I know I have logs of the sentiment with Magnus in 67 at least, somewhere in there. He was openly musing about it on multiple occasions talking about how “technically “ setting up the next-generation site would be made if we won the RU case so the response to appropriation would be muted. I’ll keep my eye out, it’s in there I will find it.
You know, I'm kind of curious. Do you know anything more about the other site members? Considering you were one of the most infamous contributors and all that.
Oh, plenty. Ask me anything, I had tentacles everywhere.
Thank you, as a starter, do you have any recollection of any drama prior or post "LGBT" SCP? As in, before and/or after the Pride Month inclusion to the site. As an optional question, were there any specific SCPs you disliked?
The Aelanna Crisis, Scantron/CWW, all petty and personality driven stuff. A lot of it is in 05command.WikiDot.com where the staff site is. After LGBTSCP staff became much more authoritarian and reactionary. I don’t like Von Pincier’s stuff, especially the hateful star which I was not sorry to see go. I also really don’t like the “That Bitch” -J SCP and the ss know it’s both unfunny and misogynistic but they’ll act like they are powerless to do anything, which is always what they do when it’s time to do real work.
In a writing project there shouldn't have been any rules other than write well or go fuck yourself. Not turn the place into some kind of asylum for broke brain retards.
If you are talking about the ss only, accurate. Otherwise way too broad a generalization for millions of people who engaged over a decade of time.
Well obviously there's no way to stop people from gathering together but it should never have been official and shouldn't have been going on under the same roof as the project. Even that way you still inevitably end up with idiotic cliques and drama but at least it wouldn't (immediately) harm the project.
Hell yeah fuck hierarchy all my homies hate hierarchy
The last three Series have all been kinda similar. Series 3 was when people developed the general style that most articles follow now, Series 4 was when they refined it, and since then it's mostly just been more of the same. I guess it's cool if you like that kinda thing.
Tbf, it was pretty autistic to begin with, but a manageable, entertaining variant. Now it's completely bended the knee to DeviantArt-tier OC self-inserts by 'authors' that use the site as their personal fetish diary.
You see that's the problem that a lot of former SCP members have that you and SCP staff seem to ignore. It's obvious staff wants to create a certain culture in the SCP community and at some point that became more important than fostering creativity. Maybe the reason so many SCP members were vocal about the June 2018 Pride banner is that they felt pressured to constantly ensure their writings would withstand an ambiguous and arbitrary standard set by staff. Conversely, staff would secretly fume in their private chats how legacy articles are somehow transphobic or misogynistic or a some other combination of retarded adjectives, which only further distanced them from the roots of the site.
Well that’s just objectively wrong. It’s pretty clear you have been going by preconceived notions than actual experience because you’re just repeating stuff other wrong people have said.
You are giving them far too much credit, and “That Bitch” is just uniquely bad.
And worse, they go back and retroactively remove popular articles because they're not in the woke realm they want to appeal to now. There's been a consistent process of homogenizing and sanitizing everything so that as time goes on, it approaches having absolutely none of the qualities that the originators of the concept would even recognize.
I don’t think that happens... what are old articles that were edited by ss editorial? 049 and the doorknob were both Kaktus and not the ss.
Honestly, I still hate the fact that they replaced the original image for SCP-682. It may be minor, but it was one of the most well known images connected to SCP as a whole.
