Those are the SCP gamers.
Unfortunately CONTROL is the most accurate SCP Foundation game made so far, and its a bootleg rip off of the Foundation.
Of course all the actual CC3.0 licensed SCP games are just call of duty clones. And most of those players have never read a single SCP file. By the tone of their Reddit discussions anyway.
Until someone makes a decent SCP game (or a decent animation series) that includes more than just weak sauce shooter action, this militarized MTF perception is what we are stuck with.
In the meantime I will do my part as a publisher of SCP graphic novels and anthologies to choose stories that present the SCP Foundation in a better light.
