Depends how you do it and which tone you used: like for example in the recent wolfenstein games it had a plot point about a group of jews that were owners and creators of bunch of magic and ancient technology that the nazis use for their "wonder weapons" and no one care

I don't agree with this persay. I think everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is up for grabs when it comes to writing. But, much like comedy, how acceptable it is is entirely based on your execution and respect for the topic.

That's kind of what I'm getting at, yeah. I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with using the Holocaust as the backdrop for an SCP, but when you get to the point where you're going "there was this disease that made Jews into walking lardbombs, the ghettos were for their own protection, and Mengele was a gudboi who dindu nuffin and was trying to cure it", maybe you should take a step back and reassess what you're doing.

One of SPC's constant refrains is that "everything is political", which allows users to get away with thinly-veild Orange Man bad articles. I'd love to see what the supposed "political" message behind this article is supposed to be.

One absolute indicator of a complete dickhead is anyone who says "everything is political." No it isn't, shut the fuck up, moron.

I'm going to bring up a different issue, an issue that lasted on the wiki for 11 years. An article by AdminBright titled 'Doctor Doctor Doctor'. It contained the following segment:
For context, the article describes the author's SCP self insert 'Dr. Bright', who, through sheer bad luck following an experiment, had their consciousness imprinted on every living thing on earth.
Including underage girls.
While I don't want to be dramatic, this section contains descriptions of a 13-year-old flashing over a webcam for a grown man.


I don't think I need to clarify any further why this is disgusting. Nobody went so far as to even criticize the article for 6 goddamn years pardon a handful of people, most of which were new to the site. Staff commented or even defended the article, such as Zyn, A Random Day, etc. who did not go so far as to actually point out the fact that there was underage sexualization on the site written by one of the staff. In fact, our very own PixelatedHarmony even defended the article, quote:


One case would be Ihp, one of the largest contributors to the site, who made a joke or two under the article but otherwise said nothing, and then, suddenly, after I drew attention to the article they decided to pop up and point out how the article was disgusting and had no place on the wiki! Radio silence for years on the subject and now that it's no longer fashionable to ignore the article, they've come back around to criticize it.
People change, to be sure, but they did nothing about it for 11 years. The one who edited out the pedophilia wasn't even staff! How convenient that someone else had to clean up AdminBright's mess.

After I called attention to it, it went from +234 to +211. Here's to getting it removed.

Late on this, but you absolute fucking madlad.

Yep, it's nothing but a cop-out. They know that when people say they're tired of political articles, they mean "badly written topical politics," not the broadest definition of "politics" available on Merriam-Webster.

I know we already know Butter was perma'd cause he joined the Farms, but this is just so profoundly scummy to me. It's old news but I can't help but bring attention to it.

Why do most internet moderators speak in this stiff, pseudo-bureaucratic tone? It's like they're trying to sound smart. It's really annoying. @pixelatedharmony you used to be one of them, what was the reason for you people talking like this? Genuinely curious.

Dexanote, I know you read this thread, I'm disappointed in you.

The article is now at +198. Wow, never expected to get this far. I've reached out to others to consider checking out the history of the article and see what it had. Forget the ban, I know the staff doesn't give a damn about me anymore. This is bigger than that. We can get it taken down. Here's to +150.

+187 now

The community moral bandwagon has hitched itself on and it is just a question now of if this article will be gang-piled until deletion or prophylactically taken down by staff due to the outrage to save face.

I’m willing to dismiss the chance that our usual-suspect, political opportunists are virtue signaling on it because it’s now a current event and only now a scandal; and instead accept that the majority of new commenters have never been aware of this article before this. Even granting this, there were at more than 250 people on the wiki who knew about this and liked it... probably due to the problem of author brand and pseudo-cult reverence.

All I have to say in that case is; where the hell have you people been? This is common knowledge anywhere but your hidie hole for half a decade. Goes to show how less aware SCP is of itself than those on the outside looking in.

Again, this is a big victory, for everyone.

They may also lock voting and cry brigading. You know even though there's at max like ten of us discussing SCP here.

Pour one out for all the homies, etc. 186.

This is technically downvote brigading according to their terms, and has been stopped in the past.

Sure, but their terms are whatever they want them to be and tend to change on a dime.

