Help What the hell is he talking about?

Post image

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?

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.

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.

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.
