the narrative is changing, but this situation has layers | Valko | Love and Deepspace

It has now been more than a month since Valko’s PV was revealed, and somehow this situation keeps developing new layers. In this video, I’m covering the more objective Chinese media articles that have started appearing, the recent CCTV report on otome games, minors bypassing 18+ restrictions, account trading, underage spending, facial verification, the age breakdowns from several Weibo polls—and what all of this may mean for Love and Deepspace going forward. The CCTV report was not entirely positive, but its central focus was also not Valko, A-0731 or the women’s-safety accusations. Instead, it focused on a much more concrete problem: minors gaining access to adult-oriented games through borrowed identities and pre-verified accounts, then spending ridiculous amounts of money. That distinction is encouraging, but it does not mean the earlier misinformation caused no damage. It does not mean wider public opinion has completely changed. And it definitely does not tell us what Infold is dealing with behind closed doors. Infold is still silent, and we still have no idea what the fuck is going on. Valko also trended on Weibo a few nights ago. Did someone buy the hot search? 👀 Who knows. I am not going to pretend I have an answer. All I know is that we have had a surprising amount of encouraging news lately. More objective reporting is appearing, misinformation is slowly being challenged, and players are continuing to show that the demand for Valko has not disappeared. At the same time, the presence of extremely young users in the fandom, the age patterns across several Weibo polls, possible outside amplification and the wider media response make one thing very clear: This shit has layers. None of this proves that Valko is coming back. But it does mean we cannot stop now. Please keep correcting misinformation, keep showing that there is real and sustained demand for him, and keep supporting constructive efforts like Letters for Valko. But stay calm. Do not create artificial deadlines. Do not let every unverified rumour throw you into another emotional spiral.
