Replies were bombarded with harassment and enbyphobia, trotting out the usual, "Why did you say their? Is she a group?" talking point, like a wall of Buzz Lightyear toys repeating their stock phrase. Others ask how to un-back the project, some describe the announcement as a "threat," and then come the usual buzzwords: Erika Ishii is a "toxic activist," a "woke idiot," "Antifa terrorist," and a few blatantly racist descriptors we obviously won't repeat here. Understandably, Double Fine turned off the comments.

Oh I got excited for a moment thinking the cancelled paradox sims game got made after all, but it's a different one. Is it good? What's the controversy anyway, did they allow creating characters that conservatives don't find attractive or something?

It's a very barebones and buggy game right now. Might want to give it another year or two before buying, since it can't even hope to compete with "the" life sim at the moment, let alone stand on its own feet. Right now, it's just a foundation upon which a good game could be built.

As for the controversy, there isn't one, of course, apart from manufactured nonsense. The usual "outrage" about the game allowing players to create people that exist in real life, but that conservatives want to kill.
