"So when I got the information from others about what the weather report was, there was this real concern from friends of mine or co-workers of mine that saddened me. I also was like, 'I know who these guys are'. You don’t have to tell me who’s talking about it or how bad it is online, I know exactly who they are. I supported them on Patreon."

"There are some of them that I respect, and there are some of them that I think are absolutely snake oil salesmen, just opportunists. Then, of course, there are the fascists and racists. So it runs a gamut. It isn’t just one thing or the other. So I think that if you’re in part of the fandom, you understand the genre and the tone of particular channels and creators."

Towards the end of the interview, Headland was asked a really leading question about the negative online reaction to The Acolyte. She gave a really measured and nuanced reply, which I think is worth quoting at length;

"I am a Star Wars fan, which means I have always been, since the launch of YouTube, part of the Star Wars recap/criticism/lionization fandom community. These guys I’ve known for years and years."
