There is a big gap between being privileged and not being able to afford a TV lol.
I want to curse you out so bad, but I'm going to be bigger than that right now. All I'm going to say is don't trust these companies they'll lie about anything to sell you shit.
Aren't there different levels of privilege?
They also cast a black woman to play a white character in the same game you know.
LMAO having your twitter person tweet about shit is not a risk. This is not going to affect them in any serious way, this will get them more exposure in fact.
Hey if it gets racists to boycott their new console, multiplayer game might be more tolerable!
Woke brands and all, but at the very least their Twitter guy needs a medal for popping off like this. That's the actual good shit there.
Seeing more discussion here than in the EtcetEra thread, so I'm posting my response there in here.
Also probably worth posting this video once again:
Do Uighur Muslim lives matter, Sony?
Apple, Samsung and Sony among 83 global brands using Uighur Muslim 'forced labour' in factories, report finds
At least 80,000 Uighurs working across 27 Chinese factories that supply some of biggest brand names in the worldwww.independent.co.uk
These hollow statements by multinational corporations don't mean shit.
Their care extends only as far as your continued ability to consume their products. Once you're in their factories though, no statements or 'woke' Twitter replies for you.
those are global news, but not to this scale. even when hong kong was it it's height it didn't have the same coverage globally as this does now. couple that with the fact that the US is a major market for sony that china and yemen aren't it's a strong case to postpone it
Serious question. What's your definition of a risk to a Multi-Billion dollar Global Company?

Yeah, i agree, they sticking to what they twitted and backing it up.
Why would they? They're globalists and capitalists and that's exactly the sort of 'trim the cost' measures that big global corporations will deploy if it saves them money, without any thinking about human lives in modern day slavery
Which is incredibly disappointing. All too afraid to pipe up about the travesties being committed in China.

I'd argue that directing this message at the people protesting in the US is taking a risk to due a) the pressure of a meaningful follow-up reaction and b) drawing resentment by both consumers from the US political right spectrum (for standing with the protesters or saying anything politcally decent in general) and the political left for feeling like a "woke" reaction and worse if not delivering. Both is US-centric.
How protesting peacefully and trying to be peaceful has helped black people so far?

I'd like to see this too. Maybe we can get a watermarked hashtag of #BLM throughout the video also.
But that's not a risk because what they're doing isn't going to hurt their bottom line. Was Nike risking anything when they supported Kap? was Guillette at risk with their end toxic masculinity ad companies? No, because these types of decisions aren't made in a bubble, they understand they'll have backlash from a few people but the positivity they get as well as the signal boost out ways any backlash they'll get. It's no coincidence Sony released this statement now when they have an event this week promoting their new system, and I don't care if they cancel that event that still won't mean shit because it'll business as usual for them when this dies down.
came in to say this...
Even if they do. What matters is what sony and these other companies you know with millions of followers are bringing more awareness to this issue, at least will make this situation drag instead being forgotten by monday.
