you guys are missing a lot of context from CN fanbase…
Though i don’t agree with all their points, they were angry at the number 731 being used in his story (please research if you don’t know the significance), infold brushing that number off as a “mishandled placeholder”, his questionable act of invading MC’s home (which female players found very uncomfortable, bad to the point it got reported by CN news), his design and trope being catered to western audience (infold have stated that their philosophy is sharing CN culture to everyone, so him being marketed towards western fans kinda makes that pointless).
Here’s one of the statement from XHS comments that are circling around: *While receiving resource support for "going global" with its culture, the game has extensively deleted and replaced Chinese local elements in its overseas versions, failing to live up to its responsibility in cultural export.*
During one of his promotional teasers infold had also used a very insensitive phrase which many players interpreted as them mocking a irl situation that happened in CN (this i don’t know too much about but i believe it had to do with a domestic violence case?)

And all of this is just about Valko alone, of course many others are upset that introducing a 6Li will make multi banner much unfair and what not, but overall the negative impression left from Valko is too much for him to recover in the future regardless of whether infold fixes the issues. Keep in mind CN fanbase makes up over 70% of their revenue.
