If Gears or Clef said “hey I want you to pull my stuff down as I wrote it but feel free to rewrite in your own words without crediting me” there would have been no questions asked. They already replaced the iconic pictures for the Old Man and 682, it was for licensing reasons but it’s still a pair of dead sacred cows. They only saw the workload of deleting hundreds of pages, they got on a high horse about integrity of the canon that doesn’t exist when they made sure I couldn’t adequately refute the point.I think there's a group of people who wouldn't have had this request granted either. Gears, Clef, and some other old guard names come to mind. Doesn't make it any better for them to act the way they're acting right now, of course.
They saw a moral challenge, and blinked because this version of SCP Staff, ss, is self-conscious about its illegitimacy. Absolutely petrified of backlash. That’s why they passed the buck to a public vote on the SCP Forums, an arbitrary voter pool they have the most influence over and they can claim a pool of a few hundred randos most of whom have never read or used my work and say that they’re following the “will of the users” or “respecting the wishes of the wider community” as opposed to valuing the individuals in that community.
found this editorial I wrote for the so-called “Site News” the first version I wrote in 2018 and was rejected and told not to show it to anyone by ARD, Procy and Nico.
Later then I rewrote it after I came out and decided to not try and submit it again. So you can see they are not able to even acknowledge these basic truths. Even I let myself forget about it after I wrote it, because I didn’t know what to do with it:
What Are We All So Afraid Of?
