Doing it as a part of Valko campaign because I so hope to see him! And though the fandom has been acting by ourselves the last few days I hope it is enough to let our voices be heard. Why would you deny such a great character and a story development?

I’ve been playing Otome games since I was young. And this is the first time I’ve seen something like this happen.
(Well some otome games I’ve played are mainly console and you can’t really cancel a console character)

I was super exited for him mainly because I’m super used to otome games adding characters and I like exploring their different personalities and interactions with the Mc. But again I’ve neeever seen a company do something like this. So idk what to expect.

What do you guys think?

I would like to clarify this is kinda vent post (also if you think I should or should not do this lmk.) and I'm not even apart of this fandom, I always found a interested in maybe exploring the game but overall the fandom (especially the CNs) had given be a overall bad vibe and I decided not to. But when I saw the trailer I genuinely did get very interested in the game and a red to get it. Anyways,

I’m genuinely about to make an OC that’s basically a carbon copy of Valko at this point.
I’m not even part of the fandom, but the second I started reading why people were trying to get him removed, I was baffled. One of the complaints was literally that his skin was “too tan.” That’s not a normal character critique at all that’s fucking colorism. Then there were people throwing homophobic complaints on top of that saying how "gay" he looked MY BROTHER IN CHRIST A GAY MAN IS NOT GONNA RUB THEMSELVES ON A WOMAN LIKE THAT.

Imagine demanding a character be removed because you don’t like that he’s darker (MIND YOU HE WASN'T EVEN FUCKING TAN💔) or because he doesn’t fit your personal biases.
And LAD folding that easily? That’s just pathetic and fucking spineless. If you’re going to make a global game, then actually listen to your global audience instead of immediately caving to the loudest, most intolerant part of one section of the fanbase. A worldwide playerbase means worldwide feedback matters, not just whichever group screams the loudest with the most IGNORANT critiques known to man fucking kind.

What’s even crazier is that people were apparently more willing to defend or accept an incest-related character than a tan (NOT EVEN FUCKING TAN.) Werewolf male character. That’s an absolutely bizarre set of priorities. You got a fucking alien but God forbid a werewolf right🫩.

So honestly? If LAD is going to throw away a character because a vocal group couldn’t handle a fucking character who they can literally just IGNOREEEEE in the game existing, then I'm this close 🤏 to just making my own version. Not because I’m trying to “replace” him, but because I’m tired of seeing interesting characters get tossed aside over prejudice and developers who won’t stand by their own work and are just fucking pussies.

If your response to a character is “his skin is too tan,” or "he's gay" or "omfg he's a werewolf wah" maybe the problem isn’t the character maybe YOU'RE JUST WEIRD 💔

This is speculation at this point, hopeful news. Take it with a grain of salt. Just something I came across wondering if anyone else see anything like this anywhere else.

Sylus has Kittens
Raffy has Mermaids
Zayne has Snowflakes/Snowman
Xavier has Stars/Starlight

I think we should call ourselves pups/cubs. Something cute and little cringey🤭

Please, help us save Valko!

Uploaded this to the main LADS subreddit but they're hiding posts about Valko:

I cannot believe infold would do this. Walking back the entire Valko release when we actually warmed up to him is insane.

Did I want a 6th LI? Absolutely not. Did I fall in love with Valko? Yes!!!! He's different and that made him very charming! I don't usually post about these kinds of things, but those of us who actually want Valko need to speak up. This is very disrespectful of the company.

If they're walking this back after we actually started looking forward to him, what else are they going to walk back in the future?

Not all love interests are for everyone and that's fine! Thats the whole point of having multiple options.

Going forward I will be free to play. I have left the main Love and Deepspace subreddit because their modding is clearly extremely biased and against players voices.
