User blog comment:DoctorBleed/The Current state of the SCP Wiki/@comment-10502460-20180618234819

As someone who joined the SCP wiki in January of last year, was active for three or four months followed by a year of lurking in both the main wiki and their staff wiki at O5 Command, I can confirm that they brought this current backlash entirely, 100 percent on themselves.

The lower ranking staff are generally alright from my experience (they have four staff levels and buttload of staff), but the highest-ranking ones right now who are active, the ones consisting of all the militant LGBT folks, are straight bullies, cowards, and hypocrites almost to a person (the only notable exception I can think of off the top of my head is Zyn, who has somehow managed to be one of their most active if not the most active admin there without directly making herself a part of the safe space crusade, and even she is at least a coward for not calling out her peers in O5 Command).

I already knew shortly after I joined more than a year ago that a civil war was going to break out in the SCP community. Or rather, I was hoping for it, because it was better than thinking people were going to indefinitely tolerate the admin's behavior, and I was honestly relieved last night when I found out I was far from the only one disgusted with them.

Being a social conservative myself, I already knew I woudln't be welcome there if I didn't keep my views to myself which, by the way, I was perfectly willing to do. But now they've made it official: my kind aren't welcome there, so goodbye to them, and thanks for nothing.

This in no way started with the SCP raindbow seal. If anything the signs that things were going to come to a head started over a year ago when they put a pronoun bot in their chat and started banning anyone who so much as criticized the decision to put it there.

And Zarinaa, respectfully, we are not blowing anything out of proportion. Having lurked around O5 Command and read over their disciplinary records myself, I can confirm that it is standard practice for admins to deliberately bait someone into voicing disagreement with them only to ban them for it. This was especially true in their chat, which is run by two militant homosexual admins named DeadlyMoose and LilyFlower.

Basically, here's how it works:

The admin on duty in chat (sometimes on a wiki forum as well) is really itching to shove their politics down someone's throat today, so they ask a loaded but open-ended question that they know at least one new user who isn't experienced enough with the site to know what they are getting themselves into will respond to in a way that voices disagreement with the LGBT agenda.

The admin at first pretends to be interested in hearing them out and strings them along with questions like "Really, that's interesting, could you please elaborate?"

Shortly afterward, the new user says something the admin considered ban-worthy. The admin says something along the lines of "well I was willing to be reasonable and hear you out, but you went too far with your hatred and bigotry when you brought in the 'kids need a mom and a dad' argument. Banned from chat for a day.  I hope you've learned your lesson.  You're free to be a hateful bigot at home but once you bring your vitriol on to chat it's a ban."

I am not exaggerating one bit. And to reiterate, this is absolutely standard fair on SCP. It used to be somewhat contained to their chat, but now it's clear that they've finished cracking down on dissent on the wiki as well. Contrary to what most of the top admins would have you believe, there is absolutely no phenomenon of people on SCP bullying gay and trans individuals, calling them faggot and telling them to kill themselves, etc. In fact, it's not even a matter of conservatives like me simply voicing their opinions, because we all decided to put up or shut up long ago. No, what's happening in virtually every single case is admins going as far out of their way as possible to shove their politics down people's throats and basically daring anyone brave enough to disagree with them to come forward, which by the way sometimes includes queer folk who don't appreciate they way the admins always claim to speak for them, and then banning them for it.

And you know what? Despite knowing all this, despite knowing the admins hated not just my politics but me personally if they ever found out, I willing to give them a chance. I saw what was going on in their main chat, and I just said "fine, then I won't use their chat". I saw the Rainbow SCP logo and I thought "well, that's cancerous as fuck, but I'll just not visit SCP for the next month." And I was willing to treat the admins with human respect no matter what their sexual identity or politics. But in the past few days they've made it clear that I am absolutely not welcome there anymore if I ever was to begin with, so bye Felicia.

Meanwhile, I just found out last night that someone created an SJW-free clone of SCP. It probably will never get even half as popular, but I'll be putting all my SCP stories on there:
