@pinkjoonmoon I wonder who they are offending by using western as an insult...

My thing is… even if VALKO was made for the west… girl what’s so wrong with that? 😭 these people do not think #BringValkoBack

drawing the whole time with longing oml i can’t i miss this man so bad #nanami #jjk

@Annikaluvss omg I've been tweeting non-stop since day one of this boycott. Whether it's important information, fanarts and things I find funny, just to keep engagement in the posts. Do they really bother to look under a person's profile that deep? Commitment I see.

Right. Whatever helps you cope. (P.S. Old screenshot that I found in my gallery btw, since I'm actually sticking to the boycott and not logging in) #BringValkoBack

Beloved Nanami, happy birthday 💛 #Nanami #nanamikento #sfw_nnweek26 #七海建人 #JJK #JujutsuKaisen #呪術廻戦 #七海建人生誕祭2026

I am [Your Name] and a member of the #BringBackValko movement, and I’m reaching out regarding the Valko cancellation story you covered recently. We wanted to share an important update: our official petition to bring Valko back as a love interest has now surpassed 200,000 signatures. We have also reached over 1.5m posts on X advocating for his return. The movement continues to grow rapidly, with fans around the world organizing petitions, online protests, and peaceful actions to show how much this character means to the community. Despite the initial backlash that led to his cancellation, a large portion of the global and Chinese player base is actively fighting to see him reinstated. We believe this ongoing effort and the current petition numbers reflect the strength and dedication of the fanbase. We would greatly appreciate it if you could consider mentioning or updating your coverage with the latest petition numbers and the continued fan push for Valko’s return. This story is still very much alive in the community, and we’d love to see it highlighted again. Thank you again for your previous coverage it really helped bring attention to the situation. Please let me know if you need any additional information, screenshots of the petition, or quotes from fans.

I’m reaching out with a story that has gained significant traction in the Love and Deepspace community. In late June, developer Papergames (or Infold Games) announced Valko, a new love interest for the popular otome gacha game Love and Deepspace. Following intense backlash (particularly from Chinese players) based on malicious baseless rumours that wen't viral and got out of hand, the studio fully cancelled Valko’s development and stated they would not be adding any new love interests in the future. In response, global fans launched petitions calling for Valko’s reinstatement and to advocate for the years of hard work the developers have poured into the creation of this warm and lovable character. One of the main petitions has now surpassed 200,000 signatures and continues to grow. Over 1.5m posts on X have been calling for his return. Fans have also organized online protests and peaceful actions to show their support for the character. This situation has created a notable divide between regions and sparked ongoing discussion about player expectations, communication, and live-service game decisions. We believe this story, including the scale of the petition and the community’s continued efforts would be of interest to your readers. I’ve included the petition link below for reference. Would you be open to covering or mentioning this update? I’m happy to provide more details, quotes from supporters, or any additional information you might need. Thank you for your time. [Your Full Name] [Your X/Twitter handle] [Link to petition] Link to the petition: ipetitions.com/p/bring-back-v… Please share and mention any more places we can reach out to in the comments.

敖尹 You are Ao Yin’s home. When MC asks Ao Yin what she smells like, Ao Yin listed the following: "the wilderness, the earth, the open savannas, the wind, other times it's a stream, a mountain, a pretty moonrise" He isn’t just describing scent here. He’s describing everything his wolf half has ever trusted. Those are places a wolf feels safest, the world his instincts were born into. So when he says MC smells like all of that, he’s quietly telling her that he had already decided she is his home. He then ends it with "burnt pancakes on a stove". Something small and human it almost feels shy next to everything before it. 🥹 That line isn’t the wolf talking anymore. It’s the man underneath, thinking about a kitchen and a lazy morning with someone who tried to cook for him but didn’t quite get it right. It’s not grand like the wilderness. It’s softer, maybe mundane and a little clumsy, but it's exactly why it means so much. So Ao Yin's answer here is really two confessions folded into one. His wolf calls MC home in nature’s language, and his human heart calls MC home in the small, everyday moments. Both halves of him consistently landing on the same person. 😭😩💛

