As Israel shut off the electricity, turned off the water, demanded two million people, half of them children, evacuate in 24 hours amidst endless bombing campaigns with the explicit intention of putting civilian safety second to the destruction of Hamas, papers surfaced claiming that Palestinians, with an IQ of only 75, were incapable of governing themselves. Incapable, really, of being human. The role of race science is to identify those humans that do not have to be classified as people. It is as simple as that. And dehumanization, stripping a group of their capacity to be human, their humanity, is the literal foundation of genocide. On Tutsi — “Exterminate the cockroaches” Rwanda, 1994. On Native Americans: “Wipe these untamed and untamable creatures from the earth” — United States, 1891 On Armenians: “the Government will view the feeding of such children or any effort to prolong their lives as an act completely opposite to its purpose, since it regards the survival of these children as detrimental.” — Turkey, 1916. On Tigray “They should be erased and disappear from historical records” — Ethiopia, 2021. Twenty years prior to effecting the Holocaust, Hitler said of Germany that the “final aim, however, must be the uncompromising removal of the Jews altogether.” And today, in 2023, Israel repeats the same tired story, declaring that they “are fighting human animals” as they rain down thousands of bombs upon an area the size of Rhode Island, destroying hospitals and bakeries and churches in an offensive that declares with every day that passes “the only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian”.

hey mate I enjoy your writing and I think you're good at it but have tou not heard that calling Drifter 'Rat' is p racist? (he's Chinese and so the word has got quite a loaded history)

Ok, well, I suppose it's time.

Cut for length and to respect those who don't want (or cannot mentally afford) to engage with this topic.

Fair warning in advance: My blog is not a platform for hatred. People being shitty to each other in comments will get blocked, regardless of whether you're for or against what I have to say.

And I absolutely know some people are going to block me over talking about this at all. I am saddened by that, but I accept your judgement. This is something I feel everyone needs to think critically about and come to their own reasoned responses, not just knee-jerk outrage react, even though I know there will be knee-jerk outrage reactions. I still love you even if you must go. I will miss you.

If you feel the need to quote me and shit on this post on your blog (or in Discord or wherever), I can't stop you. If you choose to do this, I hope you have the decency to actually engage in what I am saying rather than deliberately misinterpreting my words to mean something they do not. But the lust for ragebait attention is strong so I am not going to be surprised when it happens, just disappointed.

First, the obvious:

Racism fucking sucks. It's systemic. It's a gross disease of human culture based in power dynamics and cruelty, and it's extremely shitty: up to and including the use of racial/ethnic slurs to describe a group of people.

The use of rats, mice, cockroaches, locusts, and anything that falls under the umbrella of 'vermin-type animals' as derogatory ways to describe any group of people of pretty much any racial or ethnic background that isn't whatever group is privileged and in power at the time (usually White, but not always) is a well documented historical fact.

It has happened. It has happened a lot. Many, many times. It has never not been shitty. It will never be ok.

It has been used against people of Asian heritage. It has been used against people in the Middle-East. It has been used against Indigenous people on every continent except Antarctica. It has been used by racially White groups against another White groups but predominantly it's been used against People of Colour.

It is a thing. It has always been a thing. It is a thing right now. People do this right now. It is not funny or irrelevant. It is objectively wrong. It would be nice if humanity could get to the point where we aren't shitting on each other like this but I'm not holding my breath on that one and neither should you.

I live in Canada. My grandmother was a Residential School survivor. If you don't know what that is then don't look it up unless you've got a strong stomach for mass child abuse and genocide. The abuse from my grandmother's experiences continued generationally. I have had so much taken from me because half of my heritage was considered to be literal vermin (written into the laws of the country I am a citizen of) and determined to be in need of being 'civilized.'

The other half of my heritage is Ukrainian: a White ethnic group that has been seen as vermin, had their culture erased, and is currently dealing with another, more powerful White ethnic group taking over their entire country by force in the name of 'bringing order.'

