A Subnautica developer has reportedly been fired over controversial comments he previously posted to Twitter, with the game's sound designer Simon Chylinski tweeting that he has been ousted from his position at Unknown Worlds Entertainment.
Chylinski has come under fire recently after a number of recent comments he posted to Twitter were placed under the spotlight. The sound designer took to Twitter yesterday to post an update on his status with Unknown Worlds Entertainment, tweeting: "so. i just got fired.. :("
Isn't it illegal to fire someone for their political views in California? Unknown Worlds Entertainment may be in for one hell of an uncapped damages lawsuit.

Since when is hateful speech a "political activity" or "political view"?
Hate speech coming from the highest office doesn't make hate speech okay. Nor does it make it a political view.

It may not make it OK in your view, but how on Earth does it not make it a "political view"? If the hate speech is not only made by a politician, but it's a big part of his campaign, then of course the hate speech is a political view. You (and I) may not like it, but if the voters really are voting for someone because of their hate speech, then it absolutely is a political view.

How about we get to basics. You are simply fudged up and do not belong in a society with Free People. Hate speech is not a thing. ALL speech is ok. The only acceptable response to speech you disagree with is to speak your objection. I know some of the folks here live in shitholes without the Right to speak freely, but here in America we believe we have an absolute Right to speak, assemble, petition our government, print stuff, etc. and CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW bridging those Rights. If it isn't controversial speech it doesn't need protecting. Nobody ever got sent to the camps for agreeing too strongly with the current official Party Line. It is speech that sends pussies to their fainting couch that requires protection.
Most of what what this guy was fired for tweeting is best described as painful truths. If you import too many shitholians your country turns into a shithole. That is simply reality. Haiti isn't a shithole because of some mystical radiation seeping from the land, it isn't blighted or suffering some extraordinary natural disaster. If the current inhabitants were removed it would be a tropical paradise again in a few short years. It is a shithole because it is filled with Hatians. And if you relocate large quantities of them they will bring their defective customs and patterns of thought with them. Same goes for most other shithole countries.
If small numbers are introduced into a developed country there is some evidence that after several generations many can be assimilated, but we aren't discussing small numbers. And in the case of Europe this guy was discussing Islam is a complication. No program of assimilation that doesn't involve conversion can make them suitable as citizens in a civilized land.
Company is in CA but if this guy is not in the U.S. he probably can't sue. Sad.
