The drama was a couple of weeks ago and just someone ranting at one of the discord mods. It wasn't very interesting but then it was continued on here.
Oh, and I missed that?
I'm an early MrDots supporter and their Discord has some good channels, but I left their server because of a
specific Mod's attitude. I miss the place and am trying to not let it sour my attitude towards their games.
Fortunately, I find the discussion+arguments here on MrDots' games to be good, too. Very different dynamic, being an asynch forum.

Finally getting around to playing part 26, but I wanted to re-save my "all-in" path since almost the beginning of Chapter 3 with different choices. Re-experiencing things helped me re-appreciate how quickly things have been progressing.
It was most interesting to revisit the key points where D's trust in MC has opened up her rapid acceptance of a swinging lifestyle that they both feel comfortable and secure trying.
But it still irks me that MC can
cheat on D and have only one or two minor thoughts on the matter, otherwise manipulating her expectations of him being honest and open ... while she otherwise opened up about her affair with Elena after it had caused much anguish to keep that inside.
The more this chapter continues, the more he demonstrates a willingness to just wait for the right time to make all his cards play well together for the final (harem-style) win. All those similar questions asked of the two when their secret has been discovered - i.e., did he manipulate her? ... has been the weakest part of this story thus far.
Of course he manipulated her, but we could sort of overlook that when she came into her own and broke away from her mother's restraints, still dedicated to the guy who helped her. He really did win her heart in a fairy tale manner, but his lusts were evident since early in Chapter 1 - he even recently admitted that his intentions to massaging her breasts were lies meant to ... enjoy her breasts and maybe turn her on. As usual, she forgave him immediately and saw the positive side of his lies ... because the end result was something she appreciates. Yikes, but OK.
But, Chapter 3 has become a whole new ball of wax and MC's fully manipulating D when you play an all-in or similar set of options, IMHO.
This is why I expected a comeuppance and point of friction in the future: either D takes implicit cues from MC's own attitude and goes farther+faster than he anticipated, causing a miscommunication and (temporary) bruise to their relationship's trajectory, or D discovers MC has been sleeping on the side all along and even her style of near-infinite forgiveness finds its limit.
