MalO is actually kind of wholesome in its own creepy way. Based on the file, the skull-face entity (1471-A) isn't hostile and it doesn't seem to cause any inherently/deliberately harmful effects, it just follows you around and tries to keep you company. It's just a friend. An ominous, frightening, but essentially harmless friend.

[Gengawa]

MalO is also considerably non hostile and just likes to flash in and out of peoples life so they can get more used to it, unfortunately those who are hyper sensitive to its presence sometimes take the extreme like in this story or in another story for MalO sleeping permanently but the users who do end up enduring find out that MalO really does make sure you are never alone ever again :)

Ah, one of, if not the most lewded, SCP in existence has arrived.

[ThePhantomStinker]

I'm also given the impression that Mal0 is more tragic than threatening. It wants to socialize, but it doesn't know how to except to only interact with those who invite it to do so. Beyond that, it has yet to grasp the concept of a misunderstanding -- that people might accept the invitation not knowing exactly what it means, nor does it understand that, just because someone answered the text, that doesn't mean they consent to receive another one.

It probably thinks the panicked reactions to its first appearances are just normal social interaction. And a lot of people do just get used to seeing it, so it probably thinks it's doing a great job making new friends too.

Id rather have MalO than Twitter or Facebook, Malo's honest about stalking and unlike the big two, quieter.

[Lunar]

There's a neat tale involving this scip called "Capone" where a victim actually grew to accept the creature, even giving it the aforementioned name and teaching it how to wave. I believe there's also another tale where a different victim taught their instance how to use sign language.

_The Perks of MalO as a companion:_
>Incredibly Low Maintenance
>Only needs as much attention as you feel like giving it
>Loves you unconditionally
>You can project whatever gender you want onto it
>Will never abuse you, verbally or physically
>You have physical evidence of your relationship when people ask about it
>Will always be by your side
>Skilled Photographer chronicling your every day life
>Cute and fluffy

10/10 the perfect social substitute.

[kurofox]

no matter how "scary" this video is trying to make it out to be it just keeps falling flat and makes me think of how MalO could be a nice friend

[beastwarsFTW]

Malo is ironically less creepy then Facebook.

They both intrude on your privacy but Malo never does anything shady, all they do is send pictures of places you go.

[privatename]

The funny thing is how benign MalO actually is. It just pops in to give you a cheery reminder that you don't need to be alone. People tend to freak out because of how MalO looks, but it never does anything to hurt them. The idiots cause their own problems. If MalO just appeared as a friendly dog, then it would barely be an SCP at all. It's the perfect example of why people shouldn't take things at face value.

[awesomeness]

Mal0 is like that quiet friend who’s only friend is you. Mal0 is also one of the scps that I’d want to be real.

[Robotcardude]

3:25 I love how the only time he was happy was when he ate any food.

[JustSK]

Mal0 is actually one of my favorites. Mostly because it's one of the SCP's that doesn't intend any harm. It basically just wants to be your friend, it just sucks that you can't understand what it says.

[thechalupacabra]

There is...so much porn of this one. Too much for it not to be anomalous in nature. I hereby move to classify this anomalous phenomena as SCP-1471-34R.

[DKQuagmire]

I remember watching an animated video about this SCP a year ago, about a young man visiting a psychiatric and explaining to the lady how MalO had effected him and his sister, and how he wasn't the only one who suffered.
even during the video, MalO would appear in the reflection of the window and table, and have that apologetic and "sorry" look on its face, as if to say it didn't mean for the boys sister to commit suicide over it.

[ArcanGaming]

Every time I see stuff about Malo, I can't help but make this a tragedy. Not for the people that encounter this SCP, but the SCP itself. It's like... Loneliness given form, a horror to the people that live with it and always just wanting to not be alone. It just wants them to feel better, to be with them so they don't have to be on their own...

Poor MalO, caring and wanting to be cared for but a being of such nature as to terrify any that it tries to help.

[Saeryfim]

I like Mal0, she's just trying to make sure you never feel lonely again. EVER. AGAIN.

But yeah, people just look at it from the wrong angle. She's a sweetheart, having Mal0 stalking you means you could always have a friend near, assuming you actually make an effort to befriend her.

[ericemigh]

What I like about 1471 is that we can't be sure it's creator is malicious. Whoever made it might genuinely think they're giving people a friend for life, and thinks the build-up is just fun.

[josephwear]

You know it’s going to be good when they rapid fire every dating site/app within less than half a minute.