Both groups in my own personal ethnic background have historical documentation referring to them, specifically, as “rats” in the ethnic cleansing “gotta call an exterminator” sense and both groups have been victimized by regimes who treated them (and still are treating them) as exactly that.

I am speaking to you as a person who is intimately familiar with the effects and consequences which happen when one group of humans dehumanizes another, considering them vermin in need of extermination (or “colonization” or "relocation" or "civilization"), and treats them as such – including, and in particular, the word “rat.”

I have also looked very closely (with a full academic literature education background training me to look for these things) at all instances of the word "rat" within all the Destiny 2 lore I have been able to find.

The Drifter's Asian heritage and features (I believe he is canonically at least partially Vietnamese but that is based on some very fuzzy details) in the game are depicted in loving detail. Aspects of his ethnicity are well researched and beautifully represented. He is not a racial stereotype. He's a glorious instantiation of several tropes combined with some genuinely unique, complex, and interesting character depth, breadth and development.

The insult of "Rat" when used for him in-game is based upon his behaviour, his mannerisms, his professions (salvager, skeezy fight club organizer, criminal, etc.), and his individual character history. He is also not the only person with Asian features and/or heritage in the game. No one is running around calling Ana Bray a rat.

There is also an extremely strong and direct reference being made by the specific use of "Rat" for the Drifter: It's a shout out to The Stainless Steel Rat, the intergalactic criminal and con-man main character in a series of Science Fiction books written by Harry Harrison in the 1970s which the character of the Drifter is clearly based upon. I read every single one of those books as a child.

In addition to all that, the Drifter's specific situation, where he became a complete murderhobo/Dredgen for a while from the sheer trauma of living through humanity’s collapse in the Dark Age is eerily reminiscent of what happened Universe 25, a famous Psychology/Behavioral Science experiment on societal collapse, in particular the collapse of a utopia, performed on rats. Don't look that one up unless you have a strong stomach for animal cruelty. It's not nice.

Based upon my own personal lived experience with my own personal background having a very relevant relationship to groups of people people being systematically treated as vermin (and in particular called “rats”) and based upon the use of the word in-game being specific to that character, to his circumstances, to the character in another book which he was based off of, and the likely influence of an infamous animal behaviour experiment, I genuinely do not feel that Destiny 2's use of "rat" as an insult-turned-loving-pet-name for the Drifter is racially or ethnically based.

But, ok, what if it's not intentional? Is it still just blanket-not-thinking knee-jerk always-forever unacceptable to ever reference a character with Asian physical features as "Rat" in any fiction ever, no matter what the circumstances, because historically that group was one of the many groups in human history who have been called rats?

I don't think so, but I do feel this is something where the logic gets far more fuzzy and indistinct.

And before I get into the reasons why I feel this way I need it noted here that because I am not, myself, a member of the targeted group, I understand that some people will feel that anything I say about the matter should be disregarded.

And I further need it noted: that opinion, while I do not agree with it, is valid, should be listened to, has weight, and is something that not only should be, but must be, handled with respect and empathy.

Microaggressions exist. They happen. And they don't have to be intentional.

Just because I genuinely believe that calling the Drifter "Rat" within the Destiny 2 universe is not racist doesn't mean it isn't hurting someone. And furthermore, it doesn't mean I'm not wrong.

The root of what I believe on this topic is that, by using the same logic, any non-white character in any situation referred to as any sort of vermin-type animal would then be a racial/ethnic slur.

Furthermore, (and this is the contentious part): unless it is racialized in context of its use, I feel calling someone vermin is not a de-facto automatic reference to ethnicity.

And yes, I know what a dog whistle is. I just don't think this is one.

I don't feel use of "rat" toward an individual is the same as other clear and well-documented racial slurs because its use isn't specific to any individual group. (I'm not listing them - but you can look up on Wikipedia for a list of documented known ethnic slurs. And, please note, "rat" isn't on there for the same reason: it's been applied to too many different groups of people in human history to be pinned down to any particular one.)

