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

I remember a while back during the brunt of the accusations that the site had become infested with SJWs (this was around the early 2010's) the guy who wrote Doctor Clef posted on his tumblr how tired he was of people making writing horror stories into something political

Not sure if it's still around anymore, but it was an interesting read

The only sane response to the appearance of SJWs is just immediately ban them the moment they show up. Your other choice is the utter destruction of your site.

There is a certain minor irony here if your site actually has freedom of speech as a purpose, but remember that SJWs literally absolutely abhor and detest freedom of speech, so if they cite it when they're banned, laugh at them.

Did some more digging, at some point 5 years ago ProcyonLotor was in Hawaii. May still live there.

Of course you need to. What's the point of being a good person if you don't signal it?

Isn't the whole point of the fiction that we're supposed to be reading all of this from the perspective of an office of boring bureaucrats?

The sheer autism of Dr clef's ukulele and cinnamon rolls makes me want to a-log.

I seem to remember that they retconned a lot of the dumb quirky stuff and brought it back to a more reasonable tone. If I'm remembering right, they changed Dr. Clef's official story to that he's a boring elderly researcher who's never even seen a containment breach, all the over the top stuff was a prank some younger researches added to his files to get a rise out of him, and that his only response was to check with a superior that his original research was still intact before getting back to work.

I thought that was a pretty clever way to save face in light of realizing you were being a cringy autist. They also removed a lot of the weirder elements like turning dangerous SCPs into agents and stuff like that that and brought the feel more back to a dry surreal horror world.

I don't know anything about what goes on behind the scenes there, I've never really cared, I just know the site is great reading when you're trapped somewhere with nothing better to do. It can get repetitive, but it's usually worth slogging through the junk to get to the occasional gem or clever twist on an old idea.

Also if anyone hasn't, give SCP-093 a read.

I never understood this meme.

A lot of the entries are just so unoriginal and boring. Most of the time they'll just take any old mundane object and give it some lame paranormal quality. Like a hat that makes you die if you wear it for too long or some shit

SCP-CWC: a humanoid entity that enthralls you with its autistic behavior for so long that exposed subjects end up drawing a corny webcomic to mock him, then spend the next several years on a forum mocking similar autists. Containment procedures still under review.

One of the best was the tape with Ronald Reagan being cut up in the middle of a speech.

I love SCPs stories but I hate the other spin off on it. I don't know what they're call but the stories are usually: "Go right here and you will something something. That thing will look like a penis and you get a magic hat or some shit nobody cares about".

I also liked some of the Dr. Bright ones.

I enjoy SCPs which tell a story without actually telling one, or interesting ones with expansive experimentation logs.
Some of the worst ones are the ones where it's so incredibly obvious what it 'means' or they have big philosophical tryhard monologues from some random humanoid SCP. Thing is, going past 2000, the frequency of bullcrap philosophy/2spooky4me rises drastically.

One of my favourite more recent ones is a huge hard-science-fiction article which went completely over my head and left me wondering was going on, until it turned out it was 4th-dimensional spiders and everything made sense. It's the simple things that count.

I think you're thinking ot The Holders, which is another example of a series of horror stories that went seriously out of control

The Boeing plane that may or may not be a portal to Hell and the red disc that transports people to another world where all the people are missing are also pretty damn good

 

[SP 199]

SCP-087, the stairway that keeps going down is my personal favourite due to the exploration logs and the inherent creep factor of it.

I generally avoid SCP's that have named characters in them due to the inevitable self inserting

Addendum: After Incidents 002-003 in 2014, SCP-CWC is to be denied all personal defense items and have its containment status upgraded to Euclid.

If you want to see an SJW infestation, read those logs in the op about the site's chat drama with the user Roxie. Like @True&HonestAutismo said, it is cringey as fuck. It is pretty interesting watching an obviously bpd troon blatantly manipulate a group of autists into continuously reversing bans though.

To sum it up for those of you don't want to read dozens of chatlogs filled primarily with nothing but autistic screeching for some reason, here is roxie's m.o. -

• 'Accidentally' misinterpret a slightly ambiguous statement as not just an attack on trans people, but also a clear cut attack on you personally.
• Attack that violent bigot back for troons everywhere, and continue to attack them while they try to explain that you misunderstood them.
• A chanop gets involved and tells you both to stop,which you ignore.
• You and the bigot get banned, proving that the chanops hate trannies too.
• Appeal the ban on the site's incredibly convoluted and bureaucratic appeals chat, making sure to mention that you are autistic, and a troon, and that everyone hates you and are involved in a massive conspiracy to hurt you as often as possible.
• Insist you speak for all trans people and that your response is the only response you could possibly make, and when the chanop gets confused by the ridiculous mess that is your argument, start attacking them and calling them a bigot and transphobe even if they are trans too.
• This next step is important - apologise in as dramatic a fashion possible. Really pile it on, and explain that you don't want to hit them don't want to be so angry, but don't have a choice.
• Get apologised to, and told they will do better by you in the future, but that your ban stands.
• Have the ban halved, if not cancelled entirely, by the chat's troon admin, who then admonishes the chanop who punished you.

After dozens of warnings however, it seems the admin could no longer keep his favourite pet safe, and roxie was banned for 6 months. It came back a month later to explain that it had learned that being an unbearable cunt all the time isn't cool, but the ban was not rescinded ;_;

They need one about an eerie website that if you stay on it too long it turns your hair blue, steals your artistic ability and gender, and turns you into a hideous mockery of a troon.

Oh wait, that's called tumblr.

 

[patchwork]

If we're still naming off SCPs that are entertaining/good, Bees is a good one to get a chuckle out of. The 'what if bees' lines make for good spam to annoy people or can make for some entertainment in a chatroom.

Some autism - I'm pretty sure I actually roleplayed with Dr. Bright's writer before on an IRC client. He's a pretentious asshole but I think most edgelord self-insert writers are. That was several years ago though, and most spergs grow out of that "phase" in about a year or so of dedicated writing. That type of character is always disruptive so usually when he entered the room, people were grinning and bearing with it until he spazzed out and left.

 

[nonnewtonian]

SCP-2852 is probably my favorite 3edgy5me SCP. It reads like a parody of creepypastas but is meant to be completely serious.

The sense I've always gotten from the SCP page is that it was a bunch of teens/lonelies who got really power happy in an interesting world they were the caretakers of, and the fantasy of being interesting and powerful managed to override the nagging question of "Is this actually +a good idea?". Then they matured a little and took out some of the embarrassing stuff when they realized how dumb they looked+.

I get it I guess, and I think anyone who's ever dabbled in writing does. If I was 13 and responsible for moderating a fan fiction site about supernatural stuff, I'd probably make myself an immortal shapeshifter doctor or some bullshit too. Self-insertion isn't a strange exception, it's something most writers do when they start out because whether they realize it or not, you can't understand other characters until you understand your own character. That's not limited to fan ficiton, I think half of Stephen King's protagonists are authors who bump into something horrifying.

The SCP site is almost the anti tumblr when you take it all in. They looked in on themselves, saw massive character flaws, and instead of doubling down and disowning their parents they shut up and kept writing horror stories.
