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

In hindsight, it was pretty dramatic. It looks kinda silly to me now. Either or, it got them to look at it.
Sometimes you have to be a drama queen to bring shit to attention.
To be fair, SCP aren't SJWs, they just use that mask to get away with crying their way out of any possible blame for any of the wrong they've actually committed.
That's the staff. A lot of the writers and standard users are pretty fanatical.
IT'S GONE IT'S GONE IT'S GONE

WE DID IT PEOPLE! WE GOT THE JOB DONE!
You did it, my guy.
 

I fully believe this was the last chance staff had to turn back the dark path, it was a choice and it was spurned. Sorts warned us! D8D59936-667B-4F7C-8E02-6B60B0726E63.jpeg
 
I don't think the unnecessary bureaucracy is as big of a problem as the vote culture and sexual predators, but okay.

Also, I hate the word "bureaucracy". I will never spell it correctly on my first attempt.
This was where it was changed from a group of friends working together to a hierarchy that would give power to those inside of it with the darkest impulses. I’m not saying anything was perfect before but this was the amplifier for the repeated systemic abuses because you can’t have systemic abuse without a systematized environment for it to fester in.

At least on the Farms we're fairly open about our relationship to the Dark Triad.
 
I wouldn't trust a kiwi to hold a penny for me but I get what you're saying
This forum is fun, but there's a reason why even the most dedicated members raise an eyebrow and ask if you're sure when you say you're going to register an account with a name you use in other places.
 
I won't do this again, but just to put the knives down for a second, I recently read this one and I think it is a great example of how really talented writers still exist at scp, and that you can be very detached from a flamboyantly in-your-face narrative that relies on super-saccharine, emotional prose to achieve an effective impact. The clinical tone does the work here, and this is some of the finest I've ever read.

food for thought RE: the RPC Authority
RPC has a lot of ESL writers, and while they don't always produce the best writing, they grow the most as writers and are generally very appreciative of someone's help. It's the best thing to see a competent work from someone who used to not be able to write a complete sentence.

RPC could be thought of as a training ground for writers who want to eventually write for SCP ("We'd love to have any talented writers from there come up to the Big Leagues" as Roget once put it, as would most of SCP) but that's like saying urban living is necessarily better than rural living because there is more population density in cities. I don't think that at all. RPC certainly beats them on diversity, tolerance, narrative cohesion (lore), site layout (Black Supremacy >>> Sigma-9), better and more innovative CSS themes, more engaging contests, and potential.

SCP out-performs them in writing quality, but that gap is rapidly closing as we speak. SCP is sleeping on RPC, and it will blind-side them in the same way anyone will be who is careless enough to chronically under-estimate a rival.

It doesn't help SCP that so many burned SCP writers have moved to RPC.
 
Anyone have any funny examples of the mods and popular writers acting like assholes to new writers? I Kinda need a recap because its been forever since I kept up with this stuff but I remember hearing that the mods were super unhelpful when you tried to post and article but they themselves would coldpost articles while banning new users who did the same.
 
I'm going to bring up a different issue, an issue that lasted on the wiki for 11 years. An article by AdminBright titled 'Doctor Doctor Doctor'. It contained the following segment:
For context, the article describes the author's SCP self insert 'Dr. Bright', who, through sheer bad luck following an experiment, had their consciousness imprinted on every living thing on earth.
Including underage girls.
While I don't want to be dramatic, this section contains descriptions of a 13-year-old flashing over a webcam for a grown man.


I don't think I need to clarify any further why this is disgusting. Nobody went so far as to even criticize the article for 6 goddamn years pardon a handful of people, most of which were new to the site. Staff commented or even defended the article, such as Zyn, A Random Day, etc. who did not go so far as to actually point out the fact that there was underage sexualization on the site written by one of the staff. In fact, our very own PixelatedHarmony even defended the article, quote:


One case would be Ihp, one of the largest contributors to the site, who made a joke or two under the article but otherwise said nothing, and then, suddenly, after I drew attention to the article they decided to pop up and point out how the article was disgusting and had no place on the wiki! Radio silence for years on the subject and now that it's no longer fashionable to ignore the article, they've come back around to criticize it.
People change, to be sure, but they did nothing about it for 11 years. The one who edited out the pedophilia wasn't even staff! How convenient that someone else had to clean up AdminBright's mess.

After I called attention to it, it went from +234 to +211. Here's to getting it removed.
The author needs to be exposed and investigated. I have no doubt he/she/it has CP. Probably loads of it.

So you’re saying it’s kind of like an NHL/WHA situation?

RPC has a much better layout because it’s easy to try and use the SCP Wiki as a non-power user and realize how garbage it is and how easy it would be for the ss to fix but you know they’ll still never do it.
 
As someone who’s never been on RPC (but has listened to some narrations on YouTube), the surface-level thing that bugs me is that it tries to be an SCP ripoff (or I guess a ripoff of SCP from 10 years ago) with all the same terms and concepts, just with different names. In that way, it’ll always seem directly derivative of SCP (which I guess it is).

IMO, it would do well to differentiate itself a bit without following the SCP template so closely, because then it can stand on its own instead of just being “SCP but with less shit”.
 
SCP vs. RPC:

SCP:
-has pedophilia on the site

RPC:
-does not have pedophilia on the site

I hope the RPC staff takes the above critique to heart (and in the past they have so kudos to them) but for now that's good enough for me.

Also @gangweedfan consider either going through the thread or checking for yourself. I will say, I doubt there's a huge amount of content of them being rude to newer members because that would entirely defeat the purpose of a collaborative writing wiki.

Either or, :late:.
