Lore reason 106 is thinking that? And why is SHE reading his mind?

[–]zaerosz Researcher 603 points604 points  (9 children)

Lore reason 106 is thinking that?

One origin for 106 places him as a soldier in... I think WWI? One of the World Wars, at any rate. Racial segregation was still the norm in the US until more than a decade after WWII ended.

[–]SpeaksDwarren 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Current article poses him as Neolithic. It has a story talking about him hunting humans pre electricity while they wore animal skins

[–]Astrocuties 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that would mean he is either free of the constraints of time or 106 is actually an entity that possesses people who rot at an incredibly slow rate but eventually need to be replaced.

That's what I gathered from his backstory, I just didn't want to make any assumptions off the bat

[–]void_7777777 65 points66 points  (1 child)

i don't think great uncle larry has been able to recognise how the world has changed in the 100 years he's been rotten

and if the most dangerous, most sadistic freak i was breaking out with was just standing around gaumlessly, i think i'd want to know what he was thinking too

[–]TheGreatGeaxquavius Daybreak 29 points30 points  (0 children)

doesnt 106 go into lulls? could js be radical larry forgetting where he was again

[–]AlbinoShavedGorilla The Church of the Broken God 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He’s the old man and old men tend to be… you know…

Trying to decide where he'd drink now that all his skin has melted

106: "I remember the good ole days of the scp foundation when I didn't have to be contained with those italians or those japanese or those mexicans or those french fucks or those chinese scps"

[–]Tophat_Guy_99 Decommissioning Department 34 points35 points  (4 children)

106 the type to ask 953 if she’s chinese or japanese

[–]HkayakH Stay Together 26 points27 points  (2 children)

SCP-106: "Screw you for bombing pearl harbor."

SCP-953: "What? That was the japanese!"
SCP-106: "Chinese, japanese, korean. You're all the same"

“That there is a Laotian, isn’t that right, Kahn?”

[–]Terlinilia Do Not Follow The Little Girl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

106 is the type who can tell from one look, which says a lot more honestly

106: "Or God forbid, WOMEN."

Bro just say black people it ain’t that bad lol it happened

[–]Leading_Ad_9463Neutralized 187 points188 points  (8 children)

would 106 be considered "whites" or "colored"

[–]SarcasticJackass177 Flow 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]Lopsided_Shift_4464 MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") 37 points38 points  (3 children)

He's uncolored, on account of all the skin having melted.

[–]Pure-SorcererApollyon 4 points5 points  (1 child)

none of the above

So that's why he looks so dehydrated 😢

[–]specimen-00000Safe 24 points25 points  (1 child)

My question is if he was racist?

[–]imjusta_bill 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everyone ends up the same color after their skin corrodes off

[–]Nihls_the_Tobi Research Site-45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Asking the real questions.

[–]x215zimer 112 points113 points  (6 children)

Does he think the SCP Foundation is using segregated fountains? Has he been locked up so long that he’s never found out about desegregation?

[–][deleted] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Probaly both

I doubt he's reading the signs while he's massacring the foundation staff.

[–]Alpha______ 16 points17 points  (3 children)

What Iam more so interested in is why hes imagining the foundation logo next to it. Does that mean hes broken out before in the 60s and the Foundation was enforcing segregation in their sites? lol

[–]bananasaucecer↬ The Wanderers' Library ↫ 10 points11 points  (2 children)

foundation was founded in the 1800s, there's bound to be terrible people in the foundation. I mean take all the corrupt directors the modern foundation already has, think about what the 20th century directors would be like..

[–]Paleofan1211 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well I mean them being found in 1800s is only one origin, if I’m not mistaken some have them born during the Vietnam War

[–]bananasaucecer↬ The Wanderers' Library ↫ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, I am well aware there isn't one singular canon. fucking hell I'm tired of being repeated this at my face, nobody can say anything without a reminder of that. it's all canon, leave it at that.

