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

Yeah, but even before this contest there's always been interest in the fairies. I can't recall the article's name, but in it, the founder of the Foundation used the capital-F Factory as his base of operations before it got raided by the fairies, and the whole "industrialization versus naturalization" conflict began.
That's Bright's 001, the article that inspired 4000.
So, uh, where do I go if I want to write SCPs?
Not the SCP wiki.

Shit like this is why I want this thread to stay in Multimedia, for those who are wondering.
 
That's why I asked.
SCPCommune if you feel like dealing with the exact same people with somewhat better writing tastes.
RPC if you feel like dealing with insanely autistic and dense lore, picky critique and overall retardation.
Backrooms / Liminal Archives if you feel like doing SCP / RPC but micro, far worse in overall quality and with an accelerationist userbase.
Your personal writing folder if you want to avoid the trouble and just feel like writing.
 
While it's sad to see them go, to a degree, it's good to know that several staff and authors are leaving or at the very least taking a break from the SCP community. This stuff really can mess with your head, and it's good to know that self-awareness prevails and gets people out of it, at least for a little while.

Internet popularity, even isolated in a relatively small community like the SCP wiki, is addictive. Seeing random people talk about you, positive or negative, gives a little "hit" in your head, and that can be debilitating, especially since some of the...victims? We see on the SCPwiki don't have much going on outside of the internet.

I experienced that even for a little while and to such a small degree, but it was really surreal seeing a ton of people (at maximum maybe 10), discuss me and what I did with Doctor Doctor Doctor, even though what I did was like a blip on the radar at most. I've never experienced something like that on the internet before.

Can you imagine how incredibly addictive it'd be to see dozens, or even hundreds of people praise you online? That's what's going on here. The product is feeling useful, feeling good, feeling like you accomplished something, and while it's mostly unintentional, the SCPwiki's staff has been peddling out fantasies to whoever is willing to give in. Look at all of these different authors. You can see them slowly become more and more invested into this and then, well, something cracks.

Those 3 days I spent in the limelight back in what, March? Could've gone in a totally different direction. "I wonder what else we can make them do", right, Harmony? Imagine how stupid it would be to try to keep doing that "crusade" over and over again. It'd be insane! But that's what these people on the wiki are trying to do. They struck gold, and now they desperately need to strike it again before that empty feeling creeps back in.

And they do. But each time, the gold is a little less filling, a little harder to find. It never gets easier. If you- or the SCP members reading this- are going to take anything from this thread, at the very least take this. It will never satisfy. It will never fill that God-shaped hole in your heart. None of it will last, none of it is real. And you type away at your keyboard, hoping to conjure the next big thing. More words, more CSS, more upvotes.

Your nihilism, evident as it is, is only skin deep. You desperately want to be remembered. You need to be. What are you, but an empty face behind a screen? Will these people ever know you as anything else? Are you anything more than a name to them?

No. And that is all you can ever be to them. Irrespective of whatever title you acquire, whatever contest you win, however many messages you delete, you cannot change that. Nothing is new under the sun. You find yourself building another tower, and when it collapses- and it will, in time- to whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth?

And that's it, I got nothin else to add. Those are my two bits. I came, I got the article removed, said a few stupid things, and now I'm out. I'll probably stick around and maybe comment now and then but if I'm being honest, I've overstayed my welcome. Peace.
 
Holy Christ in a handbasket, Batman, I've caught up with this thread. This morning, I was a naive individual. I'd enjoyed reading SCPs in bulk every now and then, maybe once a year. Like last year, I had a craving for shitty anomalous entries, and read SCP-5000, and every single other SCP mentioned in that colossus of an article, and every SCP mentioned in their articles... and so on. I've never been a member on the site, but I knew some of the staff members on the site had some worse reputations than others, and that their characters were all cringey, self-insert, power-fantasy trash. Beyond that, the great rewrite of the site that purged a lot of mary sue SCPs, and that there was a weird RP scene, I thought the wiki was pretty harmless.

Then I was browsing some other threads in the off-topic sections of KF, and found one for SCP. I just posted that wiki page about writing a SCP without much thought. I saw the wiki had a trans flag icon (though now it's a pride one, so maybe I mistook it the first time) and thought, maybe I should check the thread out to see how they went from 4channers to woke spewers. Now I've read about accounts of sexual deviancy and harassment, the top brass of the staff being made up of pedophiles ruling with an iron fist, copyright and legal mumbo jumbo, and all these past staff/community members coming out of the woodwork, some trans, to ironically work with KF like some grand conspiracy to overthrow this tyrannical force.

This is like when I found the Homestuck/Andrew Hussie thread, and was like, "Oh, I heard Hussie was a little problematic, and that Homestuck 2 was trash, but how bad could it have gotten?" only to find that he'd become an e-boy, trooned out, and that Homestuck 2 crashed and burned without a trace after becoming a propaganda machine.

I don't have anything to contribute at the moment otherwise, though now I'm interested in seeing where this trainwreck will head next. Just wanted to express how I feel like I've been living in a different universe until just now.

This thread is definitely a bizarre one, even by the standards of this forum. A lot of the regular posters here have never posted anywhere else. It almost feels like it has its own culture, separate from the rest of KF.

Dude, it's just a cartoon frog.
It's not just that sentence that stands out. The entire article can be summarized as "big bad bigot frog turns nice". Hell, the researcher effected by 6404 is literally named "Marx", I'm not kidding. The SCP is nothing more than a excuse for the author to preach to their audience.

And they didn't even do that properly. Compare this interview log to the others you've seen, and you'll see that the researcher here reacts with more emotion and actively scolds the SCP rather than keeping a neutral stance. Why would the researcher give a shit about "hate symbols" and racism? Every day, people meet a horrible end in the Foundation and she's concerned about hate speech?
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Weiss: Are you there?
SCP-6404: duh lol
Dr. Weiss: I need to talk to you.
You hurt one of my colleagues this afternoon.
He saw you on a forum page and he started shouting and throwing up.
SCP-6404: you mean that fat guy? figures hed be a pussy
Dr. Weiss: What a horrible thing to say.
What are you doing? Why have you started acting like this?
SCP-6404: im the same as ever my dude. if some limp dicks cant handle me thats there own problem
Dr. Weiss: You are NOT the same.
When I first met you, you posted a meme telling people to feel good, and they did.
Now your images are making people lose their shit.
Did you know your face is a hate symbol now?
SCP-6404: what does that even fuckign mean LMAO
[Pause for three minutes as Dr. Weiss opens various tabs in her web browser.]
SCP-6404: tfw foundationman leaves you on read
totally not a wholesome 100 keanu chungus moment
Dr. Weiss: Sorry, I'm here.
SCP-6404: ok so what is it then. do you even know LOL or are you just parroting someones bullshit
Dr. Weiss: A hate symbol is an image that's associated with intolerance and harm.
