That would require journalists to stop talking about it. Won't happen because it brings in a lot of views and polarizes people every time.
I made a facepunch forum account just so I could say this.
I have been lurking on the SCP wiki for more days than you can imagine. I remember when they had the highest of standards and mediocrity was not accepted. But not anymore, but why? This question can be answered pretty simply, or can be answered with a in-depth explanation. I'll prefer to go with the shorter one
The first generation of the SCP administration for the wiki have left the site, and the second generation is slowly taking its place, along with the new two "der powrful" SCP classes, Thaumiel and Apollyon.
I dislike how the SCP moderators and administration have to go out of their way to prove that they accept everyone. Everyone was accepted back then, it didn't matter if you were a PoC or
LGBT. Now the SCP wiki has become a garbage safe-space for those who cant for the life of them even begin to understand how to even write.
A quick example that comes to mind is:
SCP-2721
I'll be expecting the post of "you're only saying that because your a transphobic homosexual white male pig", and I can use this against you. I'm asain, so fuck off if you were even remotely thinking of saying something along those lines. I'm not saying that SCP because its a LGBT SCP, but because its a fucking garbage piece of writing that should not be tolerated, yet it has over 60+ upvotes (most likely by gen. 2 staff). I will pick apart this if some idiot decides to defend it.
And thats not the only thing though. With the introduction of the new generation of slack-off moderators and administrators, people have been posting these weird, self insert, and overall garbage writings. I think that I'm not the only one to say that.
And so thus that brings me to my conclusion: I can battle your politics any day. You complain about people making "homophobic jokes" or "offending the LGBT community", well, how do you know if eveyrbody in that community would agree with you? Do you think you can assume everybody's stance on something? And, by creating a special logo just for the LGBT community, it shows that you cant treat them like normal people, that they cant fit in, and you have to pressure everybody to let them fit in. This is a ridiculous idea and I hope the SCP community stops on its course of destruction.
Thank you.

682 Was SUPPOSED to be something of a benchmark article, as was 076 after rewrites. 682 was supposed to be the only truly invincible monster that couldn't be killed, but then the new apolloyon class kind of ran right over that concept. 076 was supposed to be a warning against mary sue self inserts, but from what i'm hearing, that's also kind of been disregarded.
I will say that I haven't been impressed by any of the recent writing. The 049 rewrite in particular wasn't very good. Not saying the original 049 was a masterpiece of writing, but it was far more simple, which worked perfectly for what it was. It never needed long, drawn out logs or explanations, and the new writing just seems like it's trying very hard.
