The game itself is fine, it's a fun, if fairly generic "survival" sort of game with heavy base building mechanics. But the memes about it all became about "edgy pokemon with guns and brutality" so this very PG sort of game is being treated like some R rated gorefest by idiots trying to be funny because their favourite youtuber made a joke about it. So naturally CHUDs love it because they get an excuse to be openly horrible.
It's basically a glorified asset flip except the assets are stolen and the game goes out of its way to be as immoral as possible.
Which sadly puts it just so slightly above what the game's industry has been shitting out for the last couple decades.
