It's a funny April Fool's Day joke. You can tell because the punchline is 'it's pornography. look at this pornography'.

What is your favorite SCP, Null?
 
I've never read SCP. I didn't understand its appeal and I find the habit of censoring everything with black a tedious excuse for poor world building. It'd be like if in Harry Potter hearing that Voldemort used the terrible ██████████ curse which left the scar on harry's head because it █████████████████ through the power of ████████. And then JK Rowling fills in the blanks in book 7 when she has a better idea of what she's trying to do.

Every time the joke is pornography. Especially in these types of communities, I have a feeling of numbness wash over me. Any joke can grew stale with enough uses and I think it has run'ed it's course. These people need to understand it's okay to make edgy jokes on the internet

I guess the point is to encourage the reader to engage with their imagination, but I find it hacky as well. Same reason why I don't like FromSoft "lore".

scp (the way /x/ conceived it in the 2000s) didnt give a shit about world building, it was a creepypasta that was supposed to read like a leaked top secret document from some quasi governmental glowie organization describing something mysterious and leaving the creepy details to the imagination by just redacting them, sorta like the finders documents. it was kinda cool at the time because creepypastas were still seen as cool. now you have former tumblrinas writing entire fucking novels trying to establish their gay self inserts as canon characters in the "scp universe" and referencing 20 other scp works in each article even though the writing guides on the wiki explicitly discourage doing this shit, because zoomers need everything to have 2000 wiki pages worth of "lore" to consider it interesting
 
Would be pretty cool if trannies as a whole were an April fool’s joke that would go away tomorrow.
 
The problem with SCP, like with many similar things such as what eventually became creepypasta, or for another example analog horror, is that when you take what was a bunch of anonymous users coming up with creepy urban legends and turn it into a rigid ever-expanding story with rules, guidelines, etc. you inherently suck all the fun out of it. It becomes formulaic and played out. In an effort to encourage creativity you end up stifling it.

I think it's the opposite. There are no rules, be as "creative" as you want to be. That old SCP format that actually makes the project seem like an actual database of a secret organization? Pfff, forget it, we're writing gay romance novels with political commentary now, because we're ABOVE rules and guidelines.
 
The best thing to come out of SCP is There is no Antimemetics Division, I bought that book for my uncle who doesn't use the internet but loves sci-fi as a gift and he loved it.
 
People freaking out about it and forgetting what day it is today was honestly funnier than the "joke" itself. They will claim that was the goal but we all know that's AGP bullshit, just like how AGPs crossdress for Halloween and claim it's a "joke" and not just their sad fetish.

It's honestly funnier now that what was once their shitty discreet kink has now been alphabet souped and people will instantly assume they're trannies in some way or another. It's not so secret anymore and they only have themselves to blame.

Comedy is about the subversion of expectations. This is exactly what I would expect out of these fags.
 
I miss the old days of SCP. Anything getting mainstream attention usually signifies it's about to get infested with tourists who don't actually care about it. So, in a way, we can directly blame the pozzing of something that originated from fucking 4chan of all places on faggots like Markiplier, that irish guy I can't remember the name of, and others like them