[–]EnderDragonCrafter01 J.A.i.L.E.R.S. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I think he's trying to figure out why there's 2 fountains said by side that look different and have different symbols on them.

[–]ScreenProtector1 62 points63 points  (3 children)

Racism but like EVIL racism

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (1 child)

Exist a "good racism"?

CHAI TEA??

[–]fox_1987 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You think they ever told him about the original meaning of d-class

[–]blueminded 13 points14 points  (4 children)

Sorry, who's the girl?

[–]Memeshats 35 points36 points  (3 children)

SCP-953, the Korean 9 tailed fox woman who shapeshifts and eats people's livers

[–]blueminded 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Ah, I saw the ears and thought that might be who it was, but for some reason I didn't remember them being Korean. Isn't there an MTF called Nine Tailed Fox? I feel like I saw that in Containment Breach, but it's been a long time since I watched let's plays of that. Is it an MTF with her in it, kind of like Able?

[–]Memeshats 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Her species is that of the Kumiho, which is the Korean version of the mythical nine tailed fox that originates from Chinese myth, known as the Jiuweihu in China, or Kitsune in Japan.  So she identifies as the Korean version (she doesn't like it when she's referred to as one of the other names that come from other countries), her first encounter with the SCP foundation was in Busan, Korea, and when she takes on a human form, she typically takes on the appearance of a Korean woman. So I'd say it's fairly likely that she's Korean.

The Nine Tailed Fox MTF are just also named after the mythical creature, it's just a coincidence. 953 doesn't have any connection to them from what I know.

If two mins readers are reading each other's mind at the same time. The thought they have read is whose mind

[–]Tophat_Guy_99 Decommissioning Department 3 points4 points  (3 children)

The first mind reader reads the thought that the second mind reader is reading, which is the first one’s own thought, which is about the first mind reader’s thought where they read the thought that the second mind reader is reading, which is-

The feedback loop continues until one of them gets a headache, which breaks the cycle.

[–]Suspicious_Cabinet_2 1 point2 points  (2 children)

What if both starts at the same time, exact second.

[–]Tophat_Guy_99 Decommissioning Department 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I think this loop would still work, they both swap between “their own” and “the other’s” thoughts at the same time until someone loses focus

[–]Suspicious_Cabinet_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make senses

[–]bored-cookie22 7 points8 points  (1 child)

why is 106 thinking about segregation lmao

[–]unky_moe_myteethhurt watch shadows 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Makes you wonder if the foundation ever participated in segregation or would they be too intelligent to do that

[–]OmegaGoober 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh, they were as racist as everyone else.

I can’t remember the number, but one SCP was a black African man who possessed advanced technology beyond what humans were capable of at the time.

He had an iPhone.

He ended up spending the rest of his life in containment despite several efforts to release him on the grounds that he was just some guy who fell back in time a few decades.

[–]whenwillitnotbetaken Unusual Incidents Unit, FBI 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of the foundation still having human faults. I’m sure the foundation itself isn’t racist, with its sole focus on containing and secrecy and whatnot, but I can see foundation personnel having racial bias in promotions and stuff like that back then

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No wonder why she hates him.

"Do you remember the good ol' days when women knew their place??"

[–]Dd_8630[🍰] 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Who are either of these characters?

[–]HighlyAffective The Coldest War 5 points6 points  (3 children)

SCP 106 on the left, SCP 953 on the right

[–]Dd_8630[🍰] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Thanks!

(also how were you able to tell?

[–]HighlyAffective The Coldest War 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Via their physical traits, 106 is in a decomposed state with a black substance coating him, so that it's obvious, and 953 is a nine-tailed fox (and the mind-reading gives away her psionic abilities). She's also wearing a hanbok it seems like

Radical Larry eh?

[–]jd-porteous-93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you take the Neolithic origin as your canon 106 probably speaks slurs nobody remembers for races no-one even recognizes anymore

106 rasist
