It's... Amazing.

Players supporting each other, helping each other, learning more about each other, hell even people switching sides and now coming over to add their voices.

I just love that the vibe I'm getting is "Hear our voices." and "Goodness prevails."

The haters tried so many underhanded tactics to undermine everything we cared about for this game, and yet the surge pushing back is handling it with care, grace and compassion. True wolf nobility if ever I saw it, proud, strong and strength in numbers.

Keep going, my lovelies. Karma will deal with the haters, trust me 😘

I'd encourage you to do the same.

Uninstalling and requesting a refund for my annual sub and money I've spent on this game. What's the point when you just do shit like this?

Even after promising he "wasn't going anywhere" and me believing they would weather the storm until launch to see how it went. Obviously not.

IT WASN'T EVEN ABOUT HIM! IT WAS ABOUT ALL THE OTHER SHIT YOU DO TO THE PLAYER BASE! BUT SURE!

Cancel all the hard work you did, sure. Get rid of the breath of fresh air that girlies like myself, and others were looking forward to. Because apparently we get nothing at all and have to like it.

So, that was...something wasn't it?

I hit my lowest yesterday, not gonna lie. Seeing everything was like a gut punch, so I sat with my feelings for a while, cried and listened to some music.

And then I started thinking...

Quitting is what the Antis are banking on.

They're going to fucking gloat that they "won" and I realised...

I won't let them win.

We have to remember that we're dealing with unhinged, mentally ill individuals. And while I fully believe that Infold has created a monster of their own making, no person deserves to be threatened and made to fear for their lives over a video game.

You can't rationalise with mentally ill people (I should know, I work in a mental health hospital). But given that Infold was hit with multiple attacks on their HQ shortly before the 9th, it's no wonder we didn't get any form of response. We saw how the issue escalated when they doubled down on including Valko before they backtracked.

I can be patient. I really can. And I'm not saying that this hasn't been hard, I miss Caleb so much... but I want to push until they acknowledge us with something. I have to. I can't let hatred win. I won't accept it until something happens. They release Valko or the company folds.

They see us. I know they fucking do.

The censorship upsets me but the haters have already proven that they will sink to multiple lows to get anything flagged. Their rivals have money to push against them (and a certain one keeps advertising their game despite this knife attack. Bad taste but okay). My best hope is that Valko is being reworked to avoid any more controversy (but we know that when you give idiots an inch they'll take a mile so who knows).

I'm tired but quitting just gives in and I can't do that right now.

We should be proud of everything the movement did and is still doing, the charities, the trending tags, the petitions. It wasn't wasted effort, we made a real world difference, for every anti and hater, we doubled it back to make a REAL WORLD DIFFERENCE. And my god, that speaks volumes. What are they doing? Nothing except throw tantrums over a game.

I don't blame people for dropping off the protest, and I dont blame anyone for feeling low and taking time away. You need to take care of yourself first and foremost.

But I can't stop. I won't stop. Not yet.

I'm old and I'm fuelled with too much spite.

Again. Please remember that if they wanted to remove Valko, they would remove everything related to him. We still have his unlisted videos and his stories in the game. If he truly wasn't coming, everything would be gone.

I'm not stopping until this has an end.

Loves, I know the situation is so so devastating and your sadness and anger is so valid, but please I am imploring you to not just let this sit and think it's hopeless.

You can do something. Use that energy to make a stand.

Sign the petitions, leave comments on socials, etc etc. Let it come from a place of love! Because that's why we're so hurt right? We fell in love straight away! We wouldn't be this upset and outraged if we didn't care.

Idk, I was sitting with my thoughts because I'd seen some videos and things like "We'll never see xyz, we'll never get this scene." and I don't want that to come across as doom and gloom, you know?

Never say never.

We have nothing to lose, but they do.

Please take care of yourselves and push as much as you feel you can, even if it's just sending an email. You're adding your voice.

"I will not go gentle into that good night. I'm gonna be a massive dramatic bitch about it."

Where were you when all this hate campaign started?

Apparently Infold is having an emergency meeting due to the backlash! 😬🐺
