should the creator of a piece of media play a role in it if they want to

[Conan]

kinda stupid to suggest that all cases of creators inserting themselves into their work is detrimental to the quality of the work. theres definitely many more cases of that being true than false, but theres a nontrivial number of examples where it worked

[Ad Bot]

[Foxscotch]

yall from this day forward youre not allowed to contribute to your creations in any way

[PhantOS]

everyone knows you can't have a good movie if the director puts himself in as an actor

quentin tarantino always fits perfectly in his movies

[Alternat¡ve]

Quentin Tarantino just puts himself in movies as an excuse to say monday

[Drydess]

[wakes up in the desert for the third time in this movie, and proceeds to type on two laptops, neither of which are on]

anyone who thinks they can be more successful in their search go for it

[Foxscotch]

I'm trying to find the argument against this and I can't find it

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.
