no character is ever truly "outdated", a style however can be outdated fast.. look at Superman.. the character is not outdated despite him originating at least in 1940s.. however he needs to adapt constantly to society's change or his style becomes dated.

no way in heck would Silver Age Superman survive in today's society - his style of story at that time would be mocked out of any media today.

that's the problem Slender and his like face, the style of creepypasta and memes is dated by design.. they need to reinvent him every now and then to keep him "fresh".. that comes at a price as people will complain any new takes on him is "not Slender" while attempts to keep him the same will make him stale and outdated.

internet is like that, you can not win.

I don't think admins on this site care either way - the problem with characters as overused as Slender Man and FNAF is people are so exposed to them that they begin to dislike them by default.. just like Superman.. many hate Superman just for being Superman but if they sat down and watched a different take on him they may enjoy him (hate New 52 and the dark Superman? watch the Golden Age Superman.. who embodies good and does no evil.. hate the "invincible" Silver Age Superman? try and watch Smallvile or Justice League, where he is depowered significantly.. the list goes on..).
