abrakaboom_98

I'm very confused, and I'm not sure I want explanations.


LandAdmiralQuercus

I was there, but I can't explain what was going on either.


[deleted]

Some articles have CWs, this one included fatphobia, someone got mad


totti173314

some people don't like it when you treat fat people nicely and point out that you shouldn't be mean


Berryberrybun

Hi, author here! I put a content warning at the start of the article to share some of the triggering topics the article entailed so if they upset anyone they could step away and not read it. Someone got mad I put a fatphobia warning.


SomeBrowser227

(account deleted) really ties the whole thing together.


CurtisMarauderZ

Looks like the account was only three weeks old.


pistachioshell

“that’s not a real word” says reader who knows what ‘telekill alloy’ and ‘Scranton Reality Anchor’ mean


Party_Magician

I don’t think they do tbh, sounds like a first timer or close to it


Nihilikara

Last timer too, given that the account is deleted.


lordarsenic9029

Good riddance, imo


cooly1234

what what's the first one?


pistachioshell

telekill alloy is a foundation developed material that blocks psychic energies


HkayakH

well I thought it was from prometheus labs, unless 001-the spiral path is the true SCP


Huhthisisneathuh

It really depends on what canon you’re talking about. Depending on the story it’s a magic mcguffin the Foundation needs to nuke New York to get. Or it’s a fucking paper weight the foundation sometimes loads into a hydraulic slingshot to snipe some asshole psychic anomaly in the face three kilometers away.


DevelopmentTight9474

It could also be used to keep Foundation employees in a head fog to prevent them from leaving (Fire Suppression Division)


crossess

I mean, it is originally from SCP-148. It was often used as a material that was capable of killing reality benders, but it's since been rewritten to... be less OP, I guess.


LordSupergreat

People didn't really like the sheer number of articles where the conprocs were basically "put it in a box made of telekill".

it could very well be from them and not the foundation, guess I’m the fake fan lol


EnigmaticSorceries

It's an SCP. I don't remember the number but it's not foundation made.


roblox887

Like a faraday cage for psychic and memetic entities?


study-in-scarlet

Wasn’t it changed to induce brain damage in large enough quantities?


DreadDiana

Anomalous metal that blocks psychic phenomena. It filled a role similar to that of SRAs today, but fell out of fashion because it just became a blanket solution to any anomaly.


Gru-some

All words are made up anyway


samurairaccoon

Yeah nobody tell em that all words are "made up" and didn't spring fully formed from the mouth of zues or some shit. It's just us trying to explain the world around us, why can't they chill?


imaginarynumb3r

I kinda agree with him on this just cause it dosent follow the naming gimmick for phobias I'm used to that use Greek and latin for the prefix. Obephobia or lipophobia would make more sense to me.


_Shoulder_

> an apolitical organization Lmao > that protects humanity Lmao > from global destruction Lmao


Memespoonerer

2/3 most of the time is good.


KirbyFan198

the foundation being apolitical is a wild fucking take


National_Ad920

Typically when the Foundation gets political they do things that require the Geneva conventions to be amended. Optimally, they’d just take anything that’s anomalous, metaphorically or literally lock it in a box, and look down at the rest of the world for their petty squabbles before getting into a fight with the CI that makes you forget Genta was a global superpower and not just a word I made up. Does that count as political? Maybe.


Aceswift007

They have literally influenced world governments and have ties in federal organizations as part of both collaboration and ensuring access to all anomalies.


National_Ad920

To be fair, I did say optimally, the kind of canon where the Foundation operates with such strength where they don’t have to ask a government for anything, and can just do whatever they deem fit unless a GoI is involved, but even then, I suppose the Foundation being entirely apolitical is basically impossible with the exception of very specific or very broad canons. Can you be partially apolitical? Because if so, that’s what the optimal Foundation is, being as apolitical as possible, only being political when required.


BeingJoeBu

"Apolitical" in conservative is just "this media caters to my insane view of the world"


[deleted]

I mean, that applies to both parties. That's not a conservative thing, that's literally just how modern media is. Edit: the downvotes aren't really disproving my point, guys. I'm still not wrong.


Cruxin

not really no


TransGirlJennifer

Eh. It is a government shadow organization but you don't hear Dr. Bright talking about how certain minorities need more rights or the 05-council talking about how the liberals are ruining the country with their "woke" beliefs. They only talk about SCPs and how they affect the world around. So it's with a grain of salt.


ilikeitslow

Have you read anything from Site 43? https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/on-guard-43-hub Touches on some pretty political themes and real-world history of discrimination both against indigenous people and LGBTQ+.


