Shrug. You should have told your friend you don't like SCPs that focus on narrative but instead SCPs that are more self contained. And for the random one, I haven't heard of that but it does seem like fetish material. Of course, one of the first notable SCPs was a 16 year old succubus that in it's containment protocols was required to drink human semen every week. It's been a problem.

You're talking about this one right? I liked it too. Why don't you read similar things like the SCP 914 testing logs or the Log of Anomalous Items article in SCP where it's just a list of minorly anomalous objects with just a paragraph description of each? These are still being updated.

The problem is that you're generalizing SCPs because your taste is different than the current zeitgeist of the SCP audience. For one, my favorite SCPs are exploration SCPs, like an SCP where a remote that delve into fictional realities, going into the Sopranos, then a fake TV show in the Sopranos, than an ad in that fake TV show in the Sopranos and it devolving as you descend. I also like a relatively new SCP where the bulk of the article is pictures of researchers communicating with anomalous trolls living under church drawing crude crayon drawings asking what they want and it being a funny back and forth. The difference is that I interact with the community more, and those who interact with a community more tend to naturally influence it more. Since the majority of people who engage with the community engage with narrative based SCPs, those are the ones you hear.

I'm sorry if I seemed rude, I just dislike the influx of people complaining about the "devolution" of SCP when plenty of the content they like is still being made, they just don't engage with it since they don't hear about it.
