SCP Foundation - Creepypasta with roid rage - now ITT: SCP fans

[Punished “Venom” pH]

Harmony, do you think you could find logs to back up what @Eskisehir said in this post? They've been gone for a while and never delivered. They weren't on AH so it should be somewhere in #site67 around the beginning of January 2019.

Oh god Xiao, that was a shit show. Yeah I can look right now. This isn’t that but still an enlightening look at negative attitudes the ss show behind closed doors:


Dumbass didn’t even know Hitler’s fursona would have obviously been a wolf.

Shit-talking Communism Will Win/Scantron & TheRaven


None of my logs from January talk about Xiao that I found but I remember it so the dating may be off, I will keep my eyes out.

Held together by exactly one thing, given on a silver platter.

“I’m in favor of banning all of them, petty bastards are going to hate us no matter what”

and they wonder what happened to civility

haha they thought they were going scorched earth they have no idea what that means

I found the closest appearance of Sax/Xiao on 2018-7-09 will go forward from there until I find his reckoning

Although the tale “The Self-Insert” is pretty good

That is the least of their problems honestly they’re squandering the opportunity their LGBT writers provide by throwing them under the bus and repeatedly failing to actually protect them in a supposedly “welcoming” environment

IMO, the second they made their writing submissions page into a 'community' is when it started to go downhill. Anytime there's a community for something, it's always going to invite the spastic autists that enjoy that thing. Not saying it wasn't kinda autistic before, but after making a virtual meeting grounds for these people is when shit really started hitting the fan.

I could just be retarded and gay, but for me that's when the SCP fandom went to hell. The hierarchy started to get co-opted by the woke crowd, quickly ascending their ranks by bitching and moaning their way to the top, then they promoted the hell out of their cringe-inducing OC's that would have fallen to the wayside in the past.

Where it used to be about the interesting lore behind creatures that would gain them popularity on the page, it's devolved into which perverted fantasy mod/influencer 'X' wants to experiment with through a writing project on some sentient trans-AI. Sure, there used to be a lot of shit before, but part of the fun was sifting through all the ass to find the hidden gems, and those gems would gain popularity which transcended the SCP project.

And I have to disagree that SCP hasn't absolutely bended the knee to LGBT. They've basically handed them their passion project, I don't know how much more welcoming you can be than that. But of course, anyone who knows anything about anything knows that it's impossible to please this group.

Were you actually involved with the SCP community and chats in any fashion? Because I can assure you, the disagreement is completely subjective.

Everything you say about hierarchy is on point, the LGBT thing is really not something that was damaging, other than the repeated credibility hits of claiming a safe space and then not delivering on that promise.

It is absolutely beyond question that a corrupt hierarchy is perched on top of an idea that on paper belongs to everyone but in practice is just the ss power creep squeezing the life out of everything, gay, hetero or otherwise.

Maybe it wasn't the LGBT persay, but from what I've seen through their writing projects, most of the mods are either gay or just have some sort of sexual confusion.

Not saying it's directly the cause, but a lot of these sorts of people that infiltrate communities happen to be LGBT. Maybe they use it as a sort of shield, seeing as how effective it is in deflecting criticism, making it easier to infiltrate and replace? I don't know. What I do know is that the people who are in charge are responsible for its fall off.

The people worst affected by drama and other bad things in the SCP community have always been LGBT people. It’s been repeatedly pointed out in this thread that the reason they’re so vulnerable is that they’re tricked into thinking the SCP community is safe for them. A lot of the pride stuff is fake, but not for the reason you’re assuming.

It’s absolutely a tool to deflect criticism, while in practice abandoning lgbt users to their fate and/or making their work totems for haters. I and the other people in charge failed spectacularly at everything, especially our duty to care.

You know, this reminds me of how I told Mann and M_E to stop collecting money to fight Duksin after we reached the funding goal because it would be a bad look to have everyone’s money and no results... and now they have the money and no results and you can be sure they’ll redirect that money to fund their next website if they haven’t already. A great use of time and energy to look good in the moment but have no real plan because Corvus is a shitty fake paralegal
No refunds.

Did they say that’s what they were planning? How much money was leftover, anyway?

To expand on myself for a second, I want to clarify; There was no "woke crowd" in SCP. The idea that there was is completely manufactured by the staff group both on IRC, the forums, and on Reddit. Always has been, always will be. What this essentially means is that the only "wokeness" was being performatively done by staff in order to draw in more of the sort of people staff wanted to be in charge of to keep their image of SCP going. Normal-ass users don't really give a shit about how "woke" you are, as long as you're not an outright asshole. If you want to pal around with your friends and call each other flaming faggots in side chats, more power to you. But it was the staff keeping people under that image of wokeness. The actual people who would have gotten legitimately offended by a lot of stuff were proportionally few and far between, and some actually later ended up becoming staff later on down the line, so it kind of goes to show on its own what the image they're aiming for is.

As for LGBTQ ruining writing, that's not the case. LGBTQ has no inherent good or bad qualities in writing, the only thing that affects that is whether or not you're a good writer, and have perspective on what you're writing. More LGBTQ stuff showed up because more LGBTQ writers showed up and wrote things they enjoyed, because staff used their now obviously performative wokeness to drag them into the community's writing sphere. SCP has always had good and bad writing, C-Class Personnel 1200342 being hot for his buff bear cell guard doesn't make an article bad just because he's gay. People just use this as a scapegoat to try to glorify the more simple non-narrative articles which is perfectly fine. There's nothing wrong with liking simple articles, and you don't have to make up reasons to bash the new ones.

Anyways, that's my topical ranting.

Yeah if you look in the fine print it says any leftover money is basically a slush fund, the ss raised over 150k and haven’t released any receipts.

No updates for three months
Even though it is “stand with SCP-RU” the ss made sure they were the ones holding the purse strings because leadership wanted to have the leftover money to do as we pleased with for a new website

After June 2018, Clef openly rejecting the roots of the SCP Community and deriding /x/ as trash, you know; the place all the SCPs everyone who isn’t a snob knows and likes came from.View attachment 1941244

To be fair to Clef here, the old days of the site when it was basically just a handful of dudes from /x/ weren't super great. High-ranking staff could basically do whatever they wanted, even edit other people's articles without their consent, and unless you were one of them or in their good graces you pretty much just had to deal with it. Being 4chan users, early staff used this unchecked power to troll people. Not a great time to be a regular user. It's a little hypocritical for Clef to deride this because he was editing random pages and calling people faggots along with the rest of them back in 2008/2009, but he's had over a decade to change so it's whatever.

Also, those reasons for not switching to Discord are the most retarded shit I've ever seen. Let me go through the two visible ones:

too much work for operators

No it isn't, if you're willing to do a small amount of work to set up bots and infrastructure the entire process of moderation can actually be massively streamlined.

voice chat is hell to moderate

Then don't have one.

I wonder if they'll ever admit that they only keep IRC so they can grab IPs and locations of people they don't like.

Somebody please explain to me what a creepypasta is like I'm not autistic.

Can you find proof of this somewhere? Because if that’s true then the SCP fanbase was seriously taken advantage of.

Why is there a community for this?

 

[Cow-Chan]

Why is there a community for this?

Same reason there's a community for anything, because more than one sapient living creature enjoys it.

Why is there a community for this?

Some random dude published a short story about a murder statue that shits everywhere on /x/ in 2007, people in the thread wrote other things in the same universe, and it was all downhill from there.