Is calling any group of people "rats" and referring to them as vermin due to their heritage racist? Yes. It is. It absolutely is. No argument. This is true.

Is one fictional character calling another fictional character who isn't White "Rat" automagically racist regardless of context because any connotation of any non-White person with vermin becomes instantly race-based no matter what? I don't think so, no.

And I further believe that restricting the range of creative expression to only "safe zones" to avoid offending people "just in case they misunderstand and get the wrong idea" results in "only-good" stereotypes and creates depictions of fictional People of Colour that don't ring true as people at all. It causes any POC characters to become flat, boring, poorly written caricatures, which runs counter to good representation in fiction and is, itself, a form of racism.

But (and I cannot stress this enough) just because I feel this way, and feel strongly and have tried to be diligent with my research, and think critically about it, doesn't mean I'm some sort of authority on this topic. And just because someone else, regardless of their ethnic background, feels differently, doesn't make them right (or wrong). Because this is one of those situations where objective and/or technical right and wrong don't actually matter all that much. What matters is how people feel and why they feel that way.

I have observed that the bulk of the commentary around calling the Drifter "rat" comes from, broadly, three main mindsets. Some of them are well meaning, and others really very much not.

Some of us have workplaces with strong equity diversity and inclusion policies. I work in one of them. People who rage against EDI and similar initiatives are toxic asshats who need to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up. The "just don't go there in case you might offend someone" approach is absolutely the correct one for a workplace. It doesn't matter if you're right or not. If someone says that calling them something offends them in the workplace you stop doing it. Period. That's basic human respect.

Calling the Drifter "Rat" as a deliberate insult from one character to another in fiction is not the same as speaking to a real person in the real world. If I worked with the Drifter out in the real world (putting aside the fact that the work would probably either be highly dangerous and/or illegal) and I called him "Rat," a trip to HR would absolutely be warranted and it wouldn't matter whether or not I was right regarding my use of it. I would be contributing to a hostile workplace environment and my job would absolutely be justified in firing my toxic ass.

But Destiny 2 is a videogame. It's a fictional post-apocalyptic world full of robots and aliens and space wizards. It's not a workplace. It's art. Art needs to be able to use things like allusions and metaphor and poetic resonance and dramatic effect and it needs to be able to depict things like insults and harassment and complex interpersonal relationships that absolutely would not be ok in a workplace. I believe it is acceptable to depict such things in fiction and for them not to be inherently racist just because someone points a finger and goes “that word is bad!” Context matters and I feel that, while it is well-meaning, this argument is reductive and not accurate in this situation.

The second reason I see people being 'concerned' about fictional characters calling the Drifter "Rat" being racist has nothing to do with racism and it’s the reason I see most often (although I probably have considerable selection bias in play). The bulk of the time I've seen this argument, it does not appear alone.

And I'd like to take a moment to thank the person who asked this question for not being like this. Their question was asked from a position of empathy and I recognize and appreciate that. This is not about them.

But this is another situation where context matters, and it matters, not in the use of the word in the game or in fanfiction. It matters in the context of when the argument comes up online. When you see people talking about calling the Drifter a rat being racist, take a look at their statements before and after they say that. The vast majority of the time someone brings this up (from what I have seen), it's in the same vicinity as an attack. It doesn't take much to see that this argument's primary use in the wild online isn't about racism at all: it's just a convenient excuse to hurt people. This specific flavour of criticism of the use of a term in fiction is overwhelmingly brought up to only be followed by (or preceded with) unrestrained shittiness targeting a non-fictional real-life human or group.

