This is an issue with all paranormal fiction, but it's especially egregious with SCP. The Veil is unsustainable nonsense. The sheer amount of anomalous phenomena makes it logistically impossible to keep all this shit secret. I feel like all stories in this genre eventually have to lead to a Broken Masquerade, otherwise suspension of disbelief is fucked.
SCP Foundation
Sounds like you know a little too much OP. Quick, look into this light for a sec.
Amnestics and neuralizers only go so far. The scale and severity of all these apocalyptic nightmares just isn't possible to cover up.
It's more a problem of scale. When there's like not that many weird shit out there then you could keep it hidden. But when everything is a keter-class omega Gigga-Nigga threat there just isn't enough room.
Probably the reason why they've decided to do the whole many canons thing.
I do wish there were a lot less apocalyptic skips. Fucks up the stakes.

That, and it helps to not stifle creativity.
While we're here, favorite skips?
For me it's Iris, my beloved.
The problem was too many cooks and enough high quality tasters.
I despise SCP shit because it's made it practically impossible to do any genuine research on unknown phenomena without being flooded with garbage creepy pasta fanfic dross.
If something big gets out just use the big reset machine hidden in the mountain, worked last time apparently.
fpbp
impossible to do any genuine research on unknown phenomena
I strongly doubt SCP prevents you from researching bigfoot or aliens.
This guy.
SCP is not a canon; it's a series of entries and pieces of fiction that exist separately but can be cross-referenced according to the whims of a particular story.
nice alien
you’d be surprised OP.
is it me are animators trying too hard to make the foundation not as bad as they actually are? like those with self inserts who are researchers really down play the bad shit the foundation does.
also why isnt there one who picks another faction? I feel like UIU would do a better job at presenting not just the skips but also the fucked up shit the foundation has done.
Git gud scrub. You can still find the Gateway project program if you put in a little effort
I do not think Youtube would allow them to depict the darker parts of the Foundation.
The aliens in SCP are interesting.
How about a mix of My Hero Academia with SCP where both heroes and villains are treated as Monsters and Anomalies dangerous to Humans and where The Organization uses one of the emblematic Heroes simply to help them capture the strongest anomalies?

This has happened in SCP. A notable example is Mobile Task Force Alpha-9 and it consists of anomalous people. SCP-353 wants to be a super villain but the Foundation do not entertain her.
I mean the Actual Universe of My Hero Academia but if the SCP Foundation has the control and Capture, Contain and Study all of the Characters of the Anime?
In this idea I have, Deku never meets his cast of friends, nor his enemies.
He must keep his powers hidden to avoid being captured by the Organization, but in the end, they catch him after fighting his childhood friend/rival Katsuki Bakugo, whom he did know and who was causing a ruckus and unwittingly causing the deaths of several people.
There, the two are caught and taken to the depths of the Organization, where the other characters from the anime, along with the Monsters and anomalies, lie trapped in research rooms.
There are no heroes or villains for ordinary people here, only Monsters and Anomalies that, regardless of their morals or judgment, can become a danger.
This is why BPRD is great, less like SCP more like the CIA, everyone KNOWS who they are and they deal with supernatural shit, but no ons knows how deep the rabbit hole actually is.
They are.
Why is he covering his face?
He's already wearing a faceplate helmet.
Yeah.
That was the point.
What, you didn't actually think a niche collaborative writing project about a clandestine organization cataloguing abnormal objects blew up into a viral internet sensation ORGANICALLY did you?
Personally, I just don't enjoy the Foundation being depicted as straight up evil. They are ostensibly supposed to be the good guys after all.

Well this is only a problem when the number of SCPs entered the thousands and people powercreeped them from weird creatures found in the middle of nowhere to city leveling monstrosities.
power creep
That's more due to the Death Battle troglodytes getting on their bullshit. The actual articles have very little of the power wank shit.
Death to all Fifthies, and fuck the O5 Council.
Delta Green does a good job of making a believable masquerade.
In a world of smartphones and instantaneous... communication, how can the secret of the unnatural ever be kept? The answer is simple. Often, it keeps itself secret.
First, the genuinely unnatural is rare, and unnatural events that destroy more than a few human lives at a time are extremely rare.
Second, the unnatural tends to consume those that are exposed to it, removing the vector in the process.
Third, humanity is jaded and full of distrust. Science has effectively destroyed any belief in things beyond physics. “Proof” of the supernatural is met with mockery.
Finally, a handful of government agencies around the world are aware of these threats and actively suppress knowledge of them.
Taken together, these add up to the illusion of order that covers our haunted world.
I just assume that every individual canon or story only has a few of the overpowered garbage ultrawank monsters. Whats more hard to believe to me, is why there is a masquerade in the first place. If supernautral shit only appeared in like the 1900s it makes sense, but if the world is full of cryptids and magic and ancient horrors lurking around every corner and Atlantis was always real, why bother covering it up? I had this concept for an organisation in service to a 1984 dystopia that covered up the supernatural because it went against the narrative of the all-knowing government

there's no canon on which SCP are canon.
it's just a collection of fanfics by different people
each article might as well take place in it's own parallel dimension
comics and cartoons?
The problem is that the intial concept was not meant to be 1000s of objects or a new world order level scale agency. When it got past the first few 100 entries that is when the setting's scale ramped up heavily and became less believeble
In the case of Delta Green, because the remnants of ancient hidden civilizations tend to be both dangerous and still active in some way, the supernatural corruptive and destabilizing, and magic really fucking dangerous to everyone around. Not to mention the inherent disruption that would happen when the US government casually drops that aliens are real but physics isn't. A lot of the DG material indicates that A Night at the Opera are the minority of operations by the Program, with the majority being shit like "our webcrawlers detected potentially legit eldritch tome available for sale online, immediately purchased, seller put under investigation."