 

[shnoopsis]

The main thing is, is that I contacted several other authors to consider looking at the article, and besides the fact that my own disciplinary thread got people to look at it, I doubt they'd lock it given so many popular authors are now discussing it in the comments of the article itself. They know for a fact that this is going to blow up in their faces if they try to shut it down. People like kaktus, Flop, all want it taken down, or so it seems. Ultimately the easiest choice is to simply delete it. A lot less tedious, I think.

Good thing people like Kaktus, S D Locke, and Ihp downvoted it. Now staff have their hands tied. I mean what are they supposed to do? Treat their upper class the same as everyone else?

The staff 05 lingo is its own dialect and is a naturally occurring instance of Doublespeak vocabulary cropping up in the wild. I always called it “Staff-talk” in my head

Don't forget, you can observe the history of the tale's reception, changes, and vote history here:

A couple things from a deep dive:

The renewed activity was absolutely due to our friend here's comment, and their "vandalism" . This was not the first time a random somebody tried to take the initiative and modify this totem to pedophilia. The same thing happened in 2016, a user by the name Doctor Omnicrom vandalized it, writing:

Made it less creepy, no offense intended, just think it would be better without the underaged bit

Staff reverted due to their long-standing principle of author sovereignty, and made a disciplinary thread for him, but only with a 24 hour ban for it (and a worse response to it than our friend here, this dude advocated for a 2nd bubonic plauge): archive

Keep in mind this was before Bright tidied it up. It's actually less repugnant in its current state. The original version can be seen here. The original version wasn't just a line about nubile kid breasts, half of the tale was about it. At the end, the Oval Office calls to see the kid's tits. The author, in a stunning move of autobiographical insight, asks himself:

How can he be like that, at a time like this? Well, it's him.

Due to "criticism", Bright heavily modified the article in 2018. This had nothing to do with a moral revelation, just a new generation of users calling it out for what it was instead of looking the other way. (The comment section is very revealing and has been reproduced crudely here [archive]) The new version replaced the little girl with Hugh Jackman, the glancing at kid boobs with his huge schlong.

Our friend here then ressurected the old version, adding this to the article's text itself:

Look at it. Stare it down. 10 years ago he posted this... thing here. Nobody said a word. Someone else had to clean it up, someone had to fix their mistake. Admins have seen it. Commented on it. Nobody did anything beyond cover it up. A site Admin posted this. One of the original contributors to the site, posted this fucking nonsense. Do you realize whn browses this site? Do you recognize the fact that it's children who make up the majority of this community? You're going to revert this edit, stow it away in some secret fucking corner. I'm not saying this because of some shitty fucking theory.

I'm saying this because you already did.

I'm still here. If I ever take back a goddamn word I said about this blatant fucking pedophilia, fucking staining this community, then I am a liar and a fool. This is unacceptable. I hope and pray you do something about this. I don't care that bastard retired. Get it off of the site. Don't stow it away, I want it gone. This isn't an appeal to you as a reader, not to some abstract entity, this is an appeal to you moral fucking decency.

Sincerely,

Based.

This far from all there is to discover here, but I'll be back later today for part 2.

In hindsight, it was pretty dramatic. It looks kinda silly to me now. Either or, it got them to look at it.

 

[Soda Can]

The issue I ran into is once a certain collection of users have decided that the idea isn't going to fly, the games over.
Handful of years ago Bright did some contest where everyone was invited to offer a two sentence idea for an article and one person could claim that idea, giving them exclusive rights to submit a story around it. Someone suggested a tampon that slowly and painfully dissolved the person using it. Gross, but intriguing idea, particularly from the perspective of a fucking horror story. Someone called him on his offensive idea and got a month ban.

This sparked a discussion in IRC about how an idea being offensive shouldn't preclude it from being written. Particularly so when, again, fucking horror. I think the top spin was to make it a super abrasive cloth and then some sociopath fuckhead started making hand rolled tampons out of the shit. Everyone involved was basically told that the one nobody who objected to the original idea had decided it was offensive, so the entire thing is now tainted fruit, fuck your discussion.

That's not dramatic bruh, that's revealing. Interesting at least.

Edit: I'm sure RPC welcomes you and that promising article of yours.
