They were known from our services.Rewriting Ripley Revisited
So, for a brief (if overdue) update on this post last week about the Rewriting Ripley article that raised eyebrows with its professional-looking presentation. This went on mostly ignored by the Comicsgate rank and file but Dataracer, a rarity that is an active Fandom Menace member dropped this twitter thread that was swiftly amplified by the Quartering.

The two culprits, Katie McCort and Mariet Guerrero, made the classic mistake of posting the rallying cries for their anonymous cancel campaigns under their personal accounts, which were well known as mentally unstable twitter ringleaders in the Reylo fandom. Given the matchup in names and adding that Guerrero actually confirms her age (37) in the first of the two Rewriting Ripley podcasts. This seems like an inexplicably sloppy misstep in what otherwise looks to be a very solid operation.
In follow up tweets, Dataracer next directs to a thread made Jan. 2020 by LucasFilms social media manager Michelle Buchmann (who has since scrubbed their social media profile), calling out for academics "familiar with fandoms and digital culture online" where she was connected with Bethany Lacina and Morten Bay (actual academics). It should be noted that both academics were cited heavily in the Rewriting Ripley article.

This is followed by other tweets noting Pablo Hidalgo's following of the Rewriting Ripley account, then Dataracer recounting the hit pieces penned by Katie McCort in the past about "Reylo persecution" that were then carried and given legitimacy by Bethany Lacina's connections in the Washington Post, railing against the lies levied against him by McCort in the past.

Exposed, the until now polished and well-presented Ripley account dissolved into incoherent, poorly spelled, sprawling twitter sperghetti arguing that youtube clickbait is the first step to domestic terrorism; the sort of fare that one might expect from someone who's defining personality characteristic is masturbating to tumblr gifs of Kylo Ren and not the rigorous, academic thesis levied initially by Katie and Lady V. Everything neatly wrapped up by Dataracer with an assist from the Quartering.
Or is it?
Studying Comicsgate for as long as I have, one gets a sixth sense when it comes to gayops. Does a mentally ill Star Wars Reylo, no matter how obsessive, really have the capability of making all this happen? And what about the colossal drop in writing quality from academic thesis to word salad spazout? These are telltale signs of a Zombienomicon-type figure, hanging in the back while a useful patsy serves as the public face and leader (and inevitable reprisal recipient). But who?

Returning to the Rewriting Ripley About Me page, the author describes themselves as a Webby Award Winner. As far as anyone is aware of, the hosts Reylos Katie and Lady V have not won any Webbies.
But Michelle Buchman has. Referring to her LinkedIn profile:

This would explain the wild rollercoaster of composure and craft going on behind Rewriting Ripley as well as some of the more implausible aspects of Dataracers's explanation - Michelle Buchman is the actual author of Rewriting Ripley and the two podcasters were just sockpuppets. But would former LucasFilm employee Michelle Buchman sit back and let two Reylos take all the blowback for her labeling some of the largest "anti-SJW" youtubers as "alt-right" and calling for a deplatforming campaign while she hangs back with a scrubbed social media footprint?