@littleststaramy OMG THAT'S GENIUS, I didn't know either KSDJKSD

Just got the "they created a million John Wicks" joke Because He's a dog I'm so dumb omg 😩😭😭

@3c1ectic Oh we indeed are neighbors, I'm from Mexico! I'm sending you love from here too 💖

@Beaquant No worries, sisters! I was referring to the continent🤗 I should of worded it better, sorry💦 But you and I are indeed neighbors! I'm sending love from 🇺🇸✨️

アジアが寝付く頃に米国が起きる、米国が寝付く頃にヨーロッパが起きる、ヨーロッパが寝付く頃にアジアが起きる。一切の隙もない「ロウガ返せ！」の声がスゲー過ぎるww だからグローバルをオコにしたら駄目って言ったのにね🤭

@3c1ectic I just realized u said america as a continent... Sorry I guess I need to sleep lmao, grok translated it as U.S.A.

@3c1ectic Don't forget Latin America! We latinas love him so deeply 💕

Happy Birthday to our beloved man, Nanami Kento!🫶🏼🎉

@mrssylvs Yeah, I’m a new player, so what? What’s wrong with that? 😡 It’s definitely not my first otome, lmao. And honestly, isn’t it a good thing to have new players joining the game? Bcs let me tell you, being a newbie right now is NOT easy with how limited the resources are.

some of you think liking Valko automatically makes someone a “new player.” People are allowed to discover and enjoy new things without needing to justify it. That’s a pretty normal concept outside of fandoms. 😭

Wolf kiss🐺❤️ #BRINGBACKVALKO #JusticeforValko #SaveValko #Valko #Valkois6th #valkoladsreturn

@carol_mmns @Cherrylladygirl Clock it girl, he is so hot 🤌🏻

@Beaquant @Cherrylladygirl Cuz he’s HOT! I’m sorry, I’ll let myself out 🚶🏻‍♀️

Valko is 26. 26 on periodic table = Iron, Fe. His power is metallization. He’s 6'2" 62 = Samarium, Sm. A strong rare-earth metal. All that detail for a character you called “rushed”? #BringBackValko #BringValkoBack

@mikiyo_ji @FluffyValko Ugh, that and Rio are so 🤌🏻 chef kiss. I haven't seen those edits 😳 I have homework to do... And I love the Weeknd too!

@Beaquant @FluffyValko no fr like i luv the song sm bcs all i do is associate it with lads bcs start of last year there was sm edits with the song and lads it just stuck in my brain 💀💀 luv the weekend tho ,,

im curious, is there a song that makes you think about Valko? or a song you think fits his vibe? I want to make a playlist #BringValkoBack

@FluffyValko Bad romance, Lady Gaga becuz he's close to ever 😈🤙🏻 Wolves by Marshmello and Selena Gomez And... Like Animals, BTS? #KeepValkoAlive #BringBackValko

@mikiyo_ji @FluffyValko OMG I saw it too, it's fire 🔥

@FluffyValko são paulo by the weekend/anitta bcs i saw a glorious edit of valko with it 😌

@GustinLuck Nah what the hell, what is wrong with them!? 😭😭 What kind of sick mind they have to come up with such gross fantasies? 🤢 It's NOT that deep, it's just a freaking pixel!!

#BringValkoBack 让全世界网友看看霸凌者是怎样的嘴脸，Valko已经被她们骂下线了，她们还会追到各种群聊里去骂喜欢Valko的人，说寡妇们，你老公死了，今天你老公忌日你开不开心？还有更多恶心的淫秽词语，她们还会购买动物的排泄物寄到Infold公司，威胁他们下架Valko，我们就是在和这样的垃圾战斗。

Valko已经不仅仅是一个角色。他象征着那些因网络暴力而被迫沉默的人，也象征着那些依然鼓起勇气发声的人。改变叙事，让真实玩家的故事被更多人听见。 #bringvalkoback