[Dr. Weiss posts a link to the Pepe the Frog page in a hate symbol registry.]
Dr. Weiss: People use hate symbols to intimidate people and spread violent messages.
In your case, Pepe the Frog is now considered a symbol for racism and antisemitism by the Anti-Defamation League.
SCP-6404: wtf lol losers
Dr. Weiss: It’s a widely-held belief.
SCP-6404: lmao shut up
Dr. Weiss: I’m completely serious. It’s been reported and discussed quite a bit.
Honestly, I presumed you knew. You’re active on white supremacy forums, are you not?
SCP-6404: uhhhh no LOL? wtf
Dr. Weiss: …I'm not sure what to say. I've seen you post on Reddit and 4chan pages that espouse racism.
SCP-6404: like fuck you have
which ones then
[Dr. Weiss provides several examples from the tabs she opened previously.]
SCP-6404: doc you got it all wrong LOL those guys are just having fun
Dr. Weiss: I don't know what else to tell you. The presence of your image on those pages led to your status as a hate symbol.
SCP-6404: everyones so sensitive, christ
Dr. Weiss: That's not fair to say
Just because you don't mean to hurt people, doesn't mean you aren't.
Intended or not, your impact still matters.
You've hurt me before.
[Pause for two minutes.]
SCP-6404: doc are you for real rn
Dr. Weiss: Yes
SCP-6404: i hurt you
Dr. Weiss: Yes
[Pause for four minutes.]
SCP-6404: …idk maybe i dont remember but i swear we're just dicking around
Dr. Weiss: Tell you what
Go look at the pages you're spending time on, the ones I linked for you.
Look at what people are saying.
I mean really, really look. Read it closely. If you don't recognize a phrase, Google it
And pay attention to how YOUR image is being used in these conversations
Then come back here and tell me what you found out.
Ok? Will you do that for me?
SCP-6404: …
Ok
brb ig
[Pause for 78 minutes]
SCP-6404: dr weiss?
Dr. Weiss: I’m here.
What did you see?
[Pause for two minutes]
SCP-6404: i did what you said
i read thru what people were saying
and how they are using me
i really just
[Pause for two minutes]
SCP-6404: there are so many
so many awful things.
the first meme i found, like
i was
attacking someone
with my mouth
they were naked, i think i was supposed to be like
nvm actually
but they dress me up
as like a nazi or in the kkk hood
i googled the names like you said
kinda wish i hadnt
and like it wasnt just one of them either there were like
hundreds
doc why do they do that??
am i like this???????
Dr. Weiss: No, I don't think you are.
I know you. I trust you.
But do you see what I mean now?
SCP-6404: yes
Dr. Weiss: I really care about you. You're my friend.
I hate to see you hurting people.
SCP-6404: i swear i never meant to
youre my friend too i promise
i was playing around. it’s always always a joke
Dr. Weiss: Did you really think those jokes were funny, though?
You have such a great sense of humor.
But it isn’t funny to us when we can’t control our own minds.
[Pause for four minutes]
SCP-6404: im sorry
dr. weiss i am so sorry
Dr. Weiss: It’s all right. I forgive you. But this has to stop now.
[Pause for 20 minutes]
Dr. Weiss: Hello? Are you still there?
[END LOG]
As if that weren't bad enough, the author seems to think that a simple google search is all it takes to get someone to have a change of heart, yet they think that those are the type of memes that first pop up when searching up Pepe the Frog. Holy fuck.

