the argument against it is that it's a loving stupid idea

Tactical Nuke:
I think there's a little bit of confusion here

I'm totally for creators taking part in their creations so long as it doesn't constitute self-insertion
someone I know who's an actor tho didn't want to take part in a play she was directing because she thought that it degraded the work regardless

I just want to know where that belief comes from

that belief comes from too many terrible examples of mary sue (warning: tvtropes link) happening, intentionally or unintentionally. you can find this most evident in the resident evil movies which were just absolutely loving terrible cause the director or something had his wife play the lead female character and its painfully obvious.
