If I recall pollymc had a controversy about something that made everyone drop it for some reason, can't recall what it was though

I think polymc and pollymc are two different things.

PolyMC (with one L) is the launcher that had the controversy. Prism Launcher was forked from PolyMC, and PollyMC (with 2 Ls) is a new project forked from Prism Launcher.

Ah I see didn't know there was a new one, interesting that they carried the name and added an L, could be a turn off for a lot of people

The PolyMC controversy is that one of the devs went rogue and kicked everyone else off the project, so they didn't really have a choice but to fork. They explain what happened on the FAQ of their website.
