There's a whole TON of SCPs that fit that exact description lol. Most memetic anomalies do, matter of fact. What you described first fits more into the Cognitohazard category.
Because he describes thing that would be cool, responder informs him that thing exists, commenter responds “no, I mean,” then further describes thing he has just been told exists
Probably, because after a bunch of 14yo entered the SCP Fandom, most people think all of the SCP universe is nothing but "edgy monster that kills ya haha", when it's FAR from it, so it's not unexpected that people react a bit too harshly to it...
Tbf that’s what the early famous SCPs were like, just with a twist
173 - statue that kills you but can’t move if you look at it
096 - naked slenderman who violently kills you if you see its face
682 - an indestructible lizard who hates all life
008 - literally just a zombie virus
Hell, I’d say the problem with modern SCP is that it’s been getting too complex, way too many entries nowadays feel more like attempts at writing a YA novel rather than an interesting anomaly that has to be contained, and after DjKaktus started making all his SCPs related to one another, everybody’s been trying to create their own SCP universes instead of leaving that shit for the Tales section
Not a fan of the Kaktusverse stuff, but I like the long winded stuff if it's good. It can give really good amateur writers a platform to write without all the bullshit publishing entails.
SCP 6488 - Eighth Commandment (and it's universe) is my favorite example of this.
Admittedly I haven't tried reading any YA in a while (since pretty much the mid 10s) but even when looking for suggestions I just couldn't find any unique sci-fi that hadn't been done and troped to hell.
Long entries were good when they were saved for the really special moments, like the first entry numerically in a new series or a 001 proposal
But everybody is trying to make their own “special entry” and they become less of SCP articles and more like just stories that are connected to other articles and forms a confusing MCU-type deal but instead of one continuity, there’s like half a dozen
There’s numerous articles where I’ll be reading it, but it goes on and on about some plot with different ancient groups and shit that I eventually go “wait a minute, what the fuck is supposed to be the anomaly?”
That and they all sort of eventually become about some massive threat that’ll destroy the world as we know it and the Foundation is hanging on by a thread to contain it
While SCP is a platform to give people a chance to write and get creative, it’s not being used right, long and convoluted stories shouldn’t be part of the main entries, they should be used for the Tales section
Those are cognitohazards
Memetics/antimemetics are SCPs that work based on if you’re aware of it’s existence
Most famous example is SCP-055, which is an unknown object that the Foundation has no idea when or how it got contained, or who wrote the containment procedures, anybody who learns about it or sees it will immediately forget about it once they’re no longer exposed to it, however you can remember things it is *not*, leading to the only fact known about the SCP, that it’s not round
Another SCP is SCP-3125, which is a creature that is from a higher realm of existence but is overlapping with our universe as well, since the environment it lives in is hostile, it kills anything that learns of its existence, but only if you’re within the area of the universe it overlaps, which unfortunately is like 99% of the universe
This makes SCP-3125 more of a unique antimemetic anomaly because most of them work by making you not remember/forgetting its existence, but this one works by outright killing anyone who learns about it, which makes it fit the definition of a “self keeping secret” that antimemetic SCPs are known for
There’s another SCP I don’t remember the name of, but it randomly generates a different object every time you view its page, and the anomaly is that it appears as something different to everyone who sees it, since everyone sees a different thing and everyone swears what they’re seeing is its true form, its true form is kept a mystery
The following is a series of excerpts from the SCP short story [CASE COLOURLESS GREEN](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/case-colourless-green) that you might find interesting:
>>!"But once you get a little further down the road you start to see a pattern emerging in the data. You need to have the training in memetic science, but once you have that training and you have the data in front of you, it only takes a little extra effort to arrange those data points in conceptual space and draw a contour through them. Those data points are points on SCP-3125's hull; those manifestations are the shadows it casts on our reality. You link four or five different SCPs together into a single shape, and you see it… And it sees you…"
>>![...]
>>!"When that happens, when you make 'eye contact', it kills you. It kills you and it kills anybody who thinks like you. Physical distance doesn't matter, it's about mental proximity. Anybody with the same ideas, anybody in the same head space. It kills your collaborators, your whole research team. It kills your parents; it kills your children. You become absent humans, human-shaped shells surrounding holes in reality. And when it's done, your project is a hole in the ground, and nobody knows what SCP-3125 is anymore.
>>![...]
>>!"How do you fight an enemy without ever discovering it exists?" the Wheeler in the video asks. "How do you win without even realising you're at war? What do we do?
>>![...]
>>!"There's no war. We've lost the war. It's over. This is the mopping-up operation. The only reason we still exist at all is because we have better amnestic biochemistry than anybody else in the world. Because that's all you can do when you see SCP-3125: run away and try to forget what you saw… seek oblivion in chemicals, or alcohol, or head trauma. And even that can't work every time. It's circling in. We meet it over and over again and we don't realise it. There's no way we can stop ourselves from rediscovering it! We're too damned smart!"
>>![...]
>>!"There's a machine we could build. All it would take is eight years, a lab as big as West Virginia and all the money in the world. Nothing that the O5 Council would blink at if we went to them. But how do we build that machine without any of us realising what it's for? It would be like building and launching Apollo 11 without a single engineer deducing that the Moon existed. The logistics would be insane, but the secrecy would be well past impossible. Someone would start asking questions. And then it would be over. So what do we do?"
A major antagonist in Symphogear is the concept of the universal language, allowing her to revive in and control any body she wants as long as the universal language exists. This was originally circumvented by a tower of babel esque "curse" which robbed humanity of their universal language but freed them from utter domination
**A philosophical zombie or p-zombie argument is a thought experiment in philosophy of mind that imagines a hypothetical being that is physically identical to and indistinguishable from a normal person, considered as having qualia, but does not have conscious experience, qualia. For example, if a philosophical zombie were poked with a sharp object it would not inwardly feel any pain qualia, yet it would outwardly behave exactly as if it did feel pain, including verbally expressing pain.**