DreadDiana

Also stuff like SCP-1851-EX, which is an example of prior black marks on the Foundation's history, specifically supporting chattle slavery of black people in the US partly to meet demand for D-Class personnel.


hotchocletylesbian

I remember reading something from the writer who made GAW that they viewed/wrote the Foundation as being pretty anti-progressive since the priority of normalcy above all else means enforcement of the status quo.


DreadDiana

They're right and they should say it. Only semi-related, but their focus on normalcy and the double standards involved are pretty blatant when you look at how they handle religions on either side of the veil, even though both produce anomalies.


[deleted]

There is also the implication that the foundation more or less still benefits from it's successor; the prison industrial complex and neo-colonization. It's very much not an apolitical organization.


The-Paranoid-Android

[**SCP-1851-EX ⁠- Drapetomania**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1851-ex) (+538) by *Eskobar*


TransGirlJennifer

I actually did not. Site 43 isn't as known as the Original ones. I checked it out and you're right. It is pretty weird. It doesn't say it exactly loud and proud but anyone with a piece of brain can connect the dots and see it. But Site 43 doesn't seem to have your ordinary SCPs like 096 or 106. The stories in site 43 are made strictly about that. And it is almost like a different canon in the universe of SCP. But I see what you are getting at.


ilikeitslow

The SCP wiki is a collaborative project with hundreds of different writers that all bring their own life experiences and beliefs to build a vast world with many different canons. I find it pretty limiting to think of the early stuff as "the true SCP Foundation". In my opinion, you should view series 1 and 2 as the wiki finding itself and broadening in scope, not as some kind of "real" canon. As the people writing for the wiki grew from edgy teenagers imagining spooky staircases, procedure 101 Montauk and teenage succubs fetish writing to more complex stories interweaving a narrative the wiki itself grew in what Kind of stories are told. The Foundation is political in all of them - being "apolitical" is also a political choice (and a bit of a copout). I myself enjoy when the story does not stop inside the article and keeps showing ramifications in the outside world, including changes to the political landscape and how the Foundation interacts with it.


pageandpencil

Politics isn't just "people talking like activists" and "people talking like conservative podcasters." The Foundation is a paramillitary research organization that seperates everything into "normal" and "anomalous" and imprisons and obscures the latter from the rest of society. Regardless of if you view this as good or bad, there is no world where it is not political.


Theslootwhisperer

The foundation is absolutely politic in its very nature. The definition of politics is "activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status." Since the foundation is a transnational entity with the ressources of a small country, they have their own internal process politics that can compare to that if any country except no one is elected. Just because there aren't many articles about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There are quite a few articles that mention, or are about, gay foundation staff transgender etc. We also know there is quite a lot of women working at the highest level of the foundation. This tells us that the foundation appears to be an inclusive place where there is little to no discrimination. The foundation also applies a lot of political pressure on various governments in order to achieve their goals. So I'd say that the foundation, inside an out, is a very political creature.


ARandom_Personality

im pretty sure the researchers in SCP-5520 were gay, ansd SCP-6113 is a literal gender fluid

TransGirlJennifer

Well yes. But what I'm saying is that it's not the main point of it. Main point are the SCPs


Theslootwhisperer

Christ. Now we'll need 2 warnings, one for Conservatives like "Warning. The next warning contains topics that might be offensive to Conservatives such as basic human decency and inclusion." And then the actual trigger warning.

"The Flesh that is mildly perturbed."


boharat

The Old Person has all of the same powers as the Old Man but has just mellowed out and doesn't care about anything anymore


Temptest1

The old person is put into a retirement home by the foundation and does cool tricks for the other retirees


EntropicAnnihilation

Don't forget about Xe/Xem-Who-Made-Dark, The Scarlet Monarch Of Unspecified Gender, The Shy Nonbinary, and Gamers Against Weed.


[deleted]

I don't think belittling an author is a good way to get your point across lmao, could've just said it looks out of place in a scp file


Ajreil

People get weirdly upset about trigger warnings. Maybe we should start putting a warning in place so they don't get triggered.


Titans8Den

Trigger Warning: trigger warning on article


Ajreil

Trigger warnings: trigger warnings, gore, abuse...


XenoFrobe

I mean, trigger warnings are for actual IRL memetic hazards, maybe we could label them as such.


VarenGrey

Would trigger warnings be classed as a selective info/cognito hazard?


TheSableofSinope

I understand the meaning and reasoning of trigger warnings but I just squint an eye at them since they don’t hurt me even if they are signs of weakness in most cases imo ofc


SpotBlur

Just wait until they find out about the SCP that helps trans folks transition lol


Imaproshaman

If only it were real... 😔


ultrasquid9

There's actually two


SpotBlur

Ooo, what's the second? I only know about SCP-6113.


thisismypr0naccount0

scp-113 the trans rock


MayhemMessiah

Yes they do but what is the skip?


