@snwsta i mean see how chopped their mc’s are? i would be kinda glad to not have to look at them

They've gone way too far!! They're completely crazy!! They don't have an ounce of respect for their own LI too!! #BRINGVALKOBACK #BRINGBACKVALKO #GIVEMEBACKVALKO #GIVEUSVALKO #RELEASEVALKO #VALKOGLOBALRELEASE

@xinghooi THINK, ACTUALLY USE YOUR BRAIN PLEASE. There is no way that a CHINESE company based in CHINA having CHINESE workers and ceo’s would make anything that mentions the 731 massacre. Yall are either not fully developed or just plain stupid with no thinking ability.

parts of it also included hints towards inspiration from unit 731, which is the most prominent part of the issue. the company has yet to address this part of the problem. this screenshot was posted by user 11198421241 on xiaohongshu.

coming back on this account to let international lads fandom know that chinese players’ boycotting of the 6th li is not simply because we “don’t like him” or “he’s too much.” not only did his storyline receive heavy criticism due to its implications of assault & noncon,

@JayShan0506 Your country wasn't the only one that suffered great pain due to human experimentations during the ww2, you are just entitled and you use this to spit hate on other people and their work. My family was killed by the nazis in the holocaust genocide but i don't spout it everywhere

I'm a CN player. I'm a Caleb stan. And I'm done being polite about this. You don't get to call an entire player base racist while knowing absolutely nothing about what actually happened. So sit down and read. CN players didn't wake up one morning and decide to cancel a character because of his skin color. We spent 500+ days waiting for main story updates that never came. We watched the company fail to deliver content for five existing characters while announcing a sixth — breaking an explicit promise of "no new love interests." In 2025, Love and Deepspace ranked #1 on China's largest consumer complaint platform with 3,406 cases about unequal resource distribution. This rage was years in the making. Valko was the last straw, not the cause. Then we found a drug experimentation record inside the game numbered 0731. If that means nothing to you, that's your ignorance, not our problem. Unit 731 was a Japanese military program that conducted live human experiments — vivisections, biological warfare, forced infections — on thousands of Chinese civilians and POWs during WWII. The in-game record included the name 严颂, a phonetic match to Japanese researchers from the unit, within a full narrative of injection protocols, endurance testing, and forced mental control. Players reported this through customer service when it first launched. It was ignored. The company later called it "a random placeholder number." Six state media systems, a national think tank, and a prosecutor's office publicly called that a lie. Now let me tell you why you had no idea about any of this. The company deliberately gutted every trace of Chinese identity from your version of the game. Chinese New Year's Eve was deleted from the script. The Lantern Festival greeting was removed across every language version — Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean — while the holiday imagery was kept, proving it was a deliberate directive, not a translation choice. Mid-Autumn Festival was renamed to a fictional name. Christmas and Halloween? Kept their real names. Chinese text was manually redrawn out of cutscene animations. Chinese food was erased from date scenes — four date menus, zero Chinese dishes, in a game made by a Chinese company. A calligraphy illustration had its Chinese characters scrubbed for international release. A government-backed collaboration promoting Chinese sports culture at the Asian Winter Games was posted three times domestically and zero times on any international channel. You were handed a product that was systematically stripped of its origin. And now you have the audacity to tell us our concerns don't matter — while consuming a game built on Chinese players' money and Chinese creators' labor. The apology letter you received was also different from ours. Your version said "we weren't ready to introduce Valko." Our version acknowledged broken promises, failed content delivery, and systemic trust collapse. Same company, same decision, two completely different explanations — designed so that you'd blame us instead of them. And it worked. Here you are, calling us racist, while the company that lied to both of us watches from the sidelines. And let me be absolutely clear about where things stand right now. This is no longer a player dispute. This is no longer about your feelings or ours. The Chinese government has taken notice. As of today, state media outlets at every level — from central party organs to provincial papers, from the national women's federation to the legal system — have published critical coverage demanding accountability. A prosecutor's office has issued a formal legal characterization of the game's content as violating regulations on public morality and national sentiment. State media are calling for the company to undergo "fundamental reform." Whether this company can survive what comes next is an open question. Your anger in our comment sections changes nothing. The character was not cancelled because of tweets or Reddit threads. It was cancelled because institutional power stepped in. And that same institutional power is still escalating, not retreating. You are screaming at the wrong people about a situation you fundamentally do not control and do not understand. So no. We are not "xenophobic" for refusing to let a company monetize our historical trauma. We are not throwing "toddler tantrums" for demanding accountability after 500 days of broken promises. And we are certainly not going to apologize for defending a position that our own government, our own judiciary, and our own national media have now publicly endorsed. You want to be angry? Be angry at the company that decided you didn't deserve the truth. Or don't. But understand this: your ignorance was manufactured, your outrage was engineered, and the people you're defending don't even respect you enough to tell you the same story they told us. One last thing. Before you reply, ask yourself whether you can dispute a single fact in this post — not with feelings, not with "well I don't care about 731," not with "China is racist" — but with a single verifiable fact that proves anything I said is wrong. If you can't, then you don't have a counterargument. You have a reaction. And reactions don't change reality. Every claim above is backed by public data, official media coverage, in-game evidence, and documented company behavior. If you choose to ignore all of it because it's easier to blame Chinese players than to confront what this company did to all of us, that's your choice. But don't mistake your comfort for the truth.

