Fuck that noise. The dude materially hurts queer people, and it’s not like FNAF is some transcendent work of art with no fandoms similar to or adjacent to it. At this point, saying “death of the author” just feels like a justification for popularizing a property that funds hate.
I am with you there. I wouldn’t introduce someone new to harry potter, but I still cherish the memory’s of growing up with it. That stupid bitch don’t hold no power over that with her racist and sexist behavior. Its my story now that helped me trough a harsh, lonely childhood.
Like with Harry Potter fans, at some point you need to let it go and that’s when the creator pushes hate.
Death of the author is a neat concept though.

that’s about interpreting the work, not about absolving moral choices
We agree, but sadly people won’t if we push back. It is likely they will just double down.
We don’t need to roast them over a fire at all times, but we need to let them know where we stand and never compromise on that
Fair point, we’re just a little jaded right now.
