GOOOOOOD MORNING VALKO CREW! Typing this from my desk at work as I train a new employee LOL I might be employed but I still have to clock in for my shift at the bullshit factory.
LADS following count: Instagram 916k, X 656.1k, TikTok 887.7k, YouTube 324k
Petitions: 232.3k and and 93.7k
The cover of Tameless Territory was changed—it's no longer Valko. BEFORE YOU START TWEAKING!! None of the LI's theme songs have them as the cover. Infold could have just as easily deleted the song, but they didn't. Don't see this as a bad thing!
Tameless Territory is up to over 800k streams on Spotify! And it's their top song on Apple Music
We've surpassed 3.5 million posts on X, and we're still trending eight days in!
An official post from RedNote states that they announced new measures against online abuse (doxxing, personal attacks, harassment, etc). 27,435 pieces of online abuse-related content were blocked. 5,171 posts were removed. Action has been taken against 532 accounts. Not all of these are in relation to #bringvalkoback, but I'd wager that a good portion of them are. See post here.
Valko will have TWO billboards in Time Square on July 9th, courtesy of Fangirl Fetes!
Strobe lights were spotted in one of the offices in the Infold HQ building. Y'all celebrating something or..? See post here.
CN fans are feeling optimistic! The Weibo supertopic is almost entirely positive posts, and our overseas sisters are encouraging us to remain hopeful
One user on X posted a screenshot of her LADS game. "Download resources for upcoming storyline in advance? Approximately 2806.5M in total." So...SOMETHING is coming.
Infold got caught lurking in the Weibo again. They ARE watching us, even if they haven't said shit in a MF WEEK.
Copium of the day: Infold implemented an update AFTER Valko's cancellation announcement (the raccoon plush). After said update, the "coming soon" graphic was not removed. If they planned on sticking to the announcement, surely they would've gotten rid of it.
There are some posts circulating that say LADS is not on the map for Bilibili World. They are simply in a different venue. As far as we know, they are still participating in the event.
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 until it is July 8th in Beijing. At the time of this post, it is 9:30PM.
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.
Not sure when to expect a statement from Infold. They'll be inactive on the 7th, and Bilibili World starts on July 10th and ends on the 12th. LADS will be participating in it. We may not hear anything concrete until the 13th. Fingers crossed for the 8th.
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 tones—there 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.
