title, basically.

I mean they lost a lot of writers when they dared to represent the Pride Flag for a while, it was a whole big schiism and all. The actual SPCs and Tales don't really seem to reflect this, I read a lot of those and honestly, apart from the setting (and even then), most seem to explore things that are, genuinely, apolitical, because it's all supernatural.

    some of them are pretty based like SCP-3003 (CW: mild body horror, insects) which is literally just capitalism as an SCP

    however there's absolute cringe on the site too, like SCP-4911 which is about the "spirit of new york" that helps firefighters out on 9/11 before disappearing like a fuckin hallmark holiday special

    Also just found this super sick one, SCP-4669. It has communism, class consciousness being treated as an anomaly to suppress it, and elon musk getting yeeted, pretty dang epic

      We don't need a no-strings-attached 9/11sploitation article when the country's whole government and media apparatus has spent 17 years shoving it down our throats to justify the genocidal cash grab known as "the war on terror" and the institution of a domestic spying regime. Turn on the news if you're in the mood to have your heartstrings tugged.

      Maybe our next circlejerk can be around a bunch of flag-covered coffins, and whoever's load is biggest gets dibs on writing the article about how Jesus draped a banner labeled "le freedom of le speech" over the Eiffel Tower after the Charlie Hebdo shooting. Maybe it'll be as chintzy and shallow as this one.

      Give me a fucking break.

          lmao at the comments on that one saying "this could just as easily work as a metaphor for collectivism" or "capitalism isn't perfect but it's the best thing we have"

        IDK what counts as a "power user" over there but I see CWW in like half the comment sections, and they author a ton of SCPs themselves. They're cool

      I was about to say 3003 is unrealistic because capitalism doesn't give a shit about its subjects' health, but the author actually calls them out as demsoc amoebas in the talk page :michael-laugh:
