In the past, PlayStation has shown support for other\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/ps4-black-lives-matter-theme-playstation-store\/\">social movements, such as Black Lives Matter<\/a>, so it comes as no surprise a statement was made regarding this rising issue.<\/p>\n<p>The statement itself comes by way of the official PlayStation Twitter account, where the company calls for action against the rising number of hate crimes. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/playstation\/\">PlayStation<\/a> and SIE announced it will be making a donation to the Stop AAPI Hate nonprofit organization, while urging others to educate themselves on the ongoing issue and to donate if they can.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED<\/strong>:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/shang-chi-simu-liu-anti-asian-hate-crimes\/\">&#8216;Shang-Chi&#8217; Star Simu Liu Speaks Up Against Anti-Asian Hate Crimes<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though the tweet is naturally brief, it is clear and precise in conveying the sentiment those associated with PlayStation feel about the well-established rise in Asian American hate crimes over the past year or so. For those who may be unaware of this ongoing issue, it has been reported by various news and media outlets, such as\u00a0CNN and\u00a0NBC, that Asian Americans hate crimes have risen at least 150% in the last year, with Asian Americans reporting being the targets of harassments over 500 times in just the last two months. Many have speculated these hate crimes began to rise in part <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/video-game-delays-2020\/\">due to the coronavirus pandemic<\/a> originating in China.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, PlayStation, being a brand that originated in one of the most prominent Asian countries, would have strong feelings about this social issue. Though <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/playstation-office-japan-drinking\/\">PlayStation and Sony are largely Japanese-oriented<\/a>, the company is well-known for having a very large\u00a0presence\u00a0in the West, as well as in Asian territories. That, compounded with the undoubtedly broad demographic of players who own PlayStation products, gives PlayStation just that much more investment into the issue, similar to the rise in awareness of the Black Lives Matter movement last year.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlayStation\/status\/1372253973697097730\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Of course, some detractors may say that this is nothing more than a brand trying to virtue signal a relevant social movement for immediate attention. For example, many <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/twitch-black-lives-matter-video\/\">social media users criticized Twitch&#8217;s BLM video<\/a>\u00a0for similar reasons, after many deemed the video in poor taste due to the inclusion of mostly white streamers. However, regardless of personal feelings it is important in and of itself that PlayStation is bringing more awareness to this issue at all. Additionally, it is abundantly clear that PlayStation and Sony, given the brand and company&#8217;s history, would be sincere about supporting this social movement.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, the ongoing coronavirus <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/interview-virtual-video-game-orchestra-talks-song-selection-music-pandemic\/\">pandemic has strangely brought many people together<\/a> over the past year, despite the numerous hardships many people have\u00a0suffered through. Unfortunately, the pandemic has also divided people in\u00a0countless ways, both physically and intangibly, over the past year or so. Sadly, it seems it will continue to do so for some time beyond it, as is evidenced by the growing number of reports of these targeted hate crimes. Hopefully, as <strong>PlayStation<\/strong>&#8216;s tweet suggests, those with the financial means can support organization like Stop AAPI Hate in these important times.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/sony-ps2-games-ps4-ps5-backwards-compatibility-re-releases\/\">Sony Should Bring More PS2 Games to PS4 and PS5<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/asian-america\/anti-asian-hate-crimes-increased-nearly-150-2020-mostly-n-n1260264\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NBC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/16\/us\/asian-americans-hate-incidents-report\/index.html\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CNN<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>PlayStation and Sony Interactive Entertainment releases a statement denouncing the rise of Asian-American and Pacific Islander hate crimes in the US.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"PlayStation Releases Statement About Rise in Asian American Hate Crimes - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"PlayStation and Sony Interactive Entertainment releases a statement denouncing the rise of Asian-American and Pacific Islander hate crimes in the US."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218147"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218147"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":218162,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218147\/revisions\/218162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