This is not the first time racism has been raised as a pitchfork in "shipping wars" but one quick glance around every time you see it mentioned should be enough to show you that it's absolutely a major tool in the arsenal of a particular subset of people who, for whatever reason, really really hate the idea of two specific fictional people kissing. Because yes, most are already blocked by this blog (or already did me the favour of blocking me - thanks!), but there are some people out there who hate the concept of Drifteris so much they attack real live human artists, writers, developers, and anyone else that so much as hints that they like the idea of those two characters being in a relationship, with any and every possible verbal assault they can think of, including accusations of racism. They openly celebrate when these humans lose their jobs to layoffs. They insult them on social media. They send abuse and threats and feel not a shred of guilt over it.

Because to this sort of person, it doesn't matter if there is any truth to their justification. Critical thinking left the building long ago. What matters it that they hate something, and in their minds anyone who loves the thing they hate no longer gets to be treated like a human being deserving of empathy or respect. By coming up with racism as argument for why the person they are attacking ‘deserves it,’ they've now given themselves carte blanche to be a 'hater' and spew venom in white hot catharsis and cruelty.

And that particular (and unfortunately quite popular) use of the 'issue' of calling the Drifter "Rat" in D2 is not only just generally shit behaviour that should be grown out of well before people reach an age where it's legal to be on most websites (never mind being old enough to play Destiny 2) it's also excruciatingly shitty to use the very real, very much happening right now out in the real world, problem of racism to try and win internet outrage points in a petty tantrum over the 'wrong' fake people kissing.

But, that aside, there is a third reason people get concerned over calling the Drifter "Rat" and, in my opinion, it's the most valid one, because it comes from a position, not of fear of offending the morality police, not of hatred of fake people kissing, but from empathy. And that's the fact that regardless of whether or not I think calling the Drifter "Rat" is racist, there are victims of real-world racism, harassment, and general human cruelty who might encounter the use of the term and feel targeted and/or triggered by it.

I am non-neurotypical and have my own triggers. I don't need to agree with you in order to respect yours. The argument of "when I read this, it makes me uncomfortable" is not something you answer by telling someone "your feelings are wrong." It's something you listen to and, if you have a shred of empathy within you, try to find a way to accommodate.

While I do not agree that calling the Drifter "Rat" is racist, I absolutely want to make sure that anyone who does feel that way can still feel safe reading my writing, and I've taken the approach of treating it how I would want my own triggers treated: with appropriate tagging so that if someone does find the use of the term upsetting (or even just offensive) they can filter all instances of it out and not have to deal with seeing it. I've shifted my use of the #moonrat tag to reflect this on Ao3, Bluesky, and here. Unless I've screwed up (I am human and make errors but I've tried very hard to check thoroughly for this), if I use "Rat" to refer to the Drifter in a story or its title, I make sure it is tagged as #moonrat so that it can be filtered out. If I reblog something that references it, I tag that with #moonrat the same way I try to tag anything that someone has told me they find upsetting. Like the content I can't read without getting a panic attack, the point is not censorship, it's respect.

At least, that is the intent.

So while I don't think that the context within which the term is used within in the game (which is the context I am mimicking with its use in my fanfiction) is ethnically based, I also don't think I get to decide how other people feel. And I hope anyone reading this who feels I am wrong at least recognizes that I am attempting to engage with them with empathy and respect, not dismissal or derision (unless you're using accusations of racism as a weapon in shipping wars - then absolutely I have nothing but derision for you - fuck off and don't come back until you obtain a healthy dose of emotional maturity and figure out how to not treat people as things).

Microaggressions, racial slurs, and treating humans like vermin are heavy topics that need to be treated with respect and empathy. They have hurt me personally. They hurt other people every day. If you feel that calling the Drifter "Rat" is racist, I'm not going to argue with you. But, like all appeals to emotion, I invite you to think critically about it and, even if you disagree that there is context and nuance involved, please treat other humans who think differently from you as humans with basic dignity.

