We've seen her new design already back in the 1.4 livestream and she really does look very familiar. Its like a completely new character and if we compared it to Iroi who did get tweaked but still retains the original design.
On Sept 9th, 2026, a girl who is a Lads player in the CN community has suffered prolonged online violence from toxic players over the past two months simply because she supported Valko's return. She was even doxxed, with her private information leaked, and her operated store was maliciously reported. (company: PPG/Infold)
She suffered a double blow to both her mental state and reality, and as a result, developed a severe mental illness. Toxic players also incited her, saying that only by committing suicide in front of the PPG gate could she possibly bring Valko back. Continuous harassment, combined with PPG's prolonged silence, the sudden removal of the PV on Sept 7th (7/9), mirroring Valko release date on July 9th (9/7), and a series of other events, led to her growing increasingly anxious and distressed during this period, with her mental state on the brink of collapse.
CDG means toxic players who send cow dung to Infold building to cancel Valko.
She went to the PPG building that day, initially just wanting to take Nici Wolf there for a check-in, but ended up getting directly rejected. (Nici Wolf doll is related to Valko theme)
Then she wanted the security guards to pass on those flyers printed with screenshots of cyberbullying remarks from within the community, as well as the voices of overseas players; she wanted to tell PPG everything she'd been through, she wanted PPG to know about the players' pain and longing, wanted PPG to do something to change the status quo, and most importantly, she wanted PPG to bring Valko back. But PPG still chose to stop her from getting close and scolded and drove her away, so she could no longer bear it.
She uncontrollably dropped the flyers, turned her head crying and rushed to the edge of the building, at one point wanting to jump down to end it all
But fortunately, the tragedy didn't happen; she was pulled down by someone.
She said her arm was dragged until it was black and blue, her knee was scraped, and her clothes were torn.
She broke down and sat on the ground crying, while the papergames staff just watched coldly from a distance, saying nothing and doing nothing, then quickly walked away as if nothing had happened, not even giving her a concerned look.
Before this incident, girl already try to reach out to customer services. Unfortunately, she didn't get comfort as answer, but only get '1'.
Then some people without empathy not only fail to sympathize with her plight or feel sorry for her, but instead accuse her of using suicide as a stunt, being as unscrupulous as cdg, mock her by saying this is the consequence of being persistent, and even some ask her why she doesn't just really go die.
But she is just a girl driven to desperation, just an ordinary person who has been bullied; she seeks help but is ignored, wants to express her pain but is instead mocked and ridiculed. The company has always remained indifferent and silent to the demands of normal players, offering no response whatsoever, nor taking any measures to address the community's toxic atmosphere.
Yet the company complied with toxic player's demands by delisting valko, and even swiftly modified game content and merchandise simply because cdg was dissatisfied.
Such actions undoubtedly enable their bullying behavior. Moreover, this is not an isolated incident—countless girls who love Valko have faced bullying and harassment over the past two months, leading to various psychological issues
The day after incident, we won't find a single post about the suicide attempt. They've all been taken down. There's only one post I've seen about this matter, and it paints the whole thing as fake. It claims the girl only scattered papers around ppg's premises, nothing more. That's the only post about this matter being allowed to stay up.
One of the original author who posted about how ppg tried to silence the suicide attempt victim reported that ppg itself flagged her post, claiming it "spreads false information" and "damages corporate reputation."
This shows how fast ppg's pr/crisis management team moves to sweep a player's suicide attempt under the rug and silence the victim. It's how they pretend the whole thing never happened, by refusing to admit or acknowledge it.
Last night, Oct 3rd, we got news that girl returned to seek answers from the company once again.
According to circulating reports, she collapsed during the confrontation and was subsequently taken to the hospital, she is in a more stable condition now.
Regardless of the circumstances, no one should have to endure such an emotionally distressing experience while seeking answers.
Toxic player are still laughing at her on Weibo (one of the social platforms in China), while some fans try to do victim-blaming to save ppg face. I believe many people already see them when the cocktail blows up. These people will attack everyone, normal players and content creators, who criticize ppg.
Above all, her health and well-being should come first. We sincerely wish her a smooth and full recovery and hope she receives all the care, support, and time she needs to recover, both physically and emotionally.
But we don't want PPG to run from responsibility again and turn blind like before. Our mistakes before were only talking about this in our community, so their professional fans can divide and silence us. What we want from PPG is an apology, a promise to moderate their community, help the girl with lawyer assitance like pther company did, and start a campaign about anti-cyberbullying. Unfortunately, our demands were ignored for 3 months. I hope the moderator allows me to speak here because we don't have free speech anymore in our own community. If anyone can give me a suggestion on where I can send all of this information to a large audience, it will help us most. Thank you very much.
Please help us to fill out a petition to stop cyberbullying
