMETHING from them.
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 tonesβthere 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.
Be optimistic friends! I have a strong feeling that the end is in sight. A good end, of course! Sending my love <3