I find the way that Eris' calling the Drifter "Rat" has shifted in D2 from pointed insult to cherished affection to be exquisitely beautiful. I feel it honours their bond and displays a complexity that other terms cannot. I use it in my writing because it matters to me. The Drifter's ethnicity is likewise beautiful and something to be cherished and appreciated. The way the writing within Destiny 2 has developed "Rat" has been to move it from something initially derogatory and personally cruel to something that is gentle and kind, signifying affection and acceptance and care. That is the context in which I am intending by its use in my own writing. However, I understand that I don't get to decide how other people feel, and again, I respect (and want it respected by others) if you feel otherwise.

I write what I write out of love. My fanfiction is a gift. If my gift is not to your liking, that is ok. If you feel that tagging instances where I use the term is insufficient accommodation, that to use "Rat" to refer to the Drifter at all is propagating racism and that there can never be any other interpretation for it, then that is your belief and there is nothing I can do to change that.

Reason is an ineffective argument against an idea based in belief.

However, this is me here and now telling you that my stories are made with love… for the characters, the story, and the readers who interact with them. In my mind, racism, dehumanization, and treating humans like vermin is not part of the love I am putting out into the world. I feel I have a reasonable and logical basis to support my own beliefs about this. Yet, I am cognizant that, for me, that, too, is a belief, and perhaps I am wrong and am emotionally attached to the term because of my own lived experience which informs how Eris calling the Drifter "Rat" makes me feel.

But art is about how we feel, is it not? That's the point. That's the difference between a human and an algorithm that just regurgitates ideas stolen from others, vomited up in a predigested remix based on what someone types into a prompt.

I write what I feel.

I love the Drifter. I love his ethnicity. I love how he and Eris are written within Destiny. I love writing stories about them loving each other. I love and cherish everyone who reads my words. I want to send more love into the world.

If I have failed, and my attachment to the beautiful use of a term others deem unacceptable taints everything for you, then so be it.

But the love is still there. And to me, it is the love that matters.

Aiat.

Excellent Article With Great Ideas About Pest Control

Being a homeowner requires you to learn much more than how to paint or clean. You must learn how to deal with any pests that invade your space. If you do not, you will find many unwanted guests and a big bill from the exterminator. Keep reading to learn how to rid your home of pests.

Use hairspray to kill cockroaches. If you ever have a cockroach in your home and don't have any bug killer on hand, try using an aerosol hairspray. It allows you to keep a significant distance between yourself and the roach, while being an effective means of suffocating and killing it.

One of the ways that you can prevent mosquitoes from coming to your house is to eliminate the standing water that you have outdoors. This can be anything from a puddle to a kiddy pool, as you will want to drain all the water in these, especially in the summer.

You do not always have to call an exterminator when you are trying to get rid of mice. There are several methods you can use including glue traps and poison. If you are concerned with harming the mice, you can repel them with specially made electronic devices that emit sounds they don't like.

Keep in mind that pests are not fond of the same air you are. Your home might not have been designed for proper ventilation in crawl spaces and the attic. However, these spaces need sufficient ventilation so that the environments within them are not suitable to pests who might come in.

Keep sweet smelling food products in sealed containers or in the fridge. Sweet foods can easily attract a vast variety of pests, from rodents to ants. If you do not have enough containers to seal your sugar, cereal and breads you should invest in them. It will cost you a lot less than paying an exterminator.

With your building empty of creatures you don't wish living there, you'll find it's far more enjoyable to be within. Everyone you know will be pleased with the results. Just use the tips from this article and you should have your building cleared out in a short matter of time.

“The Flesh Pit”

What is the flesh pit that Tom seemingly came from?

Tom was an explorer of what was known as the “flesh pit”. Most records of what this flesh pit is or was has long since been covered up or erased.