@patrokhluz I am from Poland, my own family was killed by the nazis in the holocaust genocide but somehow i don't use it to spread hate and destroy other people's work just because i dont't like a character. It's not about history or anything, they're just entitled af and need to grow tf up.

Damn Chinese people really think they were the ONLY ONES traumatized by the Japanese lmao

@yanxi_wxi @Lurkerzzz23 YOU ARE DEADASS LOOKING WAY TOO DEEP INTO THIS, IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS, JUST ADMIT YOU DON'T LIKE HIM AND WANT TO GET RID OF HIM, THIS ARGUMENT IS BULLSHIT

@Lurkerzzz23 并不是，罚你看完整篇帖子，valko涉及了家暴杀妻案和女性独居安全，并不是只是单单长相审美问题，如果是审美长相问题，他不会听玩家的意见，会坚持抬valko的

#恋与深空 #LoveandDeepspace #恋と深空 #러브앤딥스페이스 我写了大概三个多小时，因为文化差异和语言的问题，很多国外玩家不理解这件事在中国有多严重，也不清楚valko和政治立场是怎么扯上关系的，总而言之我梳理了整个事情的发展过程，有什么遗漏的麻烦中国玩家替我补充，海外玩家不理解友好提出。

@eriimyon those chinese fans are legit like saesangs atp they need to calm tf down and grow up

Valko cancelled. Im gonna take a break for a while

@Love_Deepspace WHY DELETE HIM AND ANY POTENTIAL NEW LI’S LIKE HELLO? I get like fixing some issues with valko but to completely halt development in any new characters is insane. Chinese fans need to calm down cause it’s getting to a kpop parasocial fans point please listen to everyone.

A Letter to All Players Dear Miss Hunters, We sincerely apologize for reaching out once again. Over the past several days, our team has been closely following your conversations and feedback across all platforms. For the issues that have surfaced since the announcement of Version 6.0—and the frustration these have caused our community—we want to clearly state: we are sorry. As we've expressed before, our vision for Love and Deepspace has always been to build a world that grows alongside you—one that offers a richer, deeper sense of companionship over time. As various issues have arisen in recent days, we have moved quickly to make the necessary adjustments. After reflecting on recent events, we recognize that we moved forward with the introduction of Valko before we were truly ready. In doing so, we let down the players who have supported us from the start, and we also fell short of delivering the experience that players anticipating Valko deserved. After extensive internal discussions, we have decided to make the following changes: 1. We have decided to cancel both the launch and any further development of the new love interest. We also commit that no additional love interests will be introduced in future content plans. 2. All other in-game systems and features originally scheduled for Version 6.0—including Home 2.0 and AR Photobooth—as well as the limited-time Selectable 5-Star Memory Rate-Up Event, will proceed as planned. The outfits, photo poses and scenes, and the Nighthush Box (the second-anniversary 4-Star Memory Selection Crate) originally planned as rewards for the Hunt in Linkon event will instead be sent to all players for free via in-game mail after the version update. 3. Going forward, the entire team will focus on further developing the stories and long-term companionship experiences of our five existing love interests, while ensuring a stable pace of Main Story production and updates. Rafayel's new Solar-Slot Memories and Companion will be revealed in July. Farspace Colonel Caleb and Onychinus Leader Sylus will also return in their Main Story branches in September and November, respectively. By participating in the relevant events, players will be able to obtain the corresponding 5-Star Main Story Branch Memories for free. We will continue to devote all our care and effort to bringing you richer stories and game experiences. 4. Beginning today and continuing for 30 days, players who log in each day will receive one Deepspace Wish via in-game mail. Each mail will remain claimable for three days, for a total of 30 Deepspace Wishes. We hope this can offer some compensation for the disappointment and disruption caused by these adjustments. To our community: once again, we apologize. Because of our actions, the joy you should have found in Linkon City became a source of distress, and the feelings you hold most dear were hurt. We are deeply sorry for the hurt and disappointment we have caused. Love and Deepspace has always been about sharing love with you and protecting the love we all hold dear. That purpose has never wavered. Every step forward taken by the love interests and Linkon City—from its beginnings to where it stands today—has been shaped by your feedback, your passion, and your trust. It is your presence, care, and companionship that give this world its meaning, and us the strength and direction to move forward. Over the past two and a half years, we've shared moments of joy and gratitude, as well as challenges and difficult times. Through every late night devoted to making this world better, it has been the moments you've shared in Linkon City—and the love and passion behind them—that have kept us going. We hope to continue walking this road with you, building a world where love can take root, grow, and bloom. Going forward, we will work harder, listen more carefully, and do our utmost to honor the trust you have placed in us. We will stay focused on delivering the experience you deserve—one filled with love where every moment in Linkon City can once again become a joyful and treasured memory. Linkon City will always be here for you. Thank you—for your trust, your honest feedback and encouragement, and for being with us every step of the way. Your companionship has helped light the path ahead, and your faith in us has given meaning to every effort we make. Thank you for your love throughout this journey. It gives us the courage to keep moving forward. We hope to repay that love with even more and even better content in the days to come. #LADSValkoCanceled

@OtomeRay pls i don’t understand anything like what even are we in this myth

So wait. Let me get this straight. I feel like I'm lost in the context, so basically: - Caleb (🍎) and MC (🍏) are siblings / flowers born of the same source / stem - CalebMC get married but after the vows are exchanged and they return to the mortal realm but separate?

@syluschip so true but like what happened his japanese va is the goat imma miss him sm

@xiayizhousapple dare i say the best song from the whole banner

Still fmu everytime i remember they hyped this song so much then got mad when calebmc is actually really forbidden 😭😭😭😭😭😭 what were they thinkin

this trend🙂‍↕️💕 #boothill

@Ayelsbeloved confused since i’ve seen your posts being ss everywhere and i cannot make any sense if it (please dont take this as hate i really just want to know😭)

@Ayelsbeloved girl wait i am so confused rn so you made all this drama because they changed their tag to general romance? besided they won’t lose any money the game is such a success rn that its basically impossible also what do you want to achieve from the boycott? im gen asking cause am conf

Since yall are fucking dumb. You SHOULD uninstall the game to boycott but since many players have aurum passes/annual passes bought in advance and arent able to get refunds because the customer service isnt responding, players would just lose their money
