@_Lady_Akira_ Just curious, what ended up happening with Azur Lane?

He was teased on June 22 in 2026. A random monday. The stream announcement was literally on the same day. The entire community was torn Not everyone wanted a new Li at that time & some still don’t want one. And yes, that happened before. Azur Lane had a case like that.

@good__menace @sylusfull Chilling, watching players fight each other as entertainment while taking their money.

@sylusfull If he was rushed, what the fuck were they doing this WHOLE time

the ppl saying or pretending "oh no deleting him means sylus ms is fucked or the whole ms is fucked" TF YOU MEAN were you born yesterday did you not see even infold admit he was rushed?? did you not see how unplanned he looked like that was the whole issue him being unplanned and

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.

@potatosylus @lambsgarden 😂 sorry that made me laugh

@lambsgarden My periods last longer than that💔

I hope ppl who are hating on other LIs for velcro being cancelled know that other LIs also have teams, real ppl who work on their animations, writers and VAs u are disrespecting someone's work to act like u respect others which is just making u look like a hypocrite

@thewindknewher Okay, that's what I thought. Everyone I came across mentioning something like that says it like it's a fact and I'm wondering if I missed something in the content.

@rollingmacaroon it’s just a fan theory! the game never confirmed something like that

“infold planned this from day one” girl i wish 😭 that company can’t plan a single thing what are these tiktokers on

@chis197 Smh. If they want the 6th back, just say so. Don't bring Sylus in the conversation.

No he doesnt lmao

@realchii @lambsgarden I think out of spite and a lot of people just want to be right about their theory of having a 6th.

@lambsgarden Oh, now that I think about it they were watching CN reaction side the whole time... maybe they ended up falling for him harder just out of spite? Idk anymore 🥲

I really can't understand what's happening with those wolf fans. If back when I reinstalled Lads for Sylus even though I fell for him instantly the moment I saw his PV if something had gone wrong and they just canceled him, I would have just gotten over it.

@MC_Farrin @Myuniverse7ven Also MC was drugged before Sylus saved her from the kidnappers. Sylus is not gonna just leave her there after saving her. He obviously took her to the safest place he knows which is his home.

@rollingmacaroon @Myuniverse7ven He intercepted her kidnapping and then took her to Onychinus and then held her captive for, I think it was 3 days?? .

THEY COMPLETELY LOST IT.. I'M 😭💀😭💀

@MC_Farrin @Myuniverse7ven I don't think the mc in Sylus' branch would've left or back down without finding out the truth or getting her revenge because she thought Sylus killed her family. That's why she used herself as bait to seek him out in the first place.

@MC_Farrin @Myuniverse7ven He never locked the doors though so mc could've left any time but she went searching for him anyway.

@Jas_eni09m Wouldn't mind if they actually do that. Those who are interested in Valko can go support the spin off. Whether if it's a good business idea, that'll depend on how much those players will spend.

Yooo seriously what if it's true... rumors said there will 9 LIs, 5 in lads and 4 in the spin off What if this whole bs is a campaign for the spin off game, basically they knew Valko was gonna get hate so they earn sympathy points by removing him before his debut and then-

@Jas_eni09m Wouldn't put it past infold at this point

And what if this was all planned from the beginning ?

@youngeunbeloved @ssa_v14033 When all players should be keeping infold accountable.

@youngeunbeloved @ssa_v14033 Yep. I don't see how people don't see this. All of this, everything from the start to now has been caused by infold and their bad decisions. You have the people trying to fight against infold and people fighting those who are fighting infold. +

i understand being mad at valkos cancellation but tell me why a lot of my western mutuals r lowkey being sinophobic rn?? we can admit that some cn girls went too far without acting racist

@MC_Farrin @Myuniverse7ven Sylus never abducted and held mc captive. Just wanna clarify that. This is from the game. I = MC in the photo.

@Myuniverse7ven OK so, the jist of it is some of CN were saying Valko was a predator because he climbed through MCs balcony and to remove him. So many people are stating why are you mad at Valko when Sylus abducted and held MC captive and Caleb literally drugs her. Why draw the line at Valko?

@Myuniverse7ven company they have an issue with, shut up and not complain about it, just so #6 fans can have fun with a new character. How extremely entitled, self centered, and selfish. And shows how much they rely on cn players for $$.

@Myuniverse7ven Isn't stopping purchases on their own server players' own choice? They're the ones telling people to stop spending and playing if they don't like it, so cn players did just that. And now they're unhappy cn players did that?? So they want cn players to keep spending money on a +

But i thought ladstwt HATED kpop fandoms? Didnt yall said their behavior is "embarrassing asf" ? 🤔 and lads isnt kpop? Why using armys for this now?...

@Myuniverse7ven they have an issue with, shut up and not complain about it, just so you can have fun with a new character. How extremely entitled, self centered, and selfish. And shows how much they rely on cn players for $$.

@lnzaynity It seems that they still have his content up on social. So some speculate that it could be a PR stunt. Maybe a special encounter? It's weird and suspicious that they still have it up after announcing the cancellation.

WOW I totally did not expect they canceled him entirely lmao. usually corporations never do that, because it's resources already spent; they'd rather roll with it and fix the mistake later than waste the effort. That being said, I don't think they'd cancel his cancelation-