SCP-6404: Joan?
Dr. Weiss: Hi there! I haven’t heard from you in a while.
SCP-6404: yeah
yeah i've been
away for a bit, I guess
in Hong Kong
Dr. Weiss: So I’ve heard.
SCP-6404: hey, so
Have you noticed any… idk, changes with me lately? around here?
Dr. Weiss: What do you mean?
SCP-6404: like changes in how i'm used
Dr. Weiss: Oh. Well, ah. I’m really not sure. Your images are used by so many people. It’s sort of difficult for me to say.
SCP-6404: you haven't, idk
Seen anyone new start using me? or seen anyone stop?
Dr. Weiss: Who are you talking about?
SCP-6404: well, I mean
the supremacists, the bigots, all those guys you pointed out to me
who else, right? haha
Dr. Weiss: Ah. I understand.
I wish I had good news for you there.
But I’m sorry to say your image is still being used by numerous… Extreme groups.
SCP-6404: …I see
I'm still a hate symbol huh
even after all that?
Dr. Weiss: I’m afraid your image is still classified as such by the ADL, yes.
[Pause for 15 minutes]
Dr. Weiss: Hey, are you still there?
Listen to me. I want to talk to you.
SCP-6404: i'm here
Dr. Weiss: Why did you go to Hong Kong? What were you trying to do?
SCP-6404: idk haha
screwing around I guess
Dr. Weiss: Bullshit.
SCP-6404: …yeah.
you're right
uh
yeah I guess
idk
I was hoping i could
fuck why is this so hard lol
Dr. Weiss: Take your time.
SCP-6404: I was hoping I could change how people looked at me, you know?
like if they saw how good I could be maybe they'd realize… idk
realize I wasn't the fucking nazi people think i am now.
guess that failed pretty bad haha
Dr. Weiss: I don’t think so. I think it was very noble of you.
SCP-6404: what why lol
Dr. Weiss: You helped people.
SCP-6404: I mean
i guess? idk if they'd say the same.
and anyway people are still just using me to spread their bullcrap stateside so
It's not like anything changed
Dr. Weiss: It’s not that simple.
SCP-6404: you're telling me
Dr. Weiss: Change is really hard. Once people start to see a thing a certain way, you can’t just expect that to flip overnight.
It’s not always about showing them proof that they’re wrong about something. It’s all about showing them that you’re on the same side.
SCP-6404: wdym?
Dr. Weiss: I mean talking to them. Supporting them, showing empathy for them. So they don’t need to see things—see YOU—like an enemy any more.
Do you get what I’m saying?
SCP-6404: I think so
Dr. Weiss: That’s what you were doing in Hong Kong. You were supporting people.
It’s just a start. But it was the right thing to do.
I’m proud of you.
SCP-6404: :)
Thanks Dr. Weiss
That actually means a lot, thanks
[Pause for nine minutes]
SCP-6404: Hey doc?
Dr. Weiss: I’m here.
SCP-6404: Hey, so uh
you know how you were always pushing me to pick a drawing and stay in it
so your guys didn't have to chase me around so much
I think I'd uh
I think I'm ready.
Dr. Weiss: You’re willing to enter containment?
SCP-6404: bruh LOL why you gotta make it weird
but yeah, I gyess
you have be nice to me tho haha
Dr. Weiss: We will. I’ll speak with the site director right now. We’ll have a room ready for you soon.
Thank you. I’m sure this isn’t an easy choice.
SCP-6404: you might be surprised
…I really missed you, Dr. Weiss

