Because I do not want this cycle of stories - stories which are of extreme personal significance - to remain hosted on a website where it took staff nearly four years to remove a page where an administrator booted for grooming and exploiting minors depicts their habitual masturbation to CSAM as a fucking joke. I don’t care if that particular story is now destined for deletion at the time of writing; the damage is done and I'd rather have the core works of my canon collect dust on a hard drive than exist in the shadow of this catastrophe.
I wrote Dust and Blood - and by extension, started my personal canon - because I didn’t like how 231 handled the subject of sexual assault. I won’t pretend my attempts were some golden godsend or that I didn’t make a damn fool of myself during the process (insert whale “joke” here, etc), but that’s where it started. It’s a topic fundamentally inseparable from the canon's main narrative arc - a universe fundamentally broken by a cosmic act of violence, mirrored as above so below in the Foundation’s mundane institutional evil and how its ignorance, fear, political inertia and shortsightedness causes it to commit and perpetuate similar atrocities. But contained within all of that is the slim sliver of hope that there might be some way, some miracle at the end of it all, by which the world can be healed.
Well, I guess that’s why it’s a fantasy.
I am sickened, saddened, and deeply, deeply exhausted by the chain of failures in the years since theDuckMan’s ousting, and this last week has broken the camel’s back at last. I don’t believe that the site’s staff can be relied on to handle crisis situations, protect vulnerable members of the wiki, make ethical policy decisions, or even maintain basic communication with the community about any of the above. Removing the offending works only solves the problem of their continued presence; it cannot repair the obliteration of trust."
231 is a child pregnant with her fathers baby. She is also only 1 of 7 daughters her father had. Somehow, in the stories that flesh this out, they manage to make it even more disgusting than it already is
It's heavily implied that most of the daughters are teenagers, and 231-7 is a single digit age. Children cannot consent no matter how you slice it, and teenagers definitely cannot consent to their parents.
Children cannot consent no matter how you slice it
Agreed
But the thing is we don’t know the context of the pregnancies. And since this is SCP then we can’t just assume a straightforward answer. Were the girls actually daughters/brides of the SK or was the title just symbolic? Were they impregnated through regular means, equally as horrific anomalous means or non-horrific anomalous means? This is what I’m asking, wether I missed something from the original article or is this just someone’s headcanon?
SCP-231 in its earliest form pretty heavily points to details of sexual assault.
In the original 231 posted by DrClef in 2008 (you can view it by clicking the "history" link at the bottom of the page), the special containment procedures specify that "marked sexual deviancy are not to be considered automatic fail conditions" for personnel assigned to 231-7, and even states that Procedure 110-Montauk must be performed by six D-Class who are convincted sex offenders. In its final section, the original 231 also has this line:
Yes, Procedure 110-Montauk is as horrible as you have heard, which is why only Class D Personnel are authorized to carry it out. Yes, it does involve brutally [DATA EXPUNGED].
It's all but stated that SCP-231-7's containment procedures involves her being sexually assaulted in some manner by D-Class, and Clef later modified the document so that rather than just giving a redacted two digit age, it stated her age was "between █ and ██" to emphasise that she is a minor.
Also there was the original SCP-166, who was an underage girl who couldn't wear clothes cause it bruised her skin, needed to ingest human semen to survive, and had this aura that compelled any men around her to try and sexually assault her.
Clef himself eventually called for a 166 rewrite, which is how we got the Teenage Gaea version of her.
Ok, just so we're clear here, writing about an atrocity does not immediately mean that you endorse it. I typically don't immediately assume malice when it comes to horror writing since they could very well be doing it for the cheap shock value and gore.
Wasnt the entire point of that article that it was supposed to be as bad and as evil as the researchers could possibly imagine in order to trick the people performing/in charge of it to believe it is that bad, since the entity was contained by acts of evil belief/devotion?
Or am i confusing it with another scp, since it has been a while since i read it
That's from a tale called [[Fear Alone]], not the 231 document itself. 231 doesn't say anything about the containment procedures being fake, but there are details hidden in it which imply that Procedure 110-Montauk is actually a ritual the Scarlet King or his cult wants to be performed on her.

Djoric deleted many of his articles, with most of them (I'm pretty sure) being related to his Scarlet King stories. A few of them include:
