For some reason this question makes me think of this one page from Baki:

I think there is some similarity between this notion and Cavemanon vs KOOP.
The RW 4channer chuds were writing purely out of passion, for the love of the game. They didn't care if their writing was perceived as offensive or not, they weren't out to prove anything to anyone, they wrote the story the wanted to write for the fun of it. They did take criticism and feedback in their writing process, but ultimately I think they were true to themselves and their characters. They had more creative freedom than KOOP.
The KOOP empaths, they were limited by worrying about how others perceive them. They can't be writing anything "offensive", they have to worry about essentially "toeing the party line" in their writing and I think they put that first at the expense of their characters.
But perhaps there's also some survivor bias at work. If the Cavemanon people had failed in writing a good memorable story, they would have simply been forgotten and we would not be talking about them now.
