People who talk this shit are never the fans, they’re never someone who might have bought it, it’s a fools errand to even acknowledge them.

Yup. Noticed this with plenty of “fans” opening thread after thread of hateful drivel on Steam forums, e.g. for Paralives. These people are clearly not interested in the game. Some even confessed to having been incited by alt-right streamers.

Yeah, zero chance people like that were actually going to play paralives to begin with.
Not too long ago, I ended up randomly on one of those “curator” lists where they review basically everything in terms of wokeness. You know, so you can buy responsibly or something. That shit is hilarious.
Like half of the “nope” have no reason but “there’s gay marriage in it”, but wait, Skyrim has that too… “Err yeah, but we like that one so, it’s okay. For… reasons.”
And I remember one game getting a “Not Recommended” with the only line in the whole review being “In the trailer, you can see a man knitting”.

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.
