You're right that interaction and sharing your opinion with writers and creators is generally good, but that isn't always the case. The image the OP used is Voltron, so while they didn't specifically say so, it's still pretty well implied (or a really great example) that it's about Voltron.
You can have a casual conversation about ships and canon with a creator, which I agree is fine, but people tend to get really creepy about it, like how the Voltron fandom acted, which isn't.

But even then, I think the problem with Voltron fandom was the harassing and the creepiness. OP seems to be talking more generally about asking for things being the problem - all this stuff about how it's "walking all over someone else's vision" to ask someone to "give you what you want". And I fundamentally just don't agree with that - it's only a problem when people take it too far, which Voltron fandom is an example of.

I suspect the OP used the word "badgering" as opposed to "asking" deliberately.

In that case I do agree. Kinda like how a beta, or comments on a fic shouldn't interfere with the decisions an author makes creatively. Just so long as nobody expects the author to change everything to suit their tastes, it sucks when some people don't know or care what or where the line is, and that sometimes authors feels compelled to shift things because of that. Giving suggestion, and assuring someone that if they decide to go a certain way they would be supported by their viewers, is a good thing absolutely.

I do tend to cringe a little bit when people get really 'fandomy' out of a fandom setting, but I'll admit it's mostly because of those Voltron type fans. I forget sometimes it can be done tactfully. Unfortunately I think it's rare that it is done respectfully.
