What you guys don't realize is that by hating on him so fiercely and intensely you actually draw attention to the issue, which was his kind of plan all along. So you're basically doing what he wanted, which is making AIDS medially profitable.
I'm not saying that what you're doing is bad, actually AIDS and its treatment needed some attention quite desperately, but you people seem to think of yourselves as big heroes for hating on this guy while you're basically dancing to his tune. Yes, his desire was probably to get rich (duh), but what he also aimed towards was to make AIDS medially profitable so more money would go into its research. Hated or not, you gotta admit this guy succeeded with an A+.
Now, whenever I post this I get a lot of hate and downvotes, and maybe my opinion really is very controversial, but I assure you, I am not on his side. I am not picking sides. I am just presenting another point of view, so here goes: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3262871/Woman-claims-matched-Tinder-hated-HIV-drug-boss-publishes-private-conversation-price-hike-controversy.html
As I said multiple times before, I don't advise trusting this completely. It's obvious he's trying to make people stop hating him, and so advocates his decision. After all, we all would've tried to justify ourselves in such a situation. But at the same time I think that trusting a bunch of angry kids on the internet who make posts about things they barely understand may not be the wisest course of action either.
It has grown into a lot more. And it makes me sad that most people here don't even take the time to think about it, and instead completely dismiss my attempts to show them another side of the story. It's like they want to be biased and controlled by a bandwagon. *sigh*
I think what you need to understand is the Internet is really, really dumb. People don't wanna see another side of a story with a guy who is a total prick, they wanna laugh and move on to the next thing so that's what they do.
The guy's a massive dick, and people don't like him because of it. It's not any more complicated than that. If along the way some drug gets some sort of spot light that helps people, then fine. Regardless, that article looks like horse shit, so I don't think this is really an issue.
@miniegg true. Sad, but true.
@garlog he is, but he brought attention to an issue that needed it, so dick or not, he accomplished something. As to what concerns the article, as I said, I don't trust it, I just try to take it into account. But I don't make my opinions based on fs posts either. It's people making these, as it is people writing the articles. Journalists are usually expected to do a bit of research, even though in this case it's different as the girl did go "capitalism is pure evil hurr durr", which makes her opinion seem biased and her article shitty.
