I’m not sure if it’s just me but the Skip site seems to have been based on supernatural versions of UN, FBI, ISA, NATO and simmilar organizations (yeah there are some KGB or “against the system” inspired ones but they are usually portrayed as incompetent or evil).

And that’s only if you are aware of the constant prowestern propaganda, explicit and implicit. They also have managed to make very difficult for new users to create official skips for they favour old and renowned creators (some of them having enough free time to make exhausting 30 page issues every week) over anyone else thus having a higher control of this supposedly shared multiverse.

I’m asking because it could be awesome if there are enough users like you, who have wanted to share their ideas there but they didn’t succeed as expected or are getting tired of that community slowly becoming a shell of its past self, a personal opinion, or just are tired of some aspects of that community and want to be part of a “descentralised” fiction project. Anyway not everything has to be related to politics and global issues, so having a place like that could be something, besides memes, that could alleviate the ongoing pains of living with liberals.

TL,DR: Would you be part of a left “SCP” like community?

If you think there’s a better community where to post this please let me know, and I’ll remove this one.

    This is a good point I almost forgot, sometimes I feel it could be more human if only those who believe in a sacrifice for a “greater good” were the ones involved in absurd risk experiments instead of neoslaves which could be receiving a more humane or justified punishment in most cases. Besides the fact that, especially in earlier skips, D Class personnel tend to be wasted on silly and unnecessary tests.

      To be fair, SCP foundation wouldn’t be itself if it wasn’t for the necessary-evil borderline-dystopian organization it makes of itself. Like, you contain creatures that could destroy or terrorize entire humanity and can effectively affect the reality as we know it. Protocols that seem absurd, morality set aside, and clearing memory of anyone who can know too much, it’s all perfectly synthesized together. An objectively-good moral organization attempting to save humanity from anomalous specimen cannot compare as it’s an idealistic image, ever more so that SCP is a horror-oriented community.

      Also no level of writer mental gymnastic would explain a high ammount of people testing subjects and sacrificing themselves merely for some “greater good”

      Also D class people don’t have to be prisoners, they could be from anywhere which the SCP foundation could easily cover up like refugee populations, people from the global south, etc.
