In an article published on the ''[[Rock, Paper, Shotgun]]'' website, the developer was accused of implementing deliberately sexist game-play mechanics.<ref name=a>[https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/11/02/rimworld-code-analysis/ How RimWorld’s Code Defines Strict Gender Roles] [[Claudia Lo]] of ''[[Rock, Paper, Shotgun]]'', 2 November, 2016 [https://archive.fo/hQvpl Archive.fo]</ref> The assertion by Claudia Lo is that the game was deliberately designed to ignore the stress women face from being wooed. As males are more likely to do the wooing, and the negative debuffs for the characters only effect the wooer. It is, for this reason, perceived as a deliberate slight.

[[Tynan Sylvester]], a key member of the development team, responded in the comment section of the article in opposition to the claims made by Lo. He include copies of correspondence with fans of the game, including researchers, and also his correspondence with Lo herself. Sylvester claims that he refused to interview with ''Rock, Paper, Shotgun'' out of a belief that his comments could be taken out of context. Editor-in-Chief [[Graham Smith]] confirmed that the publication prefers to maintain full editorial freedom in its articles, and that there was no offer for a verbatim, unedited, interview.<ref name=a/>
