My suggestion is that you step down as a mod. Everyone else has already said why and I agree. Moreover, I don't even know what you gain at this point by staying as a mod, your reputation is tarnished and people don't trust you, you'll be the supreme ruler of an empty kingdom. The intelligent thing to do would be to step down to show maturity, acknowledgement and as a way of apologising for the mess that your ruling (or lack thereof) has caused from pretty much the beginning of this sub existence.
You say to focus on the movement but you're not helping right now, that's literally the problem, and at this point if you want us to focus on the movement you need to STEP DOWN as a mod so we can all thrive, get back the safe space we had and stay on this sub.

Protests and movements have died in the past due to stubborn self appointed leaders, don't be remembered by all of us as one of them. You might think we're all chaotic, that need strict rules and maybe even children but as someone with more than 20 years experience as an activist and also in the ye old forums, let me tell you you're going all wrong about this and you're not showing the maturity needed to be or continue as a mod on this sub.
We all appreciate your effort and for the creation of this space, but you also need to learn when it's time to step down, and that time is now.

I've always been very casual about the game and I very rarely comment on any drama, until now that is.

I'm also one of those that it's going to uninstall the game after this announcement. I was very excited about Valko and I also supported the pressure and complains about Infold since they're very true (Sylus is one of my mains after all) but this is just ridiculous, like giving a sweet to a kid and then taking it out of their mouths. I'm done, and it's not only about the removal of Valko but also the precedent this sets as well as just the final straw in how Infold views the global playerbase, just some extra pennies on the side and nothing else.

If they can so easily take Valko away after being introduced and creating hype, what other things will they remove or change in the future because the CN playerbase complains. I read somewhere apparently they pushed this to happen by making the Valko in MC's flat as problematic (remove that card only then? even if it's still a ridiculous complain anyway). I don't know how much of this is true, but if it was it's very inconsistent. So MC can be drugged or stalked and it's fine but we cross the line at a guy appearing in her balcony? weird.

This is a total breech of trust for me and it shows they can clearly remove anything they want at any point without having all players in mind but only the cn side, and even then, probably only that cn minority that has been the most vocal. If it's that way, just simply don't offer the game abroad.
A company this big panicking in this way also only shows me that they don't know how to do business and navigate the problems that arise (same with the censorship in Infinity Nikki). It was pretty clear they're there only for the money at this point, this is only further proof of it.
I'll be waiting for an otome game of this type that doesn't insult its player base or caters only to a part of it.

30 deepspace wishes to compensate for Valko is also a massive insult.

I'm so glad I don't have society approved beauty standards...
Anyway, this is at the same level than those that take any female character to criticise how ugly she looks, and showing 14 out of 1000 doesn't prove your point either.

Because it has life sim aspects I do like there is a diverse range of characters in the world. It wouldn't be a life sim to me if everyone was a society approved model. And for knights and warriors if they have muscly people I would prefer they look like how real knights would have looked like, like rugby players, wrestlers or weightlifters not like gym bros.