According to Tom, there was a city deep underground. The exact size is undetermined, since he didn’t explore the entire premises, but is assumed to be large. Somewhere in the city was a laboratory, where human experimentation were taking place. To find out some sort of cure for people’s unhappiness. Nothing was bearing fruit, so over time, the experiments turned more and more unethical. Until one day…

One of the subjects started melting, their form turning mush-like. That was to be expected. However, unexpectedly, the subject flung themselves onto a scientist. Due to their melting form easily no longer being bound to the restraints. The scientist started melting in the subject’s touch, slowly merging with their being. No one else moved to help, but when the other scientists do start moving, it was to exterminate the organism. An explosive bullet was shot at it, in which the organism exploded, the mushes of parts spread around the room. It was still for a moment.

But the organism did not die. Parts of it flung themselves to attach to the other scientists’ faces, to quickly remove their ability to function. Other parts escaped through the vents and the like, ambushing unsuspecting staff. It quickly became out of control, as many amalgamations of organisms were created from the laboratory. When everyone there was converted, all the merged bodies combined into one, singular flesh mass. It quickly destroyed and escaped the confines of the laboratory.

No one new how to kill off this flesh mass. So over time, it melted and merged with more and more people. But at some point, the weight of the dozens of flesh became too troublesome to move in one singular organism. And so, it stretched itself… covering the outer walls, floors, streets, anything it can touch.

And so, the ”flesh pit” was created. A once thriving city, now covered in flesh. The many eyes watching over whoever dares to explore into this moist, humid, and overall vile location. That is, if you don’t become digested immediately.

That’s where Tom enters. He was part of an exploration team. Not by choice, because he was in debt, and needed a way to pay it off. He was very aware of the dangers of the flesh pit. Hell, he can tell at first glance because of the casual horrific consequences mentioned, as well as the armored suit just required for traversing. Nevertheless, he made sure to keep a calm mind. He’s from the Backstreets of the City, so it should be fine. He’s experience some of the worst situations, so it should be fine. Right?

Well… The exploration started. The task was simple enough: get any minerals that you find. It didn’t require going into the deeper depths of the flesh pit, so he didn’t have much to fear about the mission. Right?

That’s what should’ve happened. But an organism, the shape of a large, disgusting cockroach, suddenly emerged from a flesh sack. There was a few security members, since there’s only so many weapons (and not everyone is a fighter), in which Tom expected them to get rid of it quickly. But what he did not expect is when one of the other explorers, a much more meek one who was easily startled, stumbled backwards. Directly into him. He was distracted by looking around, to see if there was more organisms that would emerge, so when he got bumped into, he lost his footing.

Stumbling back, finding that there was no other landing. Falling into the depths of the flesh pit. Never to be seen again.

At least, that’s just what it says on the company’s reports. Somehow, Tom was alive. When I found him, though… he was missing the lower half of his body. Using this opportunity, I fixed him up. I did what I can, but there were some… side effects, that came from being partially devoured and digested by the flesh pit. It’s much more better than the ending where he just dies, when he fought so hard to live, right?

File: Mimic

SCP#: AAN

Code Name: Cockroach men/ The Judas Breed

Object Class: Keter Keter/Archon

Special Containment Procedures: Any surviving SCP-AAN instances are to be kept at containment Site-AA. Due to the adaptive nature of SCP-AAN instances, permanent containment has deemed impossible. Instead, any and all instances captured by MTF units are to be transported to Site-AA where they will be experimented on, harvested, then neutralized. No captured SCP-AAN instance is allowed to survive for any longer than 1 year. Mobile Task Force Hera-1 "The Underground Purge" are entrusted with locating, containing, and even culling the SCP-AAN population within the sewers of the United States. 

Description: SCP-AAN is a colony of ever evolving and mutating cockroaches mixed with human, mantis, and termite DNA. SCP-AAN have grown human organs within their bodes such as lungs, these organs have allowed them to grow to human size and shape. Notably SCP-AAN instances do have a mimicry hunting mechanism where they can wrap their wings themselves to look like a human wearing a black coat. Additionally, they have a shell-like membrane on their face that can attach and un-attach at will. This shell tends to resemble an extremely bland facial structure of a human face. On most occasions it's obviously a mimicry though there have been mutants within colonies who have evolved to possess a unique and more detailed face.

