If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a wiki (yes, a wiki) about a secret organization that contains anomalous objects known as SCPs. Oftentimes, however, they do these tests through rather unethical means like using “D-Class personnel” (death row inmates) as disposable testing subjects, many of which die even if they survive the test with the SCP. Yeeeahh, the Foundation is morally grey at best. There’s also Groups of Interests that the Foundation may be allies with, enemies with, or just neutral, the most notable include:

The Chaos Insurgency - Initially made as like the evil counterpart of the Foundation, maybe. They contain anomalies just like them, except they use them as weapons instead. They do frequent raids on Foundation sites and often get said D-Class personnel to join their side.

The Global Occult Coalition - An organization created by the United Nations that seeks to simply destroy every anomalous entity out there. That’s right, they’re not trying to just contain and study them, they want to obliterate them from existence. This, of course, can cause conflict with the Foundation, though I do not believe they are full-on enemies like the Chaos Insurgency.

The Serpent’s Hand - From my understanding, these guys oppose the Foundation but they want the anomalies to be free entirely, they consider the Foundation to be “jailors”. However, they are far more opposed to the GOC. They are a leaderless guerilla organization and have even been compared to anarchists.

So, basically, what are yall’s thoughts on the SCP lore? Which group that I have or have not mentioned do you think would be the most based?

    I really like it, i don’t visit the wiki often but I listen to the Volgun and Exploring Series on youtube, you could say that the articles have some propagandistic stuff, like not questioning authority, not questioning why the foundation even keeps the existence of various SCPs a secret when normalizing their existence would save lives because people would know what to do in case of a breach, articles in general also refuse to tackle the politics of the foundation in relation with different countries, etc.

    I would love to make another cannon (considering the amount of liberty the author have i’m guessing it’s possible but i’m not a writer) where the Foundation has their secrets and the huge number of crimes against humanity they commit on a daily basis exposed would be cool, a sort of Nuremberg trial for each and every article and how it would change their special containment procedures, maybe by having the O-5 council become socialist or something there could be a socialist version of a lot of the articles that feature crimes against humanity and explore more in depth the grey areas that too often default into the common ethics of the foundation because they are too established
