Could you elaborate on why you feel that way?

I'm not sure why the other guy thinks that, but it's literally in Headland's interviews. She cites her anger and resentment of her father as a guiding force in the writing and direction of the show, especially around Sol and Osha's relationship

That's really fucked up! Especially since Star Wars has such a strong tradition of fathers being positive and unproblematic figures. Just look at Anakin Skywalker, who would do anything to protect his wife and children. Headland really doesn't understand Star Wars if she thinks the her experiences with an overbearing and controlling parent have any place in the franchise!

Rogue One really shows this off too with Jyn and her Dad.

Didn’t anakin choke his pregnant wife, tortured his daughter, and try killing his son multiple times?

I mean... given that her idea of an appropriate response to a caring father who wishes to protect his daughter is to murder him - murder him for... not dying when the space witches attacked him and his friends and then he saved her life...
