I blame Dr. Bright personally, for that and for being a gargantuan sex pest.
You’ve misspelled “orangutan.”

inb4 there's an SCP that does exactly that.After posting in here I decided to go and look at some of the new series’ SCPs and honestly? More of the same garbage as the last few years but almost no redeemable ones. There’s been an absolute overwhelming of the “format screw” format that it might as well be the new “standard” and the old “case file” format is the format screw. It’s very tiresome.
Isn't that just the plot of Ghostbusters?what if anomalies were treated the same as vermin and people hired out smaller companies to do what the foundation does
since everything would be weighed by cost, they would destroy the ones that would be too wasteful to contain (or charge a fee for wasting their time on something really insignificant and fucking off) and pay a third party for a space in a containment facility for those that are impossible or too expensive to destroy
i dont think anyone has explored this idea apart from generic "corporations bad" shit
yeah but the ghosts in new york stopped appearing after they killed whatshisname and the ghostbusters themselves were really crummyIsn't that just the plot of Ghostbusters?
Just had a thought about a potential “Foundation is making things worse” angle that I don’t think has been touched on before. What if the Foundation is directly contributing to a rise in anomalous phenomena by locking up dangerous anomalies, because in doing so they create a power vacuum that lesser anomalies are rapidly evolving to exploit? Lesser anomalies previously kept in check by the local “alpha” anomaly (either through direct predation or being outcompeted for resources) can now run wild.
This could work as a nice logical explanation for how the fuck the world hadn’t exploded in the millennia of human history before the Foundation existed: it was a complex anomalous ecosystem that more or less kept itself balanced until the Foundation started locking things up.
imagine hundreds of ghostbusters across the world but actually wanting a good reputation and having standards
granted, it's not as interesting as a shadow organization fighting monsters secretly but still
a GoI is either (a) another UN-funded organization (b) another government department with an acronym (c) a cult or (d) an evil corporationThat's the point of GOI's, groups like the GOC (the Foundations only legitimate challenger) the UIU (really should be a x-files cross over) and GrU-P are doing just that and are failing either through lack of experience and occasionally getting lucky or lack of funds, I mean there is a few storeys I like from minor GOI's interacting with the foundation -
I think some continuities indicate that the Foundation was formed from the merger of multiple smaller groups dedicated to researching and controlling anomalies, and I also wager that the pre-Foundation era was a combination of destroying dangerous anomalies and containing what cannot be destroyed, since I doubt the Coalition just decided to start blowing shit up for fun. If anything, the one boon of the Foundation is that it helped unify those groups into a coherent purpose, since it's likely a lot of the proto-Foundations were either under equipped or too zealous to properly handle a lot of the things contained. Wouldn't surprise me if the old solution to anomalies was to try destroying it as witchcraft for much of the world.Just had a thought about a potential “Foundation is making things worse” angle that I don’t think has been touched on before.

Suppose the Foundation is evil (well more evil anyway) and simply wants a monopoly on the SCPs it can contain and exploit, and only kills the ones that are useless or powerful and aggressive enough to be dangerous to the Foundation or existence itself. Pretty sure someone has written more than one of these already, not sure if any of them are good though.Wouldn't surprise me if the old solution to anomalies was to try destroying it as witchcraft for much of the world.
SCP-5000 wasn't great with the snarky commentary in the apocalyptic log, but the main story of the Foundation using its various objects as part of an extermination campaign against humanity is an interesting idea.Suppose the Foundation is evil (well more evil anyway) and simply wants a monopoly on the SCPs it can contain and exploit, and only kills the ones that are useless or powerful and aggressive enough to be dangerous to the Foundation or existence itself.

That was Site-13, SCP-1730. One of the better longform story SCPs for sure, I can recommend it. Written by gigantic faggot djkaktus, the hbomberguy of SCP.I like it and I think there has been a few story's exploring it, One of them was I think about "Site 53" where the foundation decided to kill or destroy anomalies and made things worse by creating worse horrors as a mistake and allowing for the breakdown of other stable situations that where kept in check unbeknownst to the foundation.
the SCP Foundation has an entire alternate universe setting on the site called "Broken Masquerade" which is basically this; a world where the anomalous became public knowledge due to the Foundation screwing up, and now the Foundation has to deal with it and the anomalies it contains going public.i'm autistic but i want to see how things would look like culturally and economically if ghosts and physics-defying buildings were accepted as everyday
Other than that, the closest example I can think of is the video game Beautiful Light:
"Pop culture and video game references don't work when done straight. Just as with main series SCPs about mythology or folklore, it generally won't work unless you add a healthy dose of Foundation-flavored twist to it. Evangelions and portal guns simply won't cut it."I have found another gem of cringe.
Behold,
A Minecraft SCP
They made a fucking prison out of iron blocks and it's just really painful to read.
