It all started last weekend when one fan of Subnautica on Twitter revealed series of senseless posts related to race and gender, all while to itself has tied poll from the 2016 when game's director Charlie Cleveland asked players to choose between playing a female or to studio dedicates itself to improving underwater adventure. Chylinski then wrote that "we need sliders of diversity" in options to turn our same character into something dark, more feminine and less sex appeal being. "

Although Cleveland dismissed such objections as pure scrutiny, Twitter users drifted deeper into Chylinsky's account where they found a series of inappropriate statements and postings condemning immigration from third-world countries, mocking the problems of transgender people and the inequality of pay among the sexes. It should also be emphasized that the director of the Subnautica also wiped out the original poll and apologized for the badly written article adding that he was also fighting for the representation of women in his own team and games because it was extremely important to him.
