They still showed more heart and effort than the Anti-GG counterparts so as much as we had false flagging, we did the better job.
I don't think he really dishes out the truths. Really, he just tends to sparkle in some facts to make the rest of his ideas seem palpable.
To throw my own worthless 2¢ into the situation, there has been a real and definite decrease in quality as SCP got more popular. Whether this is the result of a Tumblr/Reddit invasion or just a result of the entire concept becoming more popular, I dunno. But there was a time when I can jump on the wiki and spend half a day reading new SCPs, that's not the case anymore. So many of the new SCPs aren't "scientific" and are instead mediocre creepypastas disguising themselves as SCPs — it's easily to find these as they have "exploration logs" that are way too long and use things like dates, names, locations, "body cameras" etc. For me at least, the best SCPs were the machines and powerful, but containable, creatures that were creatively written. Machines like SCP-914 and SCP-261 are fascinating because they allow the author to use their imagination in an original way that isn't just to scare you. Monsters that aren't just uncontainable Lovecraftian Elder Gods that would destroy the world if you say 'bubbles' within 300 miles of them. The first and most iconic SCP, 173, can be contained by two smucks communicating properly. Keeping the quality seen in the first years of SCP would probably be an impossibility considering how popular the website has become, but it is sad to see a website I've loved and spent so much time reading lose the things that made it good. I've actually had a pretty fun time with the articles on the SCP Foundation clone RPC Authority. They remind me of the early, short but sweet SCPs so I have hopes for the continual success of the site. The outright ban on any and all political discussions and a seemingly strict vetting process for new "RPC"s as they're called will hopefully allow it to keep doing what we all want from these sites: writing good enjoyable fiction.
Huh, might spend some time reading through that site
Things like Olympia Project really annoy me. It is just so out of character for the foundation to not only fully trust some entity that was shit out by a machine that rips human souls out of their bodies but to build that same entity a super unstoppable killing machine for a body just cause.
And Able was?
As much as I dislike Able at least they give him a kill collar and didn't create him.
There are plenty of shit SCPs in the early days. Some of the most famous ones are things like 682, a mary sue lizard that even God disowns. Or how about 173 which is a Weeping Angel in everything but shitty modern art twinge.
Err, pretty sure 173 predates Weeping Angels. Also, I'd say Abel is more of a Mary Sue than the lizard, because Mary Sue is more about characterization than power level.
Weeping Angels first appeared in Blink which priemered on June 7th, 2007. SCP 173's first posting was July of 2008.
Prefer sure it existed as a 4chan copypasta a for quite a while before that.
It isn't even a new concept, its existed as mythological creatures.
talking about 173 as shit when weeping angels became increasingly stupid and nonsensical with increasingly stupid and contrived powers that not only totally ruined the character of the angels but also managed to retroactively ruin every episode they appeared in yeah
He can get carried away, but he is very good at pissing people off, and it's very amusing to watch. The way he gets Sargon all pissy makes it worth it.
I mean, it doesn't help that the majority of straight people associate LGBT with AIDS.
Eh, they're a bit mary-sueish but I've seen worse, much worse, so they aren't as high on the shitlist as they could be
A part of me thinks that, it somehow makes the POZ community even more interesting, regardless of how nasty it is. They're basically a group of people that go as far as they humanly can to be the most absolute stereotype of said group.
Aren't POZ and bug catcher different, though?
I'm not really sure? They seem like they same thing, just with different preferences.
I'd say more than a bit. They're basically just someone's animu donut steels shoehoned into SCP so people will see them.
I still like 682, just because it's fun seeing the Foundation just stuck with it. I like the reading the various far fetched attempts of the staff to get rid of it all to inevitably fail or backfire. It's like an inverse Roadrunner. I think if you consider 682 to be a mary sue, you're taking it too seriously.
That's not really what he said though.
Maybe in the 90s but I don't think that's true anymore.
And this is why we need to bring back the "optimistic" rainbow.
I know being cynical and pessimistic is really trendy these days but is there actually any evidence for that claim?
He didn't leave, he was outed as a racist donknozzle and people stopped following his content, same for king of pol and his jew comments. Contrary to popular media there was never anyone in charge of gg at any point, contrary to what the three amigos (aristoscats, K of P, yippieyapolis) wanted to happen, which is why they moved to more lucrative ground, namely media, ironically enough.
Mister Metokur: "I'm not racist, you just can't take a joke" Also Metokur: "ADINDU NUFFIN WE WUZ KANGS PISSED PEDRO ADINDU NUFFIN WE WUZ KANGS IRATE INACIO ADINDU NUFFIN WE WUZ KANGS ADINDU NUFFIN WE WUZ KANGS FURIOUS FERNANDEZ ADINDU NUFFIN WE WUZ KANGS SALTY SALVADOR"
I'm sorry, but no. The stereotype is still as strong today, even with the fact that there is actually AIDS/HIV treatments available.
Enough blockheads loudly proclaimed (mostly the same journalists who'da thunk it) it was some alt-right/harassment propaganda that people looking for that sort of thing think it is. Then there's people that believe those claims that want to endlessly and loudly fight that sort of thing, and you end up with some real nasty shit at the end of it all. But the mission statement remains the same.
The entire shitshow was hijacked by people looking to make it political to a point where it effectively became nothing more than a political shitshow and I wish people would just let it fucking die.
