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

I haven't seen anything more exploitative and disgusting... Like ever. The fucking disrespect for somebody else's mental health and the entire clusterfuck surrounding them to make a shitty point... And it's just, not even good.

I don't have anything against the author, but seeing people like this is horrifying. To what degree do they have to dissociate themselves from a "former friend" to even begin to appreciate this? Not only that, comparing Harmony to 682 is outright disgustingly delegitimizing of their identity and intent. I genuinely didn't believe this would fly ever in the SCP community, but it fucking did.

LMAO no room for subtlety I guess, if anyone ever again tries to tell me SCP is a place where good writers post I'll point them to this

"Does more to humanize Harmony"

How unimaginabobble! Is someone I don't like actually human? Holy fuck, is this a thing?

How does anyone even say shit like this? Do you realize what a fucking psycho it takes to say something like this?

The fucking balls you'd need to have to pretend you can understand what's going on in the head of someone who hates you, and to go a step further and try to get OTHER people to pretend to understand it, would be absolutely massive.

Lmao the inhabitants of SCP itself are an SCP that are disgusting and humanity needs to be protected from these scum.

I never understood what Roget was going through until someone compared him to a stupid lizard monster

SCP is actually a highly intelligent lizard monster.

You're right. 628 doesn't post pictures of his feet to KF so it makes even less sense

I’m watching for someone to unironically pull the transphobia card.

Just this so far:

682 is almost like Arthur Schopenhauer but as an actual lizard monster that will actually kill you given the chance.

Having a difficult time articulating my thoughts on the piece itself, but the discussion about whether pieces like this are acceptable or not is one that should be had, and I find it upsetting that staff are shutting it down.

Not at all shocked though, I’m sure.

Not in the slightest.

They are justifying the behavior by calling it a bold way to process being abused.

So if I get this right; someone cultivates the community for a decade, gives their (shitty, sorry harmony) work for free, then exercizes a liberty that they have been told repeatedly they have had all along, then that community suddenly redefines that liberty as just a loan, snatches that back because the goods are too precious to lose, finders-keepers it all for themselves, washes their hands of any wrongdoing by way of a manipulated vote, kicks the person out, tries to sell their grief as being about the person despite it very clearly being about the works more, calls it "doxxing" to share information that the "doxxed" person released themselves publically, flays the person metaphorically upon the alter of upvotes, celebrates it as stunning & brave... and the people who walked away with everything they wanted to retain -- the people who avoided any damage -- now need to publicly process it all as collective abuse survivors??

I don't agree with Harmony's descion either but that is Olympics levels of crazy. Way to be the better people here.

What's stranger to me about that interpretation is, if it's supposed to be about the pain inflicted on others, why is basically the entire piece a psychoanalysis of the person apparently inflicting the pain?

Probably because thats the angle they want to explore the pain from.

"better" is subjective, both parties shouldn't have taken this as far as they did. Roget is only comparatively better because he's not blatantly lying like SCP. Roget shouldn't have tried to take his toys out of the sandbox because of "muh identity", and SCP shouldn't have tried so desperately to weasel out of his request. So far, all this whole debacle has proven is that every person who takes SCP seriously is a backstabbing power-tripping mentally ill nerd, which was obvious already

I don't quite know how to articulate this, but I'm bothered by some of the contexts in which the word "abuse" is being used in the comments. I'm only going off of personal experience here, but there seems to be a tendency in the SCP community to turn an individual person's trauma into community trauma. I've seen it happen a few times over the past few years, especially when a high-profile person gets outed as a sexual predator. Harmony has done some objectively bad shit over the past week and a half and in the past. If she has for any reason done anything to personally harm you, if her actions have resulted in you experiencing harassment or distress - I think you're justified in using that word in some capacity. But if not, you shouldn't be claiming to have trauma. Harmony doesn't owe anything to the community as a whole. In fact, it's very fucking inappropriate to appropriate the feelings of other people. You may be a direct observer, but you're not the one experiencing them.

Yeah. It's like trying to make a funeral an opportunity to share your shitty emo poetry.

And to be clear, the criticism isn't that the author did this strictly for upvotes. It's that the factoring of that into the equation wasn't enough cause for restraint. That someone is ok with taking what this sentiment is supposed to mean for them and throwing it to a vote, as was the gist of the legacy vote itself, is enough to make my point; upvote culture is just that normalized. It is the site's currency, their only way to officially ascribe meaning to and validate their feelings and thoughts. As long as it's in the positives, it will be seen as righteous, it's survival taken as a sort of objective proof of that. Only if it is negative, then deleted, will the author be able to feel shame.

Upvotes are the currency of their morality.

On top of that, the drama is still ongoing, so these are fresh wounds being voted on right now.

Apparently the new Harmony=SCP-682 tale is being shot down faster than an unauthorized rocket launch outside of a military base.

Probably because more people are aware of it now and it's highly controversial all around. It's been up for over a day and though it's at +7 now, it was at +15 when I first saw it a couple of hours ago. Here's an archive of the discussion section for future reference.