Suprise! The self-righteous researcher saved Pepe the Frog from being a nazi bigot! Hurrah! The article is new, but there's already some praise going around. Take this comment for example:
Hey, you. Yes, you. You made me cry over a pepe the frog scp. A profound inspection on the ways a symbol can change throughout time, along with analyzation of how a symbol can change over time masquerading as a goddamn meme article? With the dialogue of 6404 and the reasercher being heart-rending as fuck? Yeah, that's a +1.​
We must be reading two different articles because the interview logs in question were anything but "heart-rending".

We must be reading two different articles because the interview logs in question were anything but "heart-rending".
Yeah, those interviews read like it was conducted by the type of person you'd get into a Twitter argument with and not a professional researcher.
 
It's not just that sentence that stands out. The entire article can be summarized as "big bad bigot frog turns nice". Hell, the researcher effected by 6404 is literally named "Marx", I'm not kidding. The SCP is nothing more than a excuse for the author to preach to their audience.

And they didn't even do that properly. Compare this interview log to the others you've seen, and you'll see that the researcher here reacts with more emotion and actively scolds the SCP rather than keeping a neutral stance. Why would the researcher give a shit about "hate symbols" and racism? Every day, people meet a horrible end in the Foundation and he's concerned about hate speech?
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Weiss: Are you there?
SCP-6404: duh lol
Dr. Weiss: I need to talk to you.
You hurt one of my colleagues this afternoon.
He saw you on a forum page and he started shouting and throwing up.
SCP-6404: you mean that fat guy? figures hed be a pussy
Dr. Weiss: What a horrible thing to say.
What are you doing? Why have you started acting like this?
SCP-6404: im the same as ever my dude. if some limp dicks cant handle me thats there own problem
Dr. Weiss: You are NOT the same.
When I first met you, you posted a meme telling people to feel good, and they did.
Now your images are making people lose their shit.
Did you know your face is a hate symbol now?
SCP-6404: what does that even fuckign mean LMAO
[Pause for three minutes as Dr. Weiss opens various tabs in her web browser.]
SCP-6404: tfw foundationman leaves you on read
totally not a wholesome 100 keanu chungus moment
Dr. Weiss: Sorry, I'm here.
SCP-6404: ok so what is it then. do you even know LOL or are you just parroting someones bullshit
Dr. Weiss: A hate symbol is an image that's associated with intolerance and harm.
[Dr. Weiss posts a link to the Pepe the Frog page in a hate symbol registry.]
Dr. Weiss: People use hate symbols to intimidate people and spread violent messages.
In your case, Pepe the Frog is now considered a symbol for racism and antisemitism by the Anti-Defamation League.
SCP-6404: wtf lol losers
Dr. Weiss: It’s a widely-held belief.
SCP-6404: lmao shut up
Dr. Weiss: I’m completely serious. It’s been reported and discussed quite a bit.
Honestly, I presumed you knew. You’re active on white supremacy forums, are you not?
SCP-6404: uhhhh no LOL? wtf
Dr. Weiss: …I'm not sure what to say. I've seen you post on Reddit and 4chan pages that espouse racism.
SCP-6404: like fuck you have
which ones then
[Dr. Weiss provides several examples from the tabs she opened previously.]
SCP-6404: doc you got it all wrong LOL those guys are just having fun
Dr. Weiss: I don't know what else to tell you. The presence of your image on those pages led to your status as a hate symbol.
SCP-6404: everyones so sensitive, christ
Dr. Weiss: That's not fair to say
Just because you don't mean to hurt people, doesn't mean you aren't.
Intended or not, your impact still matters.
You've hurt me before.
[Pause for two minutes.]
SCP-6404: doc are you for real rn
Dr. Weiss: Yes
SCP-6404: i hurt you
Dr. Weiss: Yes
[Pause for four minutes.]
SCP-6404: …idk maybe i dont remember but i swear we're just dicking around
Dr. Weiss: Tell you what
Go look at the pages you're spending time on, the ones I linked for you.
Look at what people are saying.
I mean really, really look. Read it closely. If you don't recognize a phrase, Google it
And pay attention to how YOUR image is being used in these conversations
Then come back here and tell me what you found out.
Ok? Will you do that for me?
SCP-6404: …
Ok
brb ig
[Pause for 78 minutes]
SCP-6404: dr weiss?
Dr. Weiss: I’m here.
What did you see?
[Pause for two minutes]
SCP-6404: i did what you said
i read thru what people were saying
and how they are using me
i really just
[Pause for two minutes]
SCP-6404: there are so many
so many awful things.
the first meme i found, like
i was
attacking someone
with my mouth
they were naked, i think i was supposed to be like
nvm actually
but they dress me up
as like a nazi or in the kkk hood
i googled the names like you said
kinda wish i hadnt
and like it wasnt just one of them either there were like
hundreds
doc why do they do that??

Dr. Weiss: No, I don't think you are.
I know you. I trust you.
But do you see what I mean now?
SCP-6404: yes
Dr. Weiss: I really care about you. You're my friend.
I hate to see you hurting people.
SCP-6404: i swear i never meant to
youre my friend too i promise
i was playing around. it’s always always a joke
Dr. Weiss: Did you really think those jokes were funny, though?
You have such a great sense of humor.
But it isn’t funny to us when we can’t control our own minds.
[Pause for four minutes]
SCP-6404: im sorry
dr. weiss i am so sorry
Dr. Weiss: It’s all right. I forgive you. But this has to stop now.
[Pause for 20 minutes]
Dr. Weiss: Hello? Are you still there?
[END LOG]
As if that weren't bad enough, the author seems to think that a simple google search is all it takes to get someone to have a change of heart, yet they think that those are the type of memes that first pop up when searching up Pepe the Frog. Holy fuck.

