I get that, but if people don't have the opportunity to make mistakes, they're never going to improve. That's how progress works. You're not just saying no to all the dumb stereotypes and poorly executed characters, you're saying no to the awesome ones that lie in our future.

No, that's how immortalizing "stupidity" works. If a director has terrible representation of black characters in his films and he continues to do so until he realizes that what's he's doing is wrong and makes a change, his newer+more positive films won't erase his bad past. It's like how society never forgets the embarrassing crap you've done and thus comes to associate you with what happened. They're not going to look at the director and only say he made progress. They'll still acknowledge his past works were embarrassing while at the same time saying "at least he changed." Progress doesn't just come from making mistakes. It can come from being told not to do something in the first place.

Nowhere did I suggest that the creators shouldn't be given constructive criticism on how good of a job they're doing or not doing. But the fact remains: if you don't allow people the opportunity to try something and risk screwing it up, you're not going to get anything good. The worst thing anyone can do for anything artistic is to tell people not to attempt doing anything unless they're positive they can do a perfect job. That's simply not realistic, and it doesn't allow for the fact that most people learn by trial and error.
