Slicked-Back Hair Caleb

A teacher from XHS was able to see gege's forehead using the pose from his solo banner. Haven't tried it myself, but I included the tutorial she typed in the comment section 😋

XHS Link: 头发居然固定住了 看来背头混池指日可待 https://xhslink.cn/o/1SfDyXLddQ5

Take with a grain of salt: seems like many uncles with receipts are saying the slicked back hairstyle will be available in the next multibanner 😊

Since () mains are now claiming Zayne, Raf and Caleb looks similar to each other... Here's the face analysis I made to help them see better 🩷 [Context in 2nd image]

So we all know how V is now known as (recycled) LI because of the many similarities he has to the other 5 LIs. Not gonna delve deeper here because a lot have already covered that part haha.

Now, they're saying that we can't complain because PPG tried to pass Zayne, Rafayel, and Caleb as unique. Basically saying that the eyes, nose, and base haircut are identical—just changed the colors to make it seem like it's diverse. Even their skin textures are different from each other 🤦‍♀️

Anyway, I included the face analysis I made in the first image. It's very, very obvious that each LI's facial details are distinct. Idk why they chose an edited and blurry picture of Caleb, Zayne and Raf when they can just download in the official page. What, to support their lies?

As for the third image:

Come on... from standard myth to their latest 3rd myth,—their R1 torn animation has consistently been the same.

V mains, "please stop taking credit" challenge: Failed.

Funny how CN Zayne mains were the first ones to boycott waaaay before 6.0 teaser. Now, they're actively ignoring CN Caleb mains who are boycotting for Caleb's main story update and missing content. But of course, everything revolves around them and V right? 🙄

All this performative "thank yous" to Zayne and Caleb mains while calling CN meimeis broke (someone said it in the official Discord) and actively shttng on their myth revenues too. Sigh. I really hope Rafayel's new myth will do wonders just so they can't claim that— perfect as well to drown their noise (get the pun?)

Those "vent" art now reached Caleb's SuperTopics

[Translation is in the second page]

More and more domestic players are now finding out about the artist who made the graphic imagery of CalebMC. They also now know about that art of V's wolf form popping a basketball.

Unfortunately for those who want to see him come back, these "vent" arts will be used as evidence of how toxic Valko's fandom is. Now when players claim to spread "love and not hate", this proofs will be sent. *Especially* since a certain art reached over 14k likes before they were forced to "alter" it—personally, I don't see much change even when others have advised them to use Infold's logo instead.

It's not only Caleb mains who are spreading this awareness, but so many other mains too.

Sorry, but their own members are further digging Valko's own grave. They only have themselves to blame.

Full Truth about LADS from the Chinese Players' Perspective

Disclaimer: This post is from u/Klutzy_Instance_9128, they've asked me to post in their stead because it seems like their account is heavily restricted.

This video series tells the full truth about Love and Deepspace from the Chinese players' perspective.

(I can finally post again after my account was suspended. I sincerely hope the moderators will spare this post.)

It is difficult for Chinese players to log into overseas platforms, meaning overseas players’ understanding of this incident has been artificially filtered. The full context of the incident is far more complex than overseas players realize.

So, the nature of foreigners attempting to shape the outcome of this incident is entirely different from that of CN players doing the same. When overseas fans attempt to intervene and shift the situation, it will only push this issue toward a more serious outcome. Frankly speaking, this counts as interference in domestic affairs.

Regulating domestic enterprises in accordance with Chinese laws is fully legitimate for China’s authorities, whether in commercial or political contexts.

Do not believe claims that Chinese authorities have ruled that PaperFold Games has committed no wrongdoing. If you wish to verify this, please refer to the special report printed on Page 12 of the People’s Daily weekend supplement dated July 24, 2026. Printed editions of the People’s Daily undergo rigorous official review before publication, and physical copies are permanently archived at the Central Archives, the National Library of China, and provincial-level archives — including its weekend supplementary sections.

In short, the controversy surrounding Love and Deepspace has already received an official verdict within China, and this conclusion is not open to debate.

Furthermore, Document A-0731 includes 4 coincidences in total:

  1. The number 731;

  2. Human experimentation;

  3. 姜荣泉 Jiang Rongquan, the sole documented survivor who escaped the atrocities of Unit 731. The character 泉 in his name has the Japanese reading Izumi, identical to the character 伊澄 (izumi) in document has the Japanese reading;

  4. 严颂Yan Song has the exact same Mandarin pronunciation as the historical war criminal 岩松Yan Song.

