contracting HIV from eating monkey meat

[babayetu83]

i noticed today there is HIV icecream so there must be an HIV chem. this should be obtainable via an incredibly small chance (maybe .5% chance) from consuming monkey meat

[Noah Buttes]

Please no.

Remember when space mouse bites could give people necrotic degeneration? This would be like that only worse.

Plus, it just seems to be in poor taste.

Eating raw monkey meat should give you Monkeying Around. Eventually you turn into a monkey.

[Ed Venture]

I agree with Noah

[Technature]

Monkey meat and synthetic meat are pretty much the only real ways to get more meat without murder. Please don't punish the easiest way to make burgers.

Ehhhhhhhh

HIV is a touchy one. It's heavily stigmatized and in most of the world is not only a death sentence but also a severe social black mark. It makes me uncomfortable to include that in the game as some sort of punchline for eating monkey meat.

Why is this even a thing in code?
How many STIs are even in goon ?

[Vitatroll]

SAIDS is an ICTI or, since we're all high-clearance here, a CCTI. It has nothing to do with monkeys or sex you silly sharks.

As an attempt to provide a somewhat relevant alternative, what about blood borne diseases being spread by using a syringe on different people i.e. needle sharing? If not HIV for cultural fears what about like Hep C or something? Maybe also shakey ground though.

well when i was half asleep typing this up i was coming more from the angle that you would contract this through consumption of raw/improperly cooked meat

If viruses were easier to cure than stabbing your eye out with pathology, I wouldn't be nearly as terrified if this were implemented than I currently am.

could we fucking not turn horrific real life diseases with social ramifications or even analogues like space aids into a fucking punchline, considering laughing about these things is edgy middle schooler tier

allow me to make a better suggestion: purge the supposed HIV chem and any chems like it from the code

why not like salmonella except it turns you into an actual salmon

We could also just rename it since its current functionality is just infect you with every other old style disease.

Call it BIOWEAPON STRAIN DELTA or something.

Alternatively, replace it entirely with this:
