Creators, as we know, are people, too. They have ups, they have downs, they have opinions, and sometimes they screw things up. This is an index for all of those tropes that show or result in some part of the creator's humanity, world view, or mental state influencing his or her final work.
Please note that if someone else's opinion influences the work, they've probably got the creator(s) on a Creativity Leash.