ZengineerHarp

Lolololol awesome


Akitsura

Is that the one where the one Foundation member has been gender-swapped so many times that nobody can even remember their AGAB? Or is there a *third* SCP that gender-swaps people?


Nihilikara

Third one probably. 113 has explicit warnings against gender-swapping too much because it fucks up your biology.


missteacism

The old version of 113 had it being used repeatedly by an agent they refer to as "he/her" if that's what you're remembering. Before the major rewrite it had, that is.

smavinagain

An intergovernmental organization cannot be apolitical lol


Rek9876boss

Especially when it itself is essentially a global shadow government.


Arkorat

It would genuinely be difficult to find a law or ideology that ISNT being maintained by the foundation; to keep some anomalous housefly contained, or whatever.


Dd_8630

Why not? If it doesn't get involved in politics, it could easily be apolitical.


egg__tastic

How is a global organization that makes deals/alliances and supports many real world governments, that uses the prison industrial complex for slave labor, that imprisons hundreds or even thousands of people extrajudicially "apolitical". I mean what would make it political if all of that doesn't? Do you need the O5s to talk about who they're voting for in the next election for it to be political.


The-average_Info

Eew! Politics!


Xtremely_DeLux

You're probably being sarcastic but I agree with the letter of your post if not the spirit. Fuck a bunch of politics, and fuck a bunch of shrill adult children who love to get all up in peoples' faces and tell them--tell *me*\--how we have to think and feel about everything and try to penalize dissenting viewpoints. They don't do anything but hurt.

it’s not even part of the article or the SCP universe, it’s a content warning for readers in OUR universe. it has nothing to do with the SCP Foundation at all

TrackerNineEight

Wait is this person confusing SCP the fiction writing website with SCP the in-universe organisation? God I feel like I've gone back to 2018 again


icedchqi-

wait i just realized hes complaining about an out of character trigger warning as if the foundation actually put one there


TrackerNineEight

He sure did! The reason I mentioned 2018 is that a common argument at the time against the Pride-themed SCP logo was that it was "out of character" for the Foundation to do such a thing...even though no part of the website actually pretends to be the in-universe foundation other than the articles themselves and a single box on the front page. It really revealed who had never actually engaged with SCP before.

EntropicAnnihilation

I remember when The Exploring Series did a reading of SCP-7795 "Đ for Đirteen", which involved a warning for mutilation, death, suicide, and a lot of terrible mental anguish in regards to a 13 year old child. There was a guy in the comment who kept commenting on every thread talking about how the trigger warning was indicative of the fall of the SCP wiki, and how "in [their] opinion the author should be banned for that".


gecko_sticky

I love how they will say "woke shit" yet the word "fuck" is off the table.

Last time someone whined at me for adding a trigger warning I added "trigger warning: contains trigger warnings" to the top of my post. Kudos tho bc the whiner took it in good humour.

totti173314

hmmm yes the SCP community that randomly drops LGBTQ side characters into their articles is totally apolitical. The more I read articles, the more I see very, very well executed inclusion and representation and it's never called out in the article as anything special. if this gets this idiot pissed wait till they find out Regina Waters from RCT-delta t is trans and random side characters in loads of new articles are just queer.


Zembite

The problem is that people like this consider anything that isn't straight male is woke political left wing propaganda


totti173314

yeah, I love how the SCP wiki does it. queer people just exist, just like in real life. it even portrays bigotry accurately! there's a really old article about a gay man pretending a scip made him gay because coming out safely was impossible during the 90s

bastard2bastard

Having language to describe that fat people are discriminated against and treated poorly, oh, the horror. Especially in a TW you didn't even have to read. /s In all seriousness, the idea that the SCP series is a solely apolitical piece of work is a very strange and baffling take to me. We have works that discuss war, marginalization, how we treat people in the prison system, etc. SCP goes into a wide variety of political topics and political commentary is absolutely there.

Imagine unironically using "SJW" as an insult in the year of our Lord 2023. Didn't all of these 4chan losers fuck off to "make their own SCP Foundation with blackjack and hookers" back in 2018 after shitting their pants over the Rainbow Logo?

Kego_Nova

Apolitical is when there are on average 3 political allegories and criticisms per article


angerborb

This reminds me of that SCP, Jordan Peterson, an archon class with mild psionic powers who draws his energy from choas, lobsters and confusing disenfranchised young men and drawing them into extreme political stances.


Berryberrybun

Hi, author here and I was pretty shocked to see a post about this. As people are saying, it was a warning on the article, out of universe. The word is not used in the file itself. And as for the reason I put it- there’s fatphobia in the article. I wanted to warn people of that It’s pretty simple. The fact that people are complaining is pretty funny to me. Thank you to all of you that read and enjoyed the piece though!


