** SCP goes through a LOT of D-Class personnel, to the point where it’s a running gag. However, in the real world, there simply isn’t enough death row inmates to sufficiently fill out the Foundation’s high demand for them. Which means they must be ACTIVELY trying to get people wrongfully or disproportionately convicted in order to fill out the numbers. Now, think of the thousands of D-Class lost in almost every story.

* Considering every horrible and nightmarish thing known about the SCP Foundation 'verse, [[NothingIsScarier what did]] [[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-2165 SCP-2165]] do to be considered irredeemable and made an UnPerson by universal consensus?

* SCP-1160 is humorous at first glance, but then, one commenter brings up a horrifyingly good point: What ''other'' cereal mascots are mere fronts to keep an EldritchAbomination from achieving its true, unspeakable form?

* D-Class are often dismissed as a bunch of criminals that you don’t feel too bad for, given that since many of them are on death row, it’s implied that they’ve done some heinous crime to get there. But in RealLife, many death row inmates are wrongfully accused or given a sentence disproportionate to the crime. That means that it’s highly likely that many D-Class are perfectly innocent or have committed very mild crimes, but suffer the same horrific fates of the worst criminals.
** The police institution of America disproportionately targets African Americans, particularly during the era right after slavery was abolished, mostly because it was not illegal to [[LoopholeAbuse make prisoners perform slave labor.]] That means a lot of people were put in jail wrongfully, and [[KickTheDog likely ended up in D-Class despite having done nothing or little wrong.]]

Bad Example Indentation In Trope Lists. Single two or three bullets entry is always wrong. Natter is removed, two entries also violate Repair Dont Respond and First Person Writing.


** [[FridgeHorror And that was enough for us as a species to conquer the world.]]



** It's far more likely that DRINK, and its counterpart FOOD is a reference to works such as 1984 where the populace are provided with generic, non-descript foodstuffs in order to erase individuality and enforce compliance.



* On the Log of Anomalous Items, they list a fire alarm component that makes all who hear it barricade themselves in a room and refuse to leave. And they found it in a elementary school. [[KillEmAll Yeah...]]
** The list also includes a pair of baby-blue boxing gloves that cause an infant to grow all of its adult teeth within 24 hours if somebody punches it in the jaw while wearing them. [[WouldHurtAChild How did someone find this out, exactly?]]

* SCP-056 takes on an appearance intended to make any observers envious, and it's theorized that its very existence depends on perception. Among the objects that it's mimicked are couches and cameras. ''Even the ordinary furniture and equipment in SCP Headquarters is sentient.''
** Not quite. SCP-056 changes its appearance to make the viewer envious, right? So the SCP Foundation thinks, "Well, what if we just set up cameras and have nobody watch it for a while?". SCP-056 is smarter than that, however, so it just takes the form of the camera doing the "watching". How does it know what the camera looks like? It most likely has some degree of psychic ability; maybe it's even clairvoyant.



** On the other hand, though, it could be no different than dating a soldier. Still, though...



** The containment procedures for this SCP are just as rife with fridge horror. Since they can't contain the SCP itself, the only effective method is to remove it from the gene pool entirely. Involuntary abortions, compulsory sterilizations, even sponsorship of governments committing ''ethnic cleansings and genocides''. How does the Foundation deal with those already afflicted by SCP-1237? By giving them [[MindWipe Class-Omega amnesiacs]] and ensuring they never enter REM sleep again. It's completely unfair, but all it takes is one person with SCP-1237 having one dream for the entire world to change. This is one of the darkest examples of the [[WellIntentionedExtremist lengths the Foundation will go to in order to protect humanity.]]



** SCP-173, at least I think, turns into a statue when observed. Maybe 187 saw what it looks like when NOT observed? Maybe it was too weird or too scary.



* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2557 The concept of SCP-2557]] was purchased from a Foundation agent by an extradimensional investment banking firm. The entire article is meant to be humorous, but some commentators have pointed out the horror in one line: "This obviates and annuls all pre-existing containment procedures". The implication being that the 2557 destination was once a set of containment procedures for an actual Keter-class subject, but any way of containing it has been removed by the bank simply so they can place an ad within the Foundation.

Surely, it's no different than betting on something the old-fashioned way, right? Just one small moral quandary: both they and their customers openly admit to investing in ideas such as cancer rates in a certain city and ''gender dysphoria as a whole concept''. Which means that if a customer so desired, they could profit off of the suffering of thousands of people ''at minimum'' and actively attempt to resist efforts to fight it just to line their pockets; alternatively, using the firm to bet on politics (as one customer mentions in their testimonial) leads to the very questionable motive of using political positions for personal gain - and lots of it, too.

* In [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3008 SCP-3008]], the IKEA dimension, it appears that regular people who have gotten stuck in the store manage to get along with each other, which is often not a scenario represented in other apocalyptic/survival stories. It helps, though, that all of their basic needs are provided for. The trapped people can easily obtain food and drink and any other necessity the store provides, and because the store [[AlienGeometries extends endlessly in all directions]], there's no reason to have to compete over territory. Their only major problem, other than that they are trapped in this form of limbo, are the strangely inhuman creatures hunting them.

* SCP-073 is ''the'' Cain. He is invincible. Sound awesome? Well, he feels all pain inflicted on him, despite being able to recover. Now, imagine being stuck on Earth, incapable of dying. All your friends (the friends he HAD, anyway) would die, but you wouldn't. Eventually, when the earth is enveloped by the sun or an asteroid crashes into it or something, you'd be still alive, incapable of dying. You'd feel your skin being super-heated, you'd feel your body melting, yet still be alive. Eventually, you'd be lost in space, drifting forever, constantly feeling the pain of asphyxiation, never having your suffering put to an end unless you came across another planet with atmosphere, and even then you'd feel the pain of burning up and the impact, all of your bones shattering. When you think about it, SCP-073 is trapped in his own little time bomb hell. It's only a matter of time...

*** There are several other reasons as well. Nukes are not an easy thing to hide. Since only North Korea has even tested a Nuke in the last two decades, it would be a very hard thing to explain away without risking the general public finding out about the Foundation. In the case there is a major containment breach on the site, a nuke is the last resort to prevent a Keter class from running away. You would hope that at the very least, the nuke would hurt that lizard badly so it can be recaptured in that situation.

* SCP-073 is THE Cain. He is invincible. Sound awesome? Well, he feels all pain inflicted on him, despite being able to recover. Now, imagine being stuck on Earth, incapable of dying. All your friends (the friends he HAD, anyway) would die, but you wouldn't. Eventually, when the earth is enveloped by the sun or an asteroid crashes into it or something, you'd be still alive, incapable of dying. You'd feel your skin being super-heated, you'd feel your body melting, yet still be alive. Eventually, you'd be lost in space, drifting forever, constantly feeling the pain of asphyxiation, never having your suffering put to an end unless you came across another planet with atmosphere, and even then you'd feel the pain of burning up and the impact, all of your bones shattering. When you think about it, SCP-073 is trapped in his own little time bomb hell. It's only a matter of time...

Since only North Korea has even tested a Nuke in the last two decades, it would be very hard thing to explain away without risking the general public finding out about the Foundation. In the case there is a major containment breach on the site, a nuke is the last resort to prevent a Keter class from running away.

* SCP-056 takes on an appearance intended to make any observers envious, and it's theorized that its very existence depends on perception. Among the objects that its mimicked are couches and cameras. ''Even the ordinary furniture and equipment in SCP Headquarters is sentient.''
** Not quite. SCP-056 changes its appearance to make the viewer envious, right? So the SCP Foundation thinks, "Well, what if we just set up cameras and have nobody watch it for a while?". SCP-056 is smarter than that however, so it just takes the form of the camera doing the "watching". How does it know what the camera looks like? It most likely has some degree of psychic ability; maybe it's even clairvoyant.

* The existence of SCP objects themselves. Reading through the SCP database, which intentionally analyses SCP and their effects through cold, dry, clinical precision of science, you start noticing classification of SCP as somehow contrary to the natural universal laws of physics. Then it hits you: They aren't. Most of the SCP objects, even the ones that are blatantly using some form of magic or extra-dimensional wedgies to perform their functions, do so without fundamentally causing the universe around them to break, therefore, doesn't it make sense that however improbable, however horrifying they are that the existence of SCP objects and the forces capable of creating them are not only possible but normal in the grand scheme of things? SCP objects will never stop being discovered or created, they are as natural a facet of the universe as the laws of thermodynamics they defy in the first place.
* In [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/diary-of-a-young-girl this diary entry]], we see that SCP-1048 only converted the girl's parents (the mother's unborn child and the father, technically, but the mother still died from it) after they saw it and presumably tried to get rid of it. Yet it acted like a whimsical living toy with the daughter, to the point where at the end, she was happy to live on her own with it while it brought her food. Then you have to wonder, did it ''need'' the daughter for some reason? And why turn the parents into more teddy bears? Maybe to help keep the daughter around? Now, remember that SCP-1048 is doing the same thing in the Foundation, except here we have no clue ''what'' triggered its decision to start making more of itself. And because the Foundation is so massive, it could theoretically have as many people around as it wants, for whatever it needs them for. Good thing there's only one of it - OhCrap, actually the Foundation has no clue where it is, and it can make as many copies of itself as it needs, at this point.

** The containment procedures for this SCP are just as rife with fridge horror. Since they can't contain the SCP itself, the only effective method is to remove it from the gene pool entirely. Involuntary abortions, compulsory sterilizations, even sponsorship of governments committing ''ethnic cleansings and genocides''. How does the foundation deal with those already afflicted by SCP-1237? By giving them [[MindWipe Class-Omega amnesiacs]] and ensuring they never enter REM sleep again. It's completely unfair, but all it takes is one person with SCP-1237 having one dream for the entire world to change.

Added DiffLines:

* not_a_seagull's 001 Proposal, Sky Above the Port, describes a humanoid entity, visible only through a pulsating sphere, which causes the world to "tune out" of existence unless it is constantly kept entertained. The Foundation tries to keep it satisfied with literature, and then turns to showing it SCP articles, which seems to work. The Foundation then learns that the creature is biased towards hearing about itself, and devises a document to keep it entertained forever, going in an infinite loop. You can view the document, which turns out to be a repeat of the article, with another "document" nested inside it, ad infinitum. In other words, YOU are reading this document. YOU are the creature, and if you get bored, and tune out, their universe will end.

And no, it isn't a case of WouldntHurtAChild, it has killed at least two kids - quickly and messily. Remember that when humans make eye contact with or touch 053, or simply be near her long enough, they will go berserk and attack 053. Taking all those clues, you should have realized the ''wrongness'' hiding in 053.