In the P4 video, I explained these two points using Google Translate.

Throughout this incident, what Chinese players have consistently demanded is for the official company to suspend its servers for one to two months to conduct thorough self-reflection, rectifications, and formal apologies.

Full demands are as follows:

  1. Must to do a formal apology for willfully committing acts that offend China’s historical and national sorrows despite being a Chinese enterprise. The company must also publicly clarify its political stance and demonstrate its compliance with national principles and regulations (Includes loyalty to the Communist Party).

  2. Must to do a formal apology for a sincere apology for content that harmed public perceptions regarding Chinese women’s safety.

  3. Must to do an official apology for failing to fulfill its social and industrial obligations, even receiving national cultural export subsidies designated for Chinese cultural enterprises.

  4. The dismissal of all relevant senior leaders responsible for these incidents, with a permanent hiring ban for the involved personnel.

  5. The release of targeted rectification measures to regulate the large number of underage players within the game community.

It is critical to clarify that all demands raised by Chinese players have absolutely no connection to any in-game fictional characters. Every request fully complies with relevant national laws and regulations of China.

This video series solely aims to sort out the full context of the incident and clarify this essential fact for all viewers. And consists of 4 parts in total, and I hope everyone can understand the complete situation.

* Part 1 sorts out the sequence of events spanning June 22 to July 25, laying out the full background and causes of Chinese players’ boycott against Papergames. It covers key incidents: Papergames’ denial that a sixth romantic character would be added to the game, the massive controversy linked to Unit 731, and disputes over the V storyline.

* Part 2 explains why Chinese women consider the controversial trailer threatening to women’s safety. It supplements supporting evidence for claims raised in Part 1: the company is suspected of manipulating public opinion; it denied the upcoming launch of a sixth romantic character ahead of an official livestream; certain fan groups aggressively report negative coverage about the game in an attempt to silence all opposing voices. This campaign targets even posts published by official Chinese state media outlets, further reinforcing allegations that the company sought to manipulate public opinion.

* Part 3 covers the negative report on Love and Deepspace published by the People’s Daily, instructions on how readers can access the report independently, and the current situation the game faces within mainland China.

* Part 4 introduces China’s official regulations governing video game content operated within its territory, and elaborates on the political nature and gravity of the Love and Deepspace incident.

English is not my native language. Part 1 was produced in a rush, so please forgive any inaccurate wording. This video series contains no personal opinions. It only organizes events and states facts as they unfolded within mainland China. All screenshots and incident details cited are verifiable with public sources.

If this game has made you uncomfortable, please uninstall it. The logic of defending the company just to “bring back a certain character” is absurd. The company is merely an institution serving your favorite character, a service provider that creates content for them. Players are the consumers, the clients.

Consumers have no reason to sympathize with capital. Nor do clients have an obligation to defend the company and clean up its mess. If you are unsatisfied with the service this company offers, walk away and stop spending money on it. If you are able, you may create the related content you wish to see on your own.

At the end of the day, this is only a game. Return to reality, and devote your care to the people who love you.

The full playlist is available here. Feel free to download it and repost it on any platform. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYjyl5dREWNU&si=XdOPBcdP-aVYiURJ

If you have any questions about this incident from the Chinese server perspective, feel free to leave a comment and ask me.

You may also share additional supporting evidence in the comments.

Insensitive ✅️ Disrespectful ✅️ Ignorant ✅️

I don't care if they meant it as a joke or they're being facetious—this is just so freaking insensitive, disrespectful and so wrong. And of course most of the Valko mains are defending this rude person saying that:

"oh, i thought it was a joke"

"why are you guys being so serious in the qrts?"

"no! you're right! we, players have been disrespected too!"

"it gets to a point, how do you have nothing but sensitive days?"

August 1 is People's Liberation Army Day commemorating the founding of China's military during the 1927 Nanchang Uprising. July 31 (7/31)—they literally had a brush with the government because of this date, if PPG does post something in this date it's just plain mocking from them. Anyway, framing the special dates (not just these two) as if it's annoying or something the country needs to "let go" is insensitive and idk, has this victim-blaming tone.

