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.

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.
