Seriously there's like 8000 of them now and it's still all about shy guy, the lizard, and the plague doctor. Move on.

    Those are the only ones a lot of people know because they're the only ones a lot of people talk about because they're the only ones a lot of people know because they're the only ones a lot of people talk about &c &c

    the one SCP about the interdimensional IKEA with all the faceless clones is the most hilariously stupid one I've ever read but if it were ever made into a survival horror type video game it'd be awesome

    it'd be a little like Dead Rising or one of those recent survival/crafting type games. Could be cool

      It's a big thing right now. I believe that's where the backrooms started and there's at least one survival crafting horror game that goes with the hell Ikea directly.

    because some guy on youtube made a video about them that went viral and the content clones made the same videos and and over and over

      Dead internet content clones gradually replacing everyone would be a good SCP. One day you go outside and realize you can't find any of your irl friends that you talk to online, and over time it gets worse and worse

    Honestly, it's because they're very surface level creepy and that's why they're so prevalent

    Same thing with Slenderman, you can project onto these ideas because they're very broad and easy to grasp

    I like the jörmungandr eel that eats people and also your sense of self and memories and secretes goo that the foundation uses as memory wipe juice.

    Oh I also like the Mary Sue power ranger cyborg squad and their role in SCP-1730, that one is such a fun read.

    I'm mostly into the continuing and increasingly absurd plot around the Machine god, the Sarkics, and whatever the hell the Xia Dynasty was.

    Nostalgia I guess.

    Plus, those are teh ones people know, so you can make references to them and people will get what you're talking about. Like that thing where if everyone marches in step the bridge starts doing some kind of wave form thing that might cause it to collapse, but if everyone breaks up their pace the bridge doesn't do that. You can't collapse a cultural bridge if everyone isn't walking at the same pace.