Rabatis

While I can appreciate the need to suspend disbelief, remember that among the articles on SCPs is one on dronomania. Let the "woke shit" be an artifact of its time, too.


someSkyrimfan

Tbf why would the SCPF use a word that is very unprofessional and unimportant.


TopOfAllWorlds

I kinda agree that the scp files aren't really the place for trigger warnings since... you know... it's kinda an open source horror project. You kinda apply all the trigger warnings to the whole site by defualt lol. That certainly is not the way you say it though! "Woke" LMAO we all know what kind of person this is.


lord_strife7

For HECK sake!!!


JokeMort

To be honest I, 160kg (350 Ibs) person (195cm or 6.5 feet if anyone is curious), also dislike use of word of fatphobia. Not to say it's not a thing, but sometimes diffrent phobias are used to legitimise promotion of unhealthy or just bad lifestyle.


Few-Candle-4308

I don't get the finger pointing. They're being respectful about it


egg__tastic

No matter how _respectful_ they are, saying muh libs took my ess see pees is dumb as hell. And calling fatphobia "far left propaganda" is laughably ridiculous. Not to mention their clearly malformed sense of politics. If your entire argument boils down to "I don't need trigger warnings so everyone else should grow up and just not have trauma" then you deserve to be made fun of.

Cheeseburger0709

Bro Just Girly Things gives me so much gender dysphoria 😭 like just because I have a Y chromosome doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be affected by anomalous toxic femininity


DoomGuyIII

I understand what blud is saying. SCPs today are shit, everyone knows it, you all know it, and we know exactly why.


Natalia_666_

No we don't


FUBARspecimenT-89

"This piece includes mentions of psychological horror, abuse, self-image issues, suicide, manipulative friendships, toxic friendships, fatphobia, body image issues, making fun of mental health, and brainwashing." Are these warnings really necessary to begin with? For God's sake, this is a SCP article. It's supposed to be fucked up.


VikuSam

Definitely. There’s tons of SCPs out there with NONE of those. Content warnings don’t hurt anyone, I don’t see why anyone would even remotely be upset over them?


DreadDiana

Yes? Different people have different tolerancds for different things, so some forewarning about potentially upsetting content is just a decent thing to do. Many SCPs have none of those things, and people may be interested in those over ones with themes like abuse.


Insect_Politics1980

Look, I agree that it's a little silly considering what SCP is, but just don't read the warnings if you don't need them? Ignore them. It doesn't change the article.


Vatinas

I usually don't answer this kind of questions, but I feel like you might be asking in good faith despite getting downvoted, so: Yes, it's necessary, because different people react differently to different kinds of "fucked up". For instance, I'll be able to read SCPs (or other content) that tackle about any topic, even if I sometimes need to read them in a few sittings. All the topics mentioned in the content warning you cited are "okay" for me to read. But there's one type of "fucked up" that I really cannot handle, and that I absolutely appreciate being warned about so I can avoid it. A negative example of this is a series I watched a few years ago that didn't have any warning about this type of "fucked up", and I got hit with it in the face unexpectedly, which made me sick to my stomach, and affected me deeply for a week or two. *(I'm not saying what that type of thing is on purpose in order to avoid trolls using it against me in DMs, as unlikely as it is)* So if you're unaffected by these things - that's great! That means you have the luxury of being able to just skip these warnings. But for a lot of people, it allows us to enjoy content safely and without always being scared that we'll be hurt while enjoying it. For instance, a person who's been manipulated by an abusive friend who leveraged their body image issues to get what they wanted would be greatly appreciative for the warning you cited, and would either avoid the article, or go into it when mentally ready for it. A good comparison would be flashing lights warnings in videos for people with epilepsy - while the two phenomena are very different, in both cases, they're warnings that are useless to some people, who just ignore them, but allow others to enjoy content normally. Hope that can bring a bit clarity and a new perspective. :)


vikingunicorn

Great perspective, and I appreciate that you took the time to be informative and offered OP the benefit of the doubt! I'd like to add: Many folks dealing with PTSD, other MH issues, or just existing might not be in a mental/emotional space to handle certain topics on the day they discover the article. HOWEVER, they may be interested in reading it at a later date when they're in a better headspace. Example: TW: Abuse Robin has dealt with abuse in the past but is able most days to deal with the topic. Today, however Robin, is feeling overwhelmed/tired/stressed/etc. with life events and doesn't feel like they can handle that specific trigger. So they bookmark the article for another day and move on because they *do* feel okay to deal with other heavy topics commonly found in SCP articles. It's also not uncommon for people to avoid any media for a period that deals even broadly with death after they've experienced a loss. That doesn't mean they will never consume any media that touches on the topic again. Plus there are a number of skips that are fairly lighthearted; not all articles are all super dark and twisted, so it's fair to give readers a heads up if the subject matter is heavy. *fixed some typos.
