The SCP Foundation - EXPLAINED

So, what is The SCP Foundation? In the most basic sense, the group’s mission statement is right there in the SCP acronym: Secure, Contain, Protect. It is the task of the Foundation to, in their own words, contain “anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena.” Things that don’t make sense. Things that don’t belong. Things that simply don’t fit in with our perception of reality, and some things that pose an existential threat to all human life. They refer to these contained anomalies as SCPs, each of which is accompanied by a number. This is a broad umbrella, as an SCP can range from benign or even actively helpful to downright apocalyptic if ever released.

Much like the infamous “Men In Black” often reported by witnesses in connection with alien sightings, the Foundation works in secret to maintain a sense of normalcy at all costs – knowing the chaos it would cause if any of the anomalies they’re harbouring ever became public.

A moment of silence for the people who are inevitably going to watch this and think the SCP foundation is a real thing that actually exists in our world

[MrSad-dxty]

“If their existence ever became public”

Yeah I’m glad it’s still a secret

I'm not a big horror guy, but I really gotta hand it to the SCP. This isn't some random story a teenager came up with one night. Its comprised of THOUSANDS of extremely detailed stories that use a lot of the time real world horrors. Its extremely complex, while fake (obviously) is a fantastic story telling component of human and extera-terrestiall fears. You could spend hundreds of hours and barley scratch the suffurace of all the SCP's. That community has done a great job seriously.

Massachusetts has got to be the strangest SCP I've ever heard of, especially from the Author's point of view, like, everyone else is creatibg cosmic beings or some creatures who are strangely effected by the world, or maybe an object with unusual effects, but some guy just decided "You know what, Massachusetts is actually empty, everyone who says they live there just *think* they live there-"

“The scp foundation is fake”
*Well that’s exactly what someone in the foundation would say*

[treykinggaming]

People: Scp is not real

Scp Workers: Boys we got them

[feraldelight]

The imagination of whom ever created this organization is incredible. Would make a fun movie!

[jonathancramer]

A coworker of mine was telling me about this and it seems really really fascinating seems like I'm about to dive into some incredibly vast lore

[toastghost]

"Oh, please, SCP isnt real."
_sounds like something an SCP worker would say_

[thomasbowstaff]

"The SCP Foundation is fake"
Well thats what the foundation WANTS you to think

[martdarts]

I'm both glad and suprised of how popular the SCP Foundation has gotten since 2020. When I was in middle school in 2017/2018ish I joined the Fandom when it was sort of dying. It seemed no one cared but after I left in 2019 it seemed it start getting popular again. As it should. The amount of fear I got from reading different SCPs stories gave me nightmares. That's how good the writing was of the wiki post.

The SCP foundation has been around for years. I’m glad you guys decided to do a Infographic Episode of them‼️

[YellyOld]

The first 25 seconds of the video: *A WOMAN IS BEING TORTURED*
Me: hold on, did I watch the right video?

[Dingusdoofus]

So nobody is going to talk about the State of Massachusetts being a SCP.

[flanuffal]

"Neutralising and destroying them"
*Shows 682, The Immortal Lizard*

[akth]

I love how the entire state of Massachusetts is an SCP

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

“SCP-4006, which is the entire state of Massachusetts.”

I'd understand if it was Florida or California, but Massachusetts was unexpected

[vmp]

Scp foundation: we can't let anyone know about these scps

The scp wiki:😳

[VioletEvergreen]

A cartoon horror show about this kind of stuff would be so cool to watch

[amusemiciful]

The best part is the number of SCPs. So you’re telling me there are over 7000 of these things? Makes me wish I was still role-playing,
