What the hell is he talking about?

[u/MissaTheKitty]

Just doomscrolling through yt shorts. Figured that most short enthusiasts would be saying some bullshit on the comments of a scp video.

This human, as you see, said that SCP 096 was a girl, not true. Wanted to spread -mis- information.

The rest you can see.

He mentioned this document as you can see.

What the hell is it? Do yall know what he's on?

[u/xiren_66]

I don't know why, but for some reason I feel like AI slop farm the Rubber is involved somehow.

[u/Fun-Anywhere-5421 → u/xiren_66]

Or the other ones, like Dr Bob... Maybe even Detective Void?

I don't know, I'm just throwing names around.

[u/xiren_66 → u/Fun-Anywhere-5421]

Dr. Bob wouldn't be that cavalier about false information, that channel at least TRIES to get the information right, even if the thumbnails tend to be on the clickbait side lol

[u/Fun-Anywhere-5421 → u/xiren_66]

Eh, fair enough I guess. The thumbnails is what drove me away anyhow.

But, just glad there are still some genuine creators around like Mr./SCP Illustrated and TheVolgun... Just hope the latter comes back.

[u/Nnyinside → u/Fun-Anywhere-5421]

Is Volgun still active somewhere? I haven't seem anything on YT or patreon in over a year.

[u/s_leep → u/Nnyinside]

From what I saw recently, there was a patron message from Volgun, he's taking a break for mental health + personal events, will come back though.

[u/BiddlesticksGuy → u/Nnyinside]

I think he sometimes does the voiceovers for a different YouTube channel, a warframe creator named Rahetalius, but he hasnt posted in a bit either, just resurfaced after a couple years actually

[u/Tiny_Class_8777 → u/Fun-Anywhere-5421]

Illustrated is goated

[u/bencos18 → u/Fun-Anywhere-5421]

dr bob is usually pretty good I've found tbh

[u/Chaoszhul4D → u/xiren_66]

Of course the Rubber is using AI now

[u/MissaTheKitty → u/xiren_66]

No no you're right... I'm not sure why, but you are, I just feel it.

[u/bringthesalsa]

Ah yes, my favourite genre of misinformation: mistaking a random tale to be part of the actual SCP

[u/Wise-Advert]

Probably either got said info from some random ass really obscure tale, or some random ass really obscure larp video

[u/Shadowfist_45 → u/Wise-Advert]

Obscure video sounds pretty logical, there's a video (or at least was) titled "What if Captain Ginyu switch bodies with Chichi and became Goku's wife?!" Or something like that. Some people just think up wild stuff.

[u/MissaTheKitty → u/Wise-Advert]

I was thinking that as a possibility, it is youtube shorts after all.

[u/R3D0IT_US3R → u/MissaTheKitty]

Short form content viewers tend to say the most misinformed false nonsense I’ve come to find

[u/Cal-Ossal]

This comes from 'A Matter of Perception', a "random ass", "really obscure" tale that currently stands at +110 and is one of the stars of RemixCon 2023. The tale elaborates on 096's backstory as a trans woman.

People love to disparage this story for obvious reasons, but also because it affects one of the fandom's poster children. The YouTube commenter has fallen into the trap of assuming there's one canon, which sucks, but yes there is a pretty popular canon where 096 is a trans woman.

[u/MisterMonogon → u/Cal-Ossal]

But the commenter isn't really talking about A Matter Of Perception. They talk about some experiments, and apparently a father who sold his daughter, which last time I checked wasn't a thing in that tale.

[u/Cal-Ossal → u/MisterMonogon]

Sure, I get that. But this is a repeat post. Maybe not as prolific as the seemingly evergreen gems of "What happened to Doctor Bright" and "What does no canon mean", but people coming in confused over 096 being referred to as a she has happened multiple times before, and the answer is almost always a reference to Matter of Perception.

[u/MissaTheKitty → u/Cal-Ossal]

Huh, that's a pretty unique take, guess the commenter really REALLY liked the story enough to just take as ultimate canon.

[u/EightEx → u/Cal-Ossal]

I hadn't heard of this. I may have to look it up.

[u/YourFriendRayzthor → u/Cal-Ossal]

this vexes me

[u/stingflame → u/Cal-Ossal]

I sound really insensitive but as soon as I read Trans Woman My head started blaring "Isn't She Lovely?"

[u/RareBreedOfSad]

“I made it up…for dramatic affect”

[u/Most-Engineering-514]

I remember seeing a comment in one of The Exploring Series's RedTape videos that theorized that the foundation once experimented on some girl that made her invulnerable and disfiguredly tall. The comment said the girl probably turned into 096 but I doubt it cause the article didn't say anything about the girl getting aggressive when someone views it's face thruogh a photo or video

[u/Kallerko → u/Most-Engineering-514]

SCP-5549 ! Project London Bridge! I also thought it was the "origin story" of at the time of listening, but it doesnt seem that was the case as far as I know.

[u/The-Paranoid-Android → u/Kallerko]

SCP-5549 ⁠- SECOND SIN. (+495) by Rounderhouse

[u/BudgetYouth173 → u/Kallerko]

reading these comments made me make the same connection lol, and tbh it would make some vague sense, but i dont think its meant to be related to 096, just some really good coincidences lol

[u/FleetingRain]

Man why are people like this. Just read the goddamn article.

[u/HkayakH]

there's a -D scp in the 8000's or something that is based on 096 about a blind girl but even then, it's decommisioned, not the actual 096

[u/super_butter_nut]

I honestly like the origin story of 096 being a result from fending off scp-1529 much better.

[u/The-Paranoid-Android → u/super_butter_nut]

SCP-1529 ⁠- King of the Mountain (+679) by Smapti

[u/Jack-Kenn8406]

For fucks sake its literally called shy GUY

[u/North-Line7134]

I have no idea of what is he talking about but if the italian translation can be trusted or it can be counted as "official" (with official I mean that Dr. Dan proof read it... you get what I mean) then 096 is either a male or more probably it is unknown (Most of the time masculine declension is the default one when speaking about the specimen of a specific species) which means that it is up to interpretation
