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

[Nappy]

Not to be a jerk or anything, since it's at least partly my fault the thread has gone this way, but people so far seem to be a lot more likely to talk about shit they actually liked about SCP than contributing cringe. You'll probably have to do that yourself, and you'd almost have to have been personally involved in the inner circle, since they were actually pretty good about separating dumb internal drama from the material they produced.

I'm sure there had to have been autistic interpersonal drama that would be funny in any community that would have produced this stuff, but I'm unaware of most of it and really welcome to hear about it. There was clearly a semi-autistic cult environment going on there, somewhat paralleling the fictional world they were developing, but I personally know nearly nothing about that. I'd like to know more, but I don't.

Also balls noted for telling @Null to go fuck himself. Lol.

Yeah I apologize, I was sperging out a bit too much.

I do want to give kudos to the SCP staff for at least being decent at regulating the sites content, but I feel a lot of the staff has too much free reign to self-insert.

That being said, there was a Navajo skinwalker one I read that I really liked.

Abel reads like a 15-year olds first OC and I really don't understand why it got to stay around even after they purged the most blatantly mary-sue characters on the site

IIRC, the idea was that Abel was supposed to be the most OP thing they allowed on the site, and it was seen more as an example of what not to do than anything else.

Of course, that excuses nothing, but all things considered it's slightly less terrible than the alternative.

My favourite SCP is To End All Wars.

Tbh, interpersonnel drama and petty people taking things way too seriously on forums and shit happens all the time.

Yeah, it basically got grandfathered in and touted as a cautionary tale, though probably not very effectively.

I think at some point they tried to rewrite the canon involving him being on the badass soldier team to have him go crazy and murder people randomly, so they locked him in his shell and buried it at the bottom of the ocean or on the moon or something. That at least felt a little bit honest because it was trying to put an ending on that story that admitted "we fucked up, these powerful monsters are better only when we write them to be unstable and impossible to use practically", as well as being essentially an in-universe cautionary tale about why the foundation doesn't get to have those things anymore. Of course, I don't know if they ever developed that story into shit further down the road.

I remember, years ago, there was drama over a SCP that was basically some guy's pedo fap material. It was a monster that raped children, and the article mostly consisted of lengthy descriptions of the rape. There was a huge debate over whether or not the article should be deleted.

Yeah, but it's more on topic here than me sperging about the SCPs I actually like.

 

[Cosmos]

A few months ago I started binge-reading SCP pages, and if I read one I really liked I would often go to the discussion page to see what other people were saying about it. A lot of the commentary was good, but I remember rolling my eyes at least once on every page. It was just because some people were so incredibly pretentious and up themselves, and they seemed to be taking the website way too seriously. I admire how stringent the SCP Foundation is about quality control, but I can't help but feel like it's bred a culture of elitism and pretentiousness among the users.

 

[AnOminous]

I'm going to suggest that unless some more drama like that Roxie stuff comes up, we should just move this to Multimedia and sperg at will about SCPs we like.

In deference to @Villager of Death I'll make this my last totally OT point: my favourite skip is Cassy ( http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-085 )

She's sweet, she's harmless, she only exists because of a Foundation experiment, and the life they give her because 'SCPs must be contained' is so sad. Yeah, it's absolute feelsbait, but it works. Poor Cassy.

Re spergy things on the site:

- The wave of hatred that is directed at a bunch of the AWCY? skips when it is totally apparent that the irl artworks/artists being referenced have sailed totally over the head of most of the people posting 'discussions' about it. Case in point: the shark.

- The lengthy spergatribes about 'no vote'. It's not ArbComm, get a fucking hold of yourself. You like it, or you don't. Stop being so fucking self important about an amateur 2spoopy scifi collab writing project. Some of these guys must be SO FUN to have on your college project team.

- Downvotes that are explained as "BUT MUH HEADCANON" Well babe, some people have different headcanons to yours. That's what's fun about collab writing. If it's not fun to you, step away from the keyboard.

- The increasing number of people writing short stories about skips rather than actual SCP entries. The SCP project is interesting because it's no r/nosleep. If you want to write basic horror fic, go to nosleep.

I agree. There really isn't enough Cow-ery to sustain a Community Watch thread.

 

[ZeCommissar]

I remember going on the SCP foundation website a few years back when containment breach first came out. I was really surprised to see this thread made since I fell out of it and haven't looked at it in years.

 

[Unpleasant]

I used to really love reading the SCP stories. It's truly an excellent collaborative creative writing exercise. It's a shame a few autists have managed to goof up a good thing.

Still lots of enjoyable content out there, even in the higher numbers. But the new stuff is less consistent and the virtue signaling and weird groupthink is simply bizarre- some of the old SCPs, even just suggestive ones, were replaced for being horrific and whatnot. I can't remember the number I think it was 236 or 231 or something? The SCP was a lot of DATA EXPUNGED that essentially detailed without actually describing a horrible procedure to prevent the birth of the anti-Christ or something. The comments page on that one ended up being full of a lot of dumb SJW cheap, even though it was a story that was previously held in high esteem for being very good at what it set out to do.

Many of the side stories are very low quality, due to proliferation of Mary sues and just lower standards of composition.

I agree. There really isn't enough Cow-ery to sustain a Community Watch thread.

Owen and I just decided to dig up more on ProcyonLotor first, because he's fairly cow, but we had a hard time digging up much on another potential cow, salvagebar. Salavagebar has confessed to being an active member of the SRS community, but seems really good at covering their tracks.

The Roxie incident was a ridiculous "defend the troon!" Moment, but I do think it'd be for the best if I dug up some more cow stuff to justify this being in community watch. I'll have to do it later since I'm on mobile.

Here's one that's basically a fic of a pubescent sex slave who can't wear clothes because they harm her and whose nature is to entice men so hard that whatever they do isn't their fault anymore. Take that as you will.

 

[Adamska]

Oh yeah, the Montauk maneuver. Still on there shockingly, though I'm surprised it didn't go the way of the really old sue-SCPs that used to dot them since it heavily implies horrific rape to this young girl.

Speaking of those old sue-SCPs, vaguely remember them. One was essentially a Nice Guy Vampire, and the other was a fucking furry. Like actual furry. The former was killed by a suescientist and the other was put to sleep.

 

[Luigi]

It's there, but hidden. Which is why the thread will go towards "remember THIS one?" instead of people clicking the Discussion button on said entry and becoming horrified by the sperging.

The author consistently maintained "whatever you think montauk is, it's actually way worse." But come on, it's just endless violent rape. There's nothing else it can be.

I believe at some point either clef or bright wrote about being able to resist it and treat her with respect, but I can't seem to find it. Either it was deleted or it was another succubus scp.

It's not rape if no one talks about it.

Wink.

I recommend checking out this video right here that gives a condense history of the site

I think my favorite part about this community is that the inner conflict seems to mirror the themes of the fiction & is actually a bit more interesting than the fiction itself. We're talkin' missing administrator, moderator infighting, divisive ideas, best contributors leaving, left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, abuse of system features, ect. It usually takes years for a website's community to melt down like this, for them it only took a couple at most, but I guess that's just a case of the candle burning brightest.
