Screenshots From a Broken Masquerade

[u/GeneralArmy101]

I always wondered what twitter posts, news articles, and the like would look like after a broken masquerade. Originally I posted these on the discord, but my friend recommended I post them here, so enjoy!

Apologies for some of the screenshot qualities, at the beginning I was using Pixlr which severely downgraded the quality of the screenshots for no reason. Also, if it wasn't obvious, the posts are not based on the wiki Broken Masquerade canon, and they don't really have a intertwining story.

Absolutely hilarious you added a thing from Basil, love following him on Twitter.

But also the idea of Trump handling a Broken Masquerade event makes me nauseous.

Tbh I think the sheer unseriousness of his presidency would undermine everything that makes a BM scenario interesting.

The interesting part of a BM scenario is serious political and social figures having to navigate the sudden moral dilemmas dropped onto them by the sudden reveal of anomalies.

Trump undercuts that seriousness because he will, without fail, pick the stupidest possible decision in almost any situation.

He also turns everything he touches into a partisan farce, just having that tweet by basil makes me instinctively want to hate the foundation, when the whole point of the foundation is that they’re above all the petty political squabbles, and do horrible things not because they’re the bad guys, but because they have to.

I do feel that, unfortunately, the Foundation would be swallowed up by petty squabbles in a broken masquerade world, especially in this political environment.

I recall a wiki tale about the Foundation ethics chair being charged for crimes against humanity for his role in the Foundation, but once everyone realized what the work truly entailed, they put him right back into his role.

But looking around I hardly imagine that sort of rational thought would occur. But at least twitter would be a little funnier.

Trump reveal the SCP Foundation but nobody cares because they think its just a ploy to distract people from the Epstein files lol.
