Memetically Annoying

The character of Bright is not the same as author, aka you can separate art from the artist. While there absolutely are cases where you cannot do so (coughharrypottercough), SCP is very good for this as it's a collaborative non-profit project. Character Bright is part of the community and even if he was to be erased by the wiki, the fandom wouldn't let go so easily, so I do not understand why even bother. Deleting character Bright and pretending he simply never existed is just wrong. We have had similiar situations with authors before, and it usually resulted in "retiring" the characters. You can't deny character Bright has/had too much influence to be simply erased and forgotten. While I despise author Bright with every fiber of my being and absolutely do not condone anything they've done, character Bright does not deserve to be erased. I understand why authors would want to delete their tales with them in it, and respect their decision, but in my opinion it's a fucking stupid decision.
