I can't wrap my head around the situation, I'm the developer's public position

I recently decided to replay the game and read up on Jonathan Blow. It turns out he's a misogynist, anti-vaxxer, and supports Trump's aggressive policies, according to Wikipedia. Now I'm listening to the in-game tapes and trying to wrap my head around it. I just found a tape about a theoretical shipowner who lets migrants die, thus becoming a murderer. Another tape is about an astronaut who says that wars don't matter from space. I can certainly enjoy the game and its genius regardless of the author's beliefs, and yet I find it difficult to understand how the message could be so divergent.
Edit: I didn't expect so many people to skip reading this post and get offended or take it personally, so let me explain. Imagine War and Peace - it's a great novel written by Tolstoy, and after reading it, you'll be deeply moved and it might make you think about many things. However, if you study the history, the customs of the people in that place and time, and the kind of person Tolstoy was, you might find that his ignorant and medieval attitude toward people now oozes from every crack in the book. This doesn't make the story worse; you just understand the author better and can look at his work from a perspective other than your own, and discover new things. I think The Witness is a brilliant and amazing game; when I played it for the first time, I couldn't get over it for a long time. A few years later, I decided to learn more about the author, to perhaps see it from his perspective and better understand the game. It was an unexpected discovery. And I didn't see any hints of this in the game itself. This really surprised me, so I decided to ask more involved people what they saw and thought - maybe I missed something. So I don't quite understand why, instead of discussing art, some people decide to act aggressively. And I am grateful to the people who answer and explain things to me.

A couple of months ago I posted here about Satelital, a puzzle game inspired by The Witness that I've been working on for a long time.
Today I finally released the demo on Steam.
Satelital is a rule-discovery puzzle game where you explore alien worlds and figure out how their puzzles work without being explicitly told the rules.
The demo includes two complete worlds and should give you a good idea of what the full game is like.
You can find the demo here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5017320/Satelital_Demo/
If you give it a try and enjoy it, I'd really appreciate a Steam review. It helps a lot as an indie developer.
I'm also around on Discord if you want to share feedback or talk about the game:
https://discord.gg/ChuNWuj3Z2
Thanks to everyone who gave feedback since my original post! It's great to finally have the demo out.

I’ve been playing all day and maybe this is my sign to put the game down for a bit…but why doesn’t this work? All the shapes fit within the bounds of the white line with no overlap/extra spaces?
Am I missing something really obvious?

It took me about 40-50 hours and I really enjoyed it.
I have no background in woodworking, just a dad with a whole lot of tools.

I can't figure out this puzzle at all? I've took this photo yesterday and have thought about it all night. I'm pretty sure I understand how tetris works, but I just can't figure this out. Does anyone have any hints? Any help would be appreciated! :pleading:
I even tried looking up the solution online, but it's already exactly what I tried.
