Thanks to everyone in chat and forums that helped me with this draft, and thanks to Lefarsi for coming up with the original idea and collaborating with me on this.

So SCP-3108 is a modded NERF gun? I see.
Yes. And the picture used is a modded NERF gun as well.
its a modded pic of a nerf strongarm pistol
I find the base anomaly to remind me of 914, but with a limited range. I was sceptical about the involvement of GAW at first, but the creator's voice gave reasonable input.
And given this is a collab, perhaps the collaborator would like to claim their spotlight under Attribution Metadata.
I like it a lot! +1
Just out of curiosity, do you have a headcanon of what that "causal link between rats and ants" is? That one feels kind of different from the other tests to me, and the researcher notes it as well.
Glad you liked it! For the rats to ants, basically the researcher was thinking about the rat as animal used for testing, so it became a much less useful animal used for testing. (for example children messing around with ant farms)
My critique from the last time stands (especially with regards to the object being pretty unremarkable and seemingly stretched thin in order to justify it as an SCP rather than just an anomalous item). I still do not enjoy this. I think the voice you have for this member of GAW is only just barely more believable, though I'm not too convinced nonetheless. Now that this seems to be sticking around; I can buy a member of GAW making this (if the gun had different effects besides "stuff was weaker", which ties back into my original critique of this), but the dialog doesn't seem to be written well.
I'm reading it out to myself and it switches so casually between internet memery and serious grand artsy lad so casually it actually works against the dialog, because I have no reason to believe this 19 year old is either with the way you've portrayed him. Dr. Liam Deets also seems a bit too passionate, particularly when they go on the moral high ground against GAW; there's no real reason with the way you've written them why I should feel like they feel this way.
Still, I think you're finding your footing and that's alright; hopefully you can find a voice soon. I had trouble with that writing for the community at first. I also do like the name "Kektagon", so there's that.
is scp-3090 lethal still? i thought it wasn't anymore because you revised it
I know this is a very old comment, but what did you consider a SCP object that's not "unremarkable and stretched thin" when you wrote this? I'm trying to make sense of your text and I'm having some difficulty with it. An anomalous object would be something inocuous like a blue rubber that dyes paper green or a shoe that makes you giggle, not a toy gun that can alter the very fabric of reality basing itself on subjective perceptions. Everyone can have their own opinion, but this one seemed incredibly weird to me, specially coming from a very well regarded author.
That interview is awesome, I love the mutual reality check there. It's almost like actions have consequences or something…
Great skip, though I do think the guy is kind of a hypocrite for giving it to his brother when he's concerned about the Foundation using it on other people.
+1
It's especially odd that the Foundation didn't even comment on this in the interview. :/
I think they're jaded to people being idiots at this point.
Basically. Site 64 in canon deals with a lot of GAW and AWCY, and this wasn't the first time pierce had been interviewed. The researchers were fed up with nonsense by this point.
Oh Pierce is a complete hypocrite. He's basically an internet troll that makes anomalous items out of junk. Thinking ahead is something he doesn't tend to do.
His outrage at learning that the Foundation had tested it on humans seemed genuine and entirely appropriate. This had what I've come to think of as the GAW feel - something that is anomalous but not obviously dangerous.
Probably just as well that he didn't find out just what the test subject was turned into; not as detailed as the Incredible Human Limpet transformation sequence, but going from human to sloth to worm is body horror nightmare fuel.
