to think of it another way, from an in-universe perspective, the sheer number of scps that we all love to complain about is, whether intentionally or not, actually very cleverly indicative of the scp foundation not being the heroes we're lead to believe they are. we're nearing 8000 total classified anomalies, and that number is just the ones categorized as scps, since i'm vaguely aware that the foundation classifies some things in other ways. the more scps are added to the foundation's files, the more clear it becomes that anomalies and anomalous activity are normal and natural in the world of the scp foundation, and that they deserve to be treated as a normal and natural part of that world. when there were only a few hundred or so, it was much easier to claim that these were strange and dangerous things that needed to be hidden and contained for the good of humanity, but now that there are thousands upon thousands, with only more being discovered as time goes on, that reasoning fails further and further. how many of something you call unnatural can you encounter in the natural world before you start to realize that they aren't unnatural? how long until you can't convince yourself that capturing them and sealing them away is what you should be doing anymore? the anomalous is the normal here; humans are simply afraid of what they perceive as abnormal and seek to maintain their own idea of normalcy at all costs.
or, to put all of that another way: join the serpent's hand.
