Infold and Valko

[moçoroca de abacate]

I recently found out that Valko was going to be the new LaDS LI. And although I didn't think he quite fit the game's vibe (especially given the appearance of the other LIs) my reaction was just: "Oh, okay. That won't affect my gameplay; I'll just keep pulling Zayne, Caleb, and Rafayel's cards like always, without worrying about another LI."

However, I saw that a lot of people were angry about the character – even though we knew nothing about him, as he hadn't been introduced to the story yet and nothing significant had been revealed– and his design. People started attacking him for various reasons, even bringing up the issue of "women's safety" and the Unit 731 incident. And since Valko's teaser was released (about a week ago), there have been approximately 50,000+ formal complaints, 2 million+ comments on a single post, and about 1 million followers lost across all platforms (in China)...

I remember the situation with Sylus was a little similar, but with Valko it was much worse... Now the main story will be delayed, and everything will be redone since he was supposed to be introduced in the main storyline in this new update and everything was already set. They're going to remove him from the game entirely; he won't even appear as a background character... I feel sad for his fans and for those who started playing the game again because of him, but I don't think the petitions or complaints being made will bring him back.

Wow, even Sylus suffered something similar at the beginning of his release? I didn't know that. And I thought the fanbase for this game was calm, lol.

Um pouco fora de contexto mas seu nome é hilario kkkkk

The LaDS community is similar to the Genshin community, unfortunately... People complained about Sylus when he was released because they didn't want another LI in the game! They made a huge fuss, tried to boycott the game, and demanded he not be added, but Infold ignored them and released Sylus anyway.

Ah obrigada KEKSK eu acho a palavra "moçoroca" muito engraçada por isso coloquei ela no nome. O seu nome é por causa do Leviathan de obey me, né?

Wow, all that just because of an additional LI? Infold could have ignored Valko's complaints this time too!

kkkkk na verdade ê por causa da criatura da Biblia e porque é minha summon favorita no jogo Final Fantasy. Quando joguei o Obey me e vi o Leviathan fiquei mais feliz ainda com o nickname XD

Not gonna repeat everything I said in the other LADS thread lol

I don't even go here, but I have some rants anyways under the spoiler. I'm sorry:

Spoiler

The drama is outright insane and there's a lot of misinformation everywhere to the point where I had to unfollow an artist from a completely unrelated fandom because she compared the situation to what happened to Limbus a few years back. Which I can say while they seem similiar at a standpoint especially with the crazy parasocials, the cause is much different since Project Moon's completely innocent and there wasn't much problems to be found with their game (other than the spaghetti code) while there's a lot of problems with PaperGames both inside and out of their games. Also, people tried to kill PM while people sent literal shit to PG, it could've been so much worse even if they're both bad. I bet content farming Youtubers that barely research are salivating right now and are willing to make videos about LADs for a quick buck without any regards and add to the fire.

Some people on social media are fearmongering that CN otomes are gonna get banned like AO3, which is absurd. Ouright banning an entire genre is a lot harder than banning a website (which could easily be done through a firewall) to the point where censorship's just a lot easier. Even then, Snowbreak got in trouble with the governent (for their actions, such as circumeventing regulations) and got censored to hell but other CN gacha games of the same calibur such as Azur Lane were not affected. And it would be flat out stupid for the goverment, even if they think women can't tell the difference between rl and fiction, to ban their game industry from developing games for women as the big CN otome gachas shown that they have a lot of spending power (and game development is super expensive btw). And, as Hoyo shown, some studios can move out of China.

There's a lot of other points I want to talk about, but I would be writing an essay atp lol

This could have been all avoided if they had better management and communication. Nothing is actually solved with his removal.

I feel so sad with Valko, I'm not playing love deep but I really interesting in him

In this time I feel like I lost my crush , but never got a chance to confess my feelings to, is gone.

But I also understand about 731 situation and many other incidents followed, all of which were the fault of the paper company. I hope everything ends well.
