* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The beginning of "The Cutie Map, Part 2" has the DM quitting because they've repeatedly had issues with the way the campaigns turn out (specifically, they want the story to go one way, the players go off the rails and the story goes in a whole other direction) that end with the DM doing something that results in drama that hurts their friendships, and as such they feel that they need to stop DM'ing and work through their issues. A lot of fans in the comments disagreed, saying that the problem is more that the DM and the players aren't a good match as a group, and the DM needs some players who are more willing to stick with their plot and not go off the rails.

* MoralEventHorizon: Concerning BaseBreakingCharacter Sunset!DM, those that consider them irredeemable point out when they (briefly) took Twilight's player's phone from her, escalating an argument that was otherwise confined to the campaign.

** Similarly, the comments are very much divided on Sunset!DM from the Equestria Girls Guest Arc. One side emphasizes with her and thinks she's just an unexperienced new GM whose panic is fully understandable given the tense situation she's in. The other side thinks she's just a genuinely terrible person and hate her guts. There's also a third camp that's unsure what to think about her. Notably, this comes to a head in the comments for [[http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/comics/1373 this comic]].

* BrokenBase: Hoo boy, the comments on the comic are divided on the guest DM playing Discord. Some assume he's acting within the bound of the game and is simply making a few mistakes due to not knowing the group as well and is genuinely trying to give them a fun time, while others assume he's an out and out villain out to punish the players and is a terrible DM. The most contentious curse is Applejack's, as a theoretical "punishment" for her metagaming.

** Though we're not sure of the context yet, Twilight's player seems to have her own issues, shown by her reaction to learning about her character having a brother. This is later expanded on a bit when we learns that she is terrible at keeping in touch with family members, as evidenced by her having no idea her real life brother has a fiancé.
