Because they’ll pretty much always ignore the
valid stuff to cherry pick the harassment and go “See? This is the bullshit I put up with! PITY ME!”. That’s while keeping their ace in the hole: the famed “Well,
I’m working for Hasbro and
you aren’t” card.
Why even bother trying to help them improve when they just don’t give a damn in the end? They fully know they’ll get all the validation they want from the fandom the moment they ask for it, there’s just no reason for them to improve.
Was there even
anyone other than Larson which ended up admitting that their work could’ve been better? Even then, it was while he was no longer working on the show. I get that it’s basically career suicide to shoot down your own work
while you’re still working, but all too often it comes at the cost of their own credibility when they end up picking select harassment cases while stonewalling any actual criticism, no matter how neutral, unbiased and respectful it is. That’s when it doesn’t devolve into “Any criticism is HATE!” territory… and it usually does at one point or another.
TL:DR: Transparency plz.
