Extremely hilarious exchange on an official sub post asking what people think the next banner will be.

We will not go anywhere and we will never let it go
This screenshot was found on Xiaohongshu (RED), a Chinese social media platform.
A CN player is openly admitting that the backlash against Valko was a deliberate pressure tactic — not genuine feedback. They admit the complaints weren't real, that stirring up outside public opinion was part of the strategy, and that now that the goal has been achieved, other players should stay quiet so the global community doesn't find out.
Their words, not mine. Read the translation.
Papergames didn't cancel Valko because of legitimate player concerns. They caved to a manufactured campaign. And the people behind it are celebrating.
We're still here. We're not going anywhere.

There are no factions. There’s the Bring Valko Back boycott & then there’s a small extremist splinter group working from the outside to undermine it. It’s not a two sides thing where both people are equally valid.
Their methods are grotesque, their goals are in conflict with our goals & they spend all day stalking, lying, harassing & defaming people. They trend harmful hashtags where they spam lies & try to manipulate people. Their actions work against bringing Valko back & they’ve said many times they don’t care if he comes back or not.
There are some normal people who for some reason align with them & if those people want us to stop fighting with them they should encourage THEM to return to normal boycotting.
But regular boycotters are not going to just step aside & let them run the boycott into the ground. Pushing back on extremism is not infighting.
Coming back to this it’s very interesting to me that the burden of solidarity seems to be entirely on normal boycotters.
Interestingly I never see the people criticizing “infighting” call out any of this kind of thing directly. Like how would you like me to come together in solidarity with someone like this?
This is the kind of person retweeting your “we should stop fighting guys” tweets btw.
Because ultimately what it boils down to is not “stop fighting” but “stop fighting back”
They don’t want to come together in solidarity if they did they wouldn’t be constantly baselessly accusing anyone who disagrees with them of spending. They just want us to shut up.
If you’re saying this kind of thing & not addressing the most obviously & outwardly caustic & hostile people instigating harassment then you’re basically just condoning their insane behaviour.

If you think you should use political activism strategies to bring back a fictional character or that you got robbed of your freedom or your human rights by that fictional character being cancelled by the company, then the only thing you should pay attention to is a therapist.

"HE'S NOT LIKE THAT! YOU HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE THING AND UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT!"
Yup. Yup, that's what we been sayin'. Glad you finally caught on.
"OKAY BUT NOT ABOUT *VALKO* THOUGH. WE DON'T HAVE TO READ ANYTHING ABOUT HIM TO KNOW HE'S AN EVIL RAPIST MURDERER STREET THUG! DRINK YOUR DOG PISS AND LEAVE US INNOCENT PLAYERS WHO JUST WANT TO ENJOY THE STORY PPG IS PRESENTING TO US ALONE!"

This is not a post made about one post or one person saying this, a lot of well-meaning people have said this, but I think it misunderstands the conflict & oversimplifies it to a both sides thing.
The only way for regular boycotters to come together with “radicals” is to basically just let them do whatever they want no matter how harmful. It’s just never gonna happen.
There’s conflict because they are doing unethical things & we’re not letting them. If they stopped doing those unethical things there would be no problem.