[BEGIN LOG]
SCP-6404: Joan?
Dr. Weiss: Hi there! I haven’t heard from you in a while.
SCP-6404: yeah
yeah i've been
away for a bit, I guess
in Hong Kong
Dr. Weiss: So I’ve heard.
SCP-6404: hey, so
Have you noticed any… idk, changes with me lately? around here?
Dr. Weiss: What do you mean?
SCP-6404: like changes in how i'm used
Dr. Weiss: Oh. Well, ah. I’m really not sure. Your images are used by so many people. It’s sort of difficult for me to say.
SCP-6404: you haven't, idk
Seen anyone new start using me? or seen anyone stop?
Dr. Weiss: Who are you talking about?
SCP-6404: well, I mean
the supremacists, the bigots, all those guys you pointed out to me
who else, right? haha
Dr. Weiss: Ah. I understand.
I wish I had good news for you there.
But I’m sorry to say your image is still being used by numerous… Extreme groups.
SCP-6404: …I see
I'm still a hate symbol huh
even after all that?
Dr. Weiss: I’m afraid your image is still classified as such by the ADL, yes.
[Pause for 15 minutes]
Dr. Weiss: Hey, are you still there?
Listen to me. I want to talk to you.
SCP-6404: i'm here
Dr. Weiss: Why did you go to Hong Kong? What were you trying to do?
SCP-6404: idk haha
screwing around I guess
Dr. Weiss: Bullshit.
SCP-6404: …yeah.
you're right
uh
yeah I guess
idk
I was hoping i could
fuck why is this so hard lol
Dr. Weiss: Take your time.
SCP-6404: I was hoping I could change how people looked at me, you know?
like if they saw how good I could be maybe they'd realize… idk
realize I wasn't the fucking nazi people think i am now.
guess that failed pretty bad haha
Dr. Weiss: I don’t think so. I think it was very noble of you.
SCP-6404: what why lol
Dr. Weiss: You helped people.
SCP-6404: I mean
i guess? idk if they'd say the same.
and anyway people are still just using me to spread their bullcrap stateside so
It's not like anything changed
Dr. Weiss: It’s not that simple.
SCP-6404: you're telling me
Dr. Weiss: Change is really hard. Once people start to see a thing a certain way, you can’t just expect that to flip overnight.
It’s not always about showing them proof that they’re wrong about something. It’s all about showing them that you’re on the same side.
SCP-6404: wdym?
Dr. Weiss: I mean talking to them. Supporting them, showing empathy for them. So they don’t need to see things—see YOU—like an enemy any more.
Do you get what I’m saying?
SCP-6404: I think so
Dr. Weiss: That’s what you were doing in Hong Kong. You were supporting people.
It’s just a start. But it was the right thing to do.
I’m proud of you.
SCP-6404: :)
Thanks Dr. Weiss
That actually means a lot, thanks
[Pause for nine minutes]
SCP-6404: Hey doc?
Dr. Weiss: I’m here.
SCP-6404: Hey, so uh
you know how you were always pushing me to pick a drawing and stay in it
so your guys didn't have to chase me around so much
I think I'd uh
I think I'm ready.
Dr. Weiss: You’re willing to enter containment?
SCP-6404: bruh LOL why you gotta make it weird
but yeah, I gyess
you have be nice to me tho haha
Dr. Weiss: We will. I’ll speak with the site director right now. We’ll have a room ready for you soon.
Thank you. I’m sure this isn’t an easy choice.
SCP-6404: you might be surprised
…I really missed you, Dr. Weiss

We must be reading two different articles because the interview logs in question were anything but "heart-rending".

Fun fact, I’ve been downvoted before by the person who cried over the Pepe skip.

If anyone wants to try their hand at writing sci-fi / horror / fantasy / containment fiction, they should! It’s fun. But it would be best to find a community that gives a shit about any of those things.

Don’t bet on a wiki that’s still burdened by ancient forum software.

Don’t turn to a community that’s afflicted by the distorting effects of a vote system that encourages clout-chasing and pandering.

And definitely don’t trust the site staff that’s obsessed with consolidating power at the cost of all else.
 
Good grief this meme contest is worse than the crack fic contests, I never thought I’d look back on those fondly but at least it was tongue in cheek. The “Hogslice” one is at least moderately amusing to start with but like every entry on this wretched competition it hammers the joke well past the point of it being humorous. There’s one character trait on display, which is “I want to be dado please.”

the Australia one is literally just the Laserdisc player SCP but without the wit or originality.

I anticipate the upcoming entries with a mix of dread and anticipation to see just how toothless the SCP approach to critique has become.