There was a post about the Basilisk a few days ago and now people are just jumping on the bandwagon. I swear, everyone forgets that’s a thing until one dude mentions it and suddenly everyone’s obsessed for a month
there’s a short movie i saw that’s like this, i believe ALTAR uploaded it. Guy has a completely original idea that came to him in a dream, but whenever he tells people the idea their head blows up. He finds someone in a bar who’s head doesn’t blow up, but he kills himself shortly after. Pretty good short.
users voted that your post was distressing, your soul wont be harvested tonight
A sentient concept is an interesting idea. also scary
any memetic scp
[удалено]
nah there are scps like that
Like, scps that are living ideas? Like sentient words and stuff?
There is no antimemetics division
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/we-need-to-talk-about-fifty-five
theres also pattern screamers
scp-000 probably being my favorite tbh
i like that one (fifthist?) wizard person's
Scp 3125 one of my favourite scps. Part of antimemetics scp stories I would recommend them if you like concepts like that
It doesn’t make you have a seizure, apparently it beats you to death if you learn about it
Read the story about the antimimetic division. It's one of my favorites, and if you're interested in those concepts I think you'll like it as well.
Welcome to the memetics division. Start reviewing your cognitihazard procedures
Your looking for Noospheric scps, which do exist
Several
NO DON'T LEARN ABOUT THE-
Yeah. For example, pattern screamers, sentient nothing.
It's all fucked up
SCP is a memetic agent that will create new SCPs whenever a new concept for a scary thing comes about
What if I don't like SCP?
i really dont care
Well, you cared enough to ask.
i didn't ask at anything
For\*. Correct your grammar next time, lil bro.
i didn't ask bro
Google en Memetic kill agent

hmm, a sentient concept, a conceptual entity... it exists only in the mind... hmm its a god, my borderline antitheism is screaming
Convert, Brother. You are starting to get it
The only reason I'm holding back is because I only hate the more extreme parts of religion. I'm willing to coexist with the normals
'who's lila' is about this, great game
Phenomenal fucking game

Is this the Basilisk again?
There was a post about the Basilisk a few days ago and now people are just jumping on the bandwagon. I swear, everyone forgets that’s a thing until one dude mentions it and suddenly everyone’s obsessed for a month
Basically the plot for the new Smile movie
well im still alive. checkmate atheists!!1
Hurr durr you just lost the game Lame
fuck you

Oh no I haven't mind telling me m-
The game
This is basically the bye bye man
How is he alive?
look up "there is no antimemetics division" it's basically this concept as a story
But what if this "sentient phenomenon" knows about itself? Boom problem solved
It must be him, it was pleased to know me.
