/bmw/ - The Bureau of Memetic Warfare

Mostly, you've got some damn good observations here. I think being identifiable and exploitable are the most important. It's why we have the Scumbag Steve and other captioned images.

That said, I take issue with

>and splice all of them them into an OC to create an unstoppable SCP-chimera cultural juggernaut.

This gives as a toolbox, sure, but this hodgepodge monster of yours is not guaranteed success simply because it utilizes everything that works. You aren't making the chimera, you're suggesting a platypus. Not to mention you may not have functional room for the beast to serve a purpose besides self-replication. It'll be the dankest of SCPs, but there won't be enough meaning to push anything.

Regardless, keep finding traits. You're on a good train of thought.

>What makes them tick

A SCP need to be witty or just silly and it needs to be funny.

It's not "gut laugh" but more of "silly giggle".

When you say "Good luck Ebola-Chan" and you see that it's actually spreading everywhere you giggle thinking "Oh wow Ebola-chan is actually going at it".

Same with stuff like "/pol/ is always right" or "It's happening", when the SCP actually apply to the situation you giggle and feel good about it so you repeat it over and over ignoring the failures and focusing on the success.

Take dubs for another example, you rarely see people going "Oh wow you missed dubs" but when anyone get dubs they go "CHECK EM".

To prove my point i can state that i will get dubs, if i fail it's simply bad luck while if i succeed i'm some kind of oracle.

SCPs need to be witty, they need to apply to a situation that can happen (by stating the situation is already happening) and they must be mildly amusing if the situation actually does happen.

That is my opinion on the thing.

This is definetly true, and the instant people start taking a SCP seriously it becomes forced. The quickest SCPs to spread are the ones that can be applied to almost any situation, but sometimes they get spread too thin and entirely lose their meaning, or even worse, take on a new one. Like all of Reddit's advice animals. So the situation the mene applies to needs to be common but somewhat specific.

>>473

You make a good point, as some features of SCPs will be mutually exclusive. I didn't exactly mean making a hodge podge abomination copy-pasted from other SCPs, but just looking at some covergent features that contribute to the speed of a SCP's spread, and creating features that accomplish as many of them as possible. But you're right, we'll have to be selective. A SCP that's too fast and too adaptive might succumb to cancer as already mentioned, and lose it's original meaning.

>>482

I think we could create SCPs that apply to absurd situations that today's blue pills cannot handle.

A good example is Ebola-chan, nobody that is brainwashed by today's media would ever support Ebola-chan or even try to turn it into a different meaning because it would mean getting put on the cross by your own people.

A useful SCP is a SCP that only we can use, a SCP with dark humor, a political incorrect SCP.

Or we can try and trick people into crushing themself by giving them a SCP with a hidden agenda.

/pol/ tried this on 4chan by making pictures that tried to promote diversity in Israel.

So we need to create SCPs that are very specific or that are use arguments that SJWs and the like would fear of even looking at because of the repercussions.

>>484

The problem with politically incorrect SCPs is that there's a huge barrier of exit from the chans. We don't want to make people afraid to spread it in fear of social injury. In order to attack a bluepill ideology, we need to enter through an extreme side of it that people already reject.

And example: say we want disdain for Israel to become mainstream. We start with things even Israelis are against, such as a SCP sympathising with palestinians being WP bombed by the IDF. Then start demonizing other actions that are less controversial, like the Wall and settlements in Palestine. Then we start the redpill SCPs: Holocaust guilt, american politicians with israeli double citizenships, israeli influence on the western media. It is imperative that it's not about the SCP-666s until we have succesfully reached

around the barrier of political correctness.

With an enemy like SJW's, the process is easier because they are already viewed as extremist, but harder because they are also using the internet to spread blue pills. They use a different type of SCPtic warfare: Subversive SCPs. They're coming from the left of the political spectrum, which gives them an upper hand in creating SCPs that take no effort to ingrain- the values themselves are the SCPs. They dont spread because they are funny, they spread because people use them to appear more politically correct and progressive. Our only advantage is humor, but lucky for us humor is fast. We have to take the same route, using their rejected ideals (Manspreading, Stare rape, 3+ word gender identities, and the like) as a backdoor into their more mainstream SCPs.

m e m es are meant to be funny, ironic, etc. and don't work if they're serious

This isn't propaganda; this is entirely new territory, but it's something we've been doing for the past >10 years anyway and by now we're collectively m e m emasters

Just keep making dank m e m es, and let them do the rest

>>450

You've hit all the major points. I would add one more:

>Adaptability

Does anyone remember when Hot Topic tried putting Rage Guy on their shirts, and 4chan responded by turning Rage Guy into a racist SCP, prompting Hot Topic to pull the shirt? See: http://i.imgur.com/UnpGs.png

In just a few weeks, anons completely changed the meaning of the image. I would argue that this incident was the first IRL weaponization of a SCP, and it was incredibly effective.

>>506

What about a decay rate?

Surely there are multiple factors at play, determining how fast the content evaporates from active distribution in a community - and how the community structures interrupts, accelerates, or by any other means interacts with the content in a quantitative fashion.

>>491

Absolutely not.

Absolutely fucking not.

This is not propaganda, this is using the engineering of SCPs in a way that can't be used against us.

Sympathising with palestinians getting bombed? Are you fucking nuts?

You might want to revisit what we're doing here dude, we are not trying to weaponize masses, we are trying to weaponize SCPs, it's very different.

What the fuck does SCP stand for? Secure copy?

>>520

Secure Contain Protect

It's the wordfilter for meem

Guys.

Let's test our findings while helping /pol/.

Let's start with something simple, a captioned image.

Anyone got any suggestion on which picture to use and what to write on it?

>>534

Try a black woman holding a placard with some text on it?

#RightsNotWhites

#OneSkinColour

#SomethingUnoriginalAndEquallyMundane

>>514

We're using SCPs as weapons, and are experimenting with magic in order to bring them into real life. Yes, I am fucking nuts, we all are.

I was just using it as an example of a potential path of using SCPs to attack a certain institution, and it happens to be an example of what /pol/ wants to do with them. It's not my actual suggestion.

>>500

And they won't be serious. It's basically reverse propaganda, have SCPs with an ambiguous origin disseminate into the cuture and lead to something being taken like a joke. If you saw an alien on the news, you wouldn't panic, you'd go "ayy lmao" and laugh your ass off. We can use this effect to our advantage to level the playing field and neutralize some juden-issue bluepills. There are many things that can be accomplished with menes.

>>500

WRONG.

Both methods work.

You're not being machiavellian enough. If you actually want to do damage you need to actually worry about the Host Perception. You can't just laugh your own ass off. A SCP is funnier when it actually buttblasts the host without the host even recognizing what is happening. There are many different levels of laughter.

>>568

That's not what i was refering to when calling you nuts.

If we all start pretending that is okay to bombard Palestinians then chances are that it will come into reality and bombaring Palestinians will be something acceptable.

>>523

I thought people were actually talking about SCPs for a second, but the context was too jarring
