Controversies
In March 2022, the patch notes of a Domina update contained a message recommending people not to wear face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. This caused a backlash from the community and the game was review bombed on Steam, making its recent reviews rating drop to "overwhelmingly negative".[9][10] This was following earlier patch notes containing messages against Internet pornography,[10] and followed by transphobic statements. Gorissen reported several of the reviews, which he labelled as "fraudulent" and an "orchestrated campaign of lies," but Steam moderators chose not to remove them. Gorissen consequently announced in August 2022 that Domina was unlikely to receive future updates on the platform.[11]
In September 2022, a new Domina update contained transphobic comments and personal transphobic insults about Keffals, a Twitch streamer.[12][13] Steam delisted Domina citing "insults targeting another person," "various rule violations" and announced "ending [their] business relationship with 'Dolphin Barn Incorporated' and removing all associated products from sale."[13][14]
