Portrayal of LGBT characters
Despite its success, the portrayal of a lesbian couple (Charlotte and Maria) sparked some controversy by conservative groups, leading to people accusing GoM for "pushing the agenda" in a media aimed for kids and teens, alleging that it's attempting to encourage them to experiment homosexuality with each other.

Stella defended herself from those accusations by affirming that Charlotte and Maria's sexuality is not their most important trait and that Charlotte should be seen as a caring and loyal friend, therefore, she shouldn't be judged just from her sexuality. Same can be said to Maria as she should be seen as a rather TBD.

Charlotte and Maria's voice actresses also supported Stella's statements and TBD.

The reveal of Daisuke as homosexual also gathered similar controversy for similar reasons: pushing the agenda and encouraging kids to experiment homosexuality.

Some international versions in countries where LGBT rights are a crime edit Charlotte and Maria's relationship into just friends with all romantic affections being omitted, with a few countries even banning it as a whole.

SJW fanbase
The fanbase is rather infamous for being toxic, especially given its LGBT approach, as it has been negatively compared to fandoms of Steven Universe, Sonic the Hedgehog, Five Nights at Freddy's, Undertale and Collin the Speedy Boy. Some of them are derrogatorily named "social justice warriors" (SJWs) due to constantly TBD.

Some of those fans are infamous for engaging in feuds with fanbases of Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Collin the Speedy Boy, especially when it comes to TBD.

Other situations also happen when dealing with shippings, especially regarding the canon pairing Charlotte/Maria and fan-favorite William/Lily, TBD.

In a video Stella made with Rebecca Sugar, whose created show Steven Universe is also infamous for its toxic fanbase, she addressed the fans by saying that she condemns such behavior and other things that TBD.

Adult fanart and fanfiction
Aside from writing non-canon plots for her works in fanfiction websites, Stella attracted some controversy for some of those works, alongside some of her art, featuring her characters and even some from other franchises in rather explicit and pornographic situations, which was seen by some fans and fellow creators as insulting and disgraceful.

Despite that, most fans and creators, while not necessarily agreeing with it, gave Stella their support for doing what she likes to, even if it means letting characters get into these situations.

In an interview she gave, Stella revealed that does adult fanart and fanfiction since she finds fun to imagine characters in rather lewd situations since "even the nicest person has lewd dreams" and for some shock humor as well.

Darker approach shift
Stella's decision to turn the series darker (to the point where it's T-rated) after the mixed reviews of Cleo Unleashed was received with mixed reactions as some fans didn't like it due to some fans believing that she is trying to make kids and tweens who are huge fans of GoM turn away from it.

According to Stella, she wanted to try newer plots that might be rather disturbing for younger audiences and make the series more serious than others and affirmed that, despite the changes, she will still try to appeal to kids, although there were previous attempts to make the series darker in spin-off works such as Maria and The Masked Crusader.

Trivia

 * Charlotte is one of the first openly bisexual characters in a Warner Bros. franchise.
 * The game series is described as one of Warner Bros.' most well-known classic video game franchises, next to Collin the Speedy Boy, Mortal Kombat, The Dinosaur Princess, Bailey the Face Paint Hero, Scribblenauts, Howler, Mark: Time Janitor, Lollipop Chainsaw, The Sea Legend and Fluke.
 * Darklia appears in every game, despite being only the main antagonist in the first installment. Starting with Rise of the Dragon, she starts to grow some compassion and respect for Charlotte, despite their sides, later betraying the Iron Emperor and turning into a supporting character after The Skeletal Curse, readopting her birth name.
 * The creator of the series revealed in an interview back in 2014 that they planned since the beginning that Darklia was not supposed to be the series' main antagonist as they wanted to make it secret that she was actually working for someone bigger and that he was to be revealed in The Skeletal Curse.
 * However, those plans were delayed due to trying to incorporate the secret villain without success, since there were some delays in the game's production, being later revealed as the Iron Emperor in The Skeletal Curse.
