Comments

Well, society doesn't have the same problem with widespread cannibalism (or any of those other things you mentioned) and people trying to justify it and shut up the victims of it. As such, you're not going to see the same responses to it.

This.

One thing I've noticed about the SCPs -- and please someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong -- is that they might go into some pretty horrifying visceral nightmare fodder, but they avoid things that would be sensitive socially unless an object or a report is trying to be true to a particular time period or society or unless it relates to psychological issues. (They seem very fond of objects that induce all kinds of fun things on the minds of people who come in contact with them.)

But then again, that's most of the point. The archive is meant to read like a pot full of creepypasta; it's not meant to touch socially heavy subjects. In the world of creepypasta, visceral and psychological horror is okay because every creepypasta contains one or the other. Going into them and not knowing that would be like going into any horror film and not knowing that someone is going to either die or get mindfucked massively. But rape isn't present in the objects because that's not the kind of thing you find in them. Creepypasta are, after all, meant to be escapism for horror fans. Watching a rape happen on screen pushes things a little over the edge because you know that's something that can and has actually happened to someone, so it has no place compared to something that would either be too fantastic or too rare to happen in real life. No, I don't believe my soul will be sucked out of my face via a possessed CD, and I don't believe I'll be eaten by my neighbor after they're infected with cannibalism-inducing demon worm. Sure, a person could be infected with horrifying parasites, and cannibalism is something that exists. But the fact is I don't walk down a street worried that I'll encounter either and then be silenced when I try to get help. Well, not a street in quite a few countries, anyway.

Tl;dr, I agree with you and am offering up an addition in the form of "the reason why no one talks about these things is probably because those subjects would definitely require a lot of intense thought and care, so it's just easier to write about and accept cannibalism-inducing parasitic demon worms."

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Mmmph, you're probably right. If it was explained that way, instead of people responding to a proposed sexual-violence article by immediately condemning the writer as human slime, I wouldn't have lost my temper.

The anon above you (because I suck at acronyms)

Oh, haha, I guess that can be explained by the fact that the users were originally 4chan members, and I do believe the community grew up with that kind of flavor as a result. So you see a lot of people who don't really interact with humanity the same way tumblr users or users around here would. I wouldn't hold it against the mods, though.