Telling a whole country with a complex history to let a few go—what the hell is wrong with them? Plus, complaining about "sensitive dates" as if all dates are tragic historical wounds!

Don't play a Chinese game if you don't know basic respect towards its origin at all. Or any game, not just Chinese, if you can't respect their own calendars.

Are they already a couple in the bond stories?

If I remember correctly, the first unlockable bond stories for each LI don't have them as a couple yet. Especially for Sylus and Caleb who only has one. I haven't read Raf, Xav, and Zayne's other bond stories except the first one, so I can't really vouch for their other bond stories. Although, the important question here is the first bond story.

Assuming that Valko wouldve only one bond story like Sylus and Caleb, then that means they aren't even a girlfriend-boyfriend there too, right?

(Idk exactly what flair to use, since this is both a genuine question and debunking if ever 😭)

EDIT: thanks for the answers guys! Much appreciated 💓

Bots or genuine support?😅

[LONG POST AHEAD]

For context: Weibo is one of the biggest social media platforms in China. Aside from sharing content, one of the activities you can do is join a Super Topic or ST.

Using reddit as an analogy...

Super Topic - Subreddit
Hosts (major and sub) - Reddit moderators

So it's a gathering for fans of a niche topic, like a way to organize content. Members of ST can gain points via daily check-ins, posting/interacting with posts within the ST, voting, and sharing.

Here is the anatomy using Rafayel's Super Topic:

Rafayel's ST

You can buy bots for a Weibo Super Topic (超话) through third-party underground markets, though doing so violates Weibo's terms of service and Chinese regulations. These paid bot services are operated by click farms known as the "Water Army" (水军). Fandoms and marketing agencies frequently purchase them to artificially boost a celebrity or brand's profile.

Types of Bot Services Available:

  • Check-in Bots: Automatically sign into the Super Topic daily to increase the "consecutive sign-in" metric and active fan count.
  • Interaction Bots: Artificially mass-like, comment on, and share specific posts within the Super Topic to simulate high engagement.
  • Influence Leveling: Bots designed to complete daily tasks to raise the Super Topic's overall ranking on Weibo's leaderboards.
  • Zombie vs. Advanced Accounts: Providers sell cheap, empty "zombie" accounts (僵尸粉) or pricier "advanced" bots that feature realistic avatars, pre-posted content, and automated opinions to bypass detection.

You can easily check if an ST member is a bot or a zombie account via checking their profiles.

Appearance:

  • The "Default" Look: Standard, unedited alphanumeric handles (e.g., user73829102), generic stock avatars, or absolutely no filled-out personal bios.
  • IP Location Mismatch: Weibo forces accounts to display their IP province/country on profiles and posts. If a localized Chinese celebrity's niche fan club is suddenly filled with accounts posting from unexpected or highly scattered provinces with no logical connection, they are often part of a commercial proxy bot farm.

Posting Behavior:

  • The Ghost Timeline: Click on a suspect member's profile. If they are a Level 3 member in the Super Topic but their main personal timeline has zero organic daily posts, they are highly suspicious.
  • Mechanized Retweeting: Bots are heavily programmed to just retweet or copy-paste identical promotional phrases over and over again to drive trending metrics. Real fans usually customize their captions, post unique pictures, or interact authentically with other fans.

Here is an X post from a CN player in regards to V* gaining 2000 followers:

https://preview.redd.it/3jn75r8br4fh1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c0e032d67ce1acc4836c3269cce107089de9407

Normally for a popular character, especially if new and from a well-known game like LADS, this should be normal.

First let's look at the other LIs' Super Topics to see what's actually normal.

Caleb, Zayne, and Xavier's Super Topics

Total Posts of their Super Topics:

  • Caleb: 1.4 Million Posts
  • Zayne: 5.96 Million Posts
  • Xavier: 3 Million Posts

Total Members of their Super Topics:

  • Little Apples (Caleb): 1.17 Million members
  • Little Jasmines (Zayne): 2.05 Million Members
  • Little Planets (Xavier): 1.84 Million Members

If you look closely at each LI's names, there's a diamond which indicates its ST popularity weekly. Diamond 1 means they've reached 300k popularity index last week. (Rafayel and Sylus also reached this obviously; Valko only reached Gold lvl 1 despite many of his mains claiming he's the most popular LI and has millions of followers)

For reference:

Weibo Super Topic Level Tier List

Valko's Super Topic; Gold Level 1

Okay, now to the point of this post. How do we know if the sudden influx of his Super Topic is from genuine support of his fans?

Before getting to his data, let's look at some of the LIs' first (sorry bear with me please)

Caleb's Super Topic Popularity today; July 24, 2026

Zayne's Super Topic Popularity today; July 24, 2026

Sylus' Super Topic Popularity today; July 24, 2026

(On Weibo, the red fire icon (🔥) beside a Super Topic indicates its real-time popularity, high engagement, or trending status)

If you look closely at each graph, since 12 AM (GMT+8) today there have been thousands checking in with a gradual decline after 6 AM (GMT+8). A graph trend is the general direction/pattern that data follows over time. This is how a normal graph looks, consistent and follows an obvious trend.

Valko's Super Topic Popularity today; July 24, 2026

Notice how his graph at 12 AM (GMT+8) was low with a gradual decline from 2AM to 7AM, then it suddenly shot up at 8 AM? Kind of an abnormal behavior, no?

Now before anyone could ask, "other LIs' Super Topics with millions of fans probably have tons of bots too, right?" Well yeah, their STs have bots too but not as noticeable as Valko's ST members. Their real members far outweighs the bots that are there, compared to Valko. That's why I provided the screenshots of the graphs above. A consistent trend would be more logical to believe in than an inconsistent one, right?

Here is another one from Valko:

Valko's Super Topic Popularity this week; July 17-23, 2026

The graph shows that there's a consistent percentage of members checking in from July 17 to 20, then it suddenly went up in July 21, then back to its normal check-in percentage in July 22 and 23. It wouldn't have been weird if it remained consistent even for just a few days, but it went back to its normal, actual state after just one day. For Valko mains, why wasn't it consistent like the other LIs if these aren't bots? Especially in the following days. A sudden popularity isn't really a question because it can happen to anyone or anything, BUT after just a day it went back to its real state? Looks abnormal. As someone who have written countless research papers already, if a graph shows a sudden influx and then a sudden plunge, it is mostly considered an anomalous behavior 🤷‍♀️

Here is for Xavier and Zayne:

Xavier & Zayne's Super Topic Popularity this week: July 17-23, 2026

Here's a screenshot of the new bot members of Valko's ST; some could be foreigners, but since I've got time to snoop around and check their profiles earlier... some of their PFPs are old men or is a "dead" account before "joining" his ST lmao😭

https://preview.redd.it/3k8mabnnz4fh1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=395662dbf0adbc59cb75ce5e3b7f2ad7fcd56136

Anywaaaay, the Weibo screenshots are mine (taken while I was writing this post), except the follower list which I saw in XHS from another user debunking Valko mains' misinformation lol

"Extraordinary win" are you sure?

Idk how this should be an *extraordinary* win, when they've only welcomed men who agrees with them—not cause theyve done extensive research on the game itself and the controversies, but because it's the trend to agree with what seems to be the majority in the global side (bbnos, mujin, to name a few).

If they aren't relying on them, why do they spam these unrelated men's comment sections asking for their help? Bbnos, mujin, caseoh's livestream, to name a few. Looking at mujin's comment section alone, many of the comments come across as performative rather than informed.

How are they respecting us, when a lot are already rejoicing and hoping this will eventually lead to LADS' downfall? Some of the people you're calling allies are openly hoping LADS fails. How do you distinguish genuine supporters from people who simply want to see the game burn?

Also, did their narrative change again? Last week it only affected the game's main story, then it escalated to the routes for the LIs when it was clearly stated that it's separate. NOW the whole gaming industry is affected? In what way?

"And the fact that outsiders, especially men, are willing to help us is an extraordinary win" lol I thought you guys aren't relying on men, so why the emphasis on it? If men's involvement isn't particularly important to your movement, why describe it as an 'extraordinary win'? What makes their participation uniquely significant?

Is landscape trick not working anymore?

So I'm using android, I tried the split-screen method but it didn't work. Then I used the "forced" screen orientation to make the whole phone layout to landscape, but that didn't work as well.

I've seen others with landscape photos so, do you guys know of any solutions? 🥲
