Mirfandas can take pleasure in their communal understanding that they are “insiders.”

     Art from a Mirfanda. While Ballinger’s efforts to engage fans as herself outside of the Miranda character have been somewhat successful, her interactions with “Mirfandas” in character are the more compelling ones. […] A wall full of fan art, much of it from actual Mirfandas, decks out Mirandas bedroom walls in all their crayoned glory. […] Mirfandas, believe it or not, function similarly — of course, they view everything that Ballinger uploads and attend live events but are also committed to putting in time outside of mere watching to keep the project going through fan art, questions, and requests. […] And so the Mirfandas return to their natural state. It’s almost like Haters Back Off! never happened, if the YouTube and fan reactions are any indication.
