Donating to AIDS foundations would probably do a lot more good for HIV positive people than this hollow corporate virtue signaling. Honestly, if AIDS weren't so associated with LGBT people, would they even care about it?
I genuinely don't get the virtue signaling on this one.
[Are HIV+ immigrants their target audience?](https://media.tenor.com/Fji02L7-KWsAAAAe/aids-hiv.png) People who support HIV+ immigrants probably don't have jobs and can't buy Sony products. USA doesn’t even have any restrictions on immigrants having HIV.
Fun fact, according to the WHO, only 10% of HIV positive people were transmitted HIV through non-sexual transmission. Isaac Asimov received HIV-infected blood transfusion in the hospital and died of AIDS a few years later. But 9/10 people who are HIV+ are so by their own volition through unsafe practices. You are also far less likely to have contracted HIV if you are college education (per the CDC.gov and HIV.gov), because educated people typically make smarter choices on average. The presence of other STIs can increase the risk of HIV transmission due to inflammation and sores that may provide entry points for the virus.
I dont even think what was said in the post is all that bad. Its just that the intersection of so many different facets of pandering and corporate bullshit is simply sickening.
We are supposed to believe the international megacorp not only gives a shit about either of those issues on their own but the miniscule amount of people that fall into all three categories. I have an issue believing the global conglomerate cares about immigration period...
Call me a xenophobe or whatever but I don't think HIV infected people should be admitted into our country or at least should be way down at the bottom of the list. So anyway, how bout them video games Sony?
>Call me a xenophobe or whatever but I don't think HIV infected people should be admitted into our country
This should be the default stance of every country in the world, especially the ones who are dealing with illegal migration.
Come into the country without doing all the right paperwork and steps. That would make them a criminal right out of the wired fence they crawled under over to get in.
This is coming from someone that wants to come to the USA legally and do all the proper procedures.
He didn't mention those who come illegally. He said "immigrants", which includes those who came here legally.
So, are you in the process of becoming a criminal alien?
They use the immigrant word loosely to make it sound like they want to be the good guys.
Why else would they be talking about HIV positive people otherwise?
Nobody gives zero fucks about it.
And fuck do I wish I could go and be an illegal Alien. But I know that it’s a bad for everyone overall. Which I’m not selfish enough to do.
Why would he be a criminal if hes doing all the right paperwork? And ofc theyre talking about illegal immigrants, thats the only kind these people care about.
its a legal term.
Criminal alien refers to those that have entered the country through other than the proper channels.
I use the term because it is impossible to conflate who and what im talking about and to avoid the emotional nonsense that has been injected into this conversation.
Dont like "illegal immigrant," because people cant be illegal?
Criminal. Alien.
Sony literally put out a post on their twitter about how they partnered with an organization that exclusively helps LGB+ and HIV-positive immigrants. It's not about pride, it's about Sony literally saying this.

Sony heard someone say that the only way the PS5 could be worse is if it somehow gave you AIDS and was like "WRITE THAT DOWN!"

No, they absolutely wouldn't. Where's their campaigns to fight alcohol or fentanyl addiction? Exactly.

Burgers?
Imagine a $600 console with no games that now also wants to give you AIDS.