Like most insect colonies, the species of SCP-AAN tend to have hierarchies based on gender thought regarding SCP-AAN it's not always consistent on which gender is dominant. Furthermore, there have been reports of SCP-AAN instances that form small nests or groups. It is believed that this is the fault SCP-AAN's rapid mutations somehow able to affect their natural behavior as well as their bodies. This has unfortunately made them harder to predict and therefore contain.

Surprisingly, SCP-AAN instances have not evolved to create workers to maintain colonies due to them being more accustomed to sewers and subways. By wandering these underground man-made environments, they have become unable to naturally build their own colonies. Unfortunately, this has also led to the effect of them constantly hunting for new man-made structures as expansions for their colonies. This means that SCP-AAN instance are not only a constant threat to civilians within the U.S. but also poses an MK Class Broken Masquerade Scenario hazard.

Thankfully no matter how much SCP-AAN instances mutate, they can be injured or killed by conventional weapons with firearms and flamethrowers having the best effect. However, like cockroaches, they can survive without their heads and even without their vital organs. The longest an SCP-AAN instance has managed to survive without either is 4 days. It is for this reason that even injured instances are considered a threat and must always be binded or dismembered by MTF units. It should be noted that its possible for a healthy SCP-AAN instance to live for 40 years, possibly longer. 

SCP-AAN was discovered in 1997, three years after the pandemic within New York City which was spread by cockroaches. To combat the pandemic a group of scientists foolishly created hybrid cockroaches dubbed the "judas breed" to mutate the cockroaches and bring them to extinction. Though it did bring an end to the pandemic, it also allowed the surviving cockroaches to mutate. Three years later, Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 "Mole Rats" was on a mission to exterminate a Sarkic Clan hiding within the sewers of New York City. They found the clan utilizing SCP-AAN as servants, this combo unfortunately led to the demise of MTF Zeta-9. Later more colonies were found to have been made throughout the sewers of the city and expanding at alarming rates. The scientists responsible were later found and apprehended by the foundation to be processed as D-Class personal, as punishment for the creation of SCP-AAN.

Initial containment of SCP-AAN was quite easy, however as time went on several instances started breeding at alarming rates. The brood they spawned ended up being stronger and smarter leading to an increase of containment breaches at Site-AA. Afterwards it was decided that any containment of SCP-AAN should be temporary and end with complete extermination. Furthermore, SCP-AAN's Object Class has been changed from Keter to Archon.

Update 2006 - SCP-AAN instances have started invading apartment complexes of New York City. Some have even started migrating to the rest of the State of New York as well as other states like Connecticut and New Jersey. MTF Hera-1 has even reported certain SCP-AAN instances that are able to skin humans and wear said skin to mimic humans with greater accuracy.

How to Get Rid of Ants and Keep Ants Out of Your Home

[liampboyle]

Gaia looked around the counsel of gods. Dyaus Pita’s jaw was just hanging open, but at least he wasn’t complaining about her adoption of her Greek name instead of using the Indo-European root name like he still did. After a moment he straightened, set his expression, and then turned to her, “You actually want the humans causing a mass extinction event.”

She sighed, “Yes, I just feel like I need a change. I already had reptiles ascendent and now mammals are ascendent particularly the primates that call themselves humans, but they’re so dirty. Anyway, they’re warming me up enough that I think it’s time for another change.” The large brown insect beside her chittered. “No, Zoonmakros, I’m not getting rid of your kind. You are one of my most successful creations.”

Hausos grimaced at the creature, “Of course you’re keeping the cockroaches, nothing can kill them, and they breed so fast extermination campaigns just won’t work.”

Gaia smiled, “As I said, they are one of my most successful creations. Anyway, I’m not even killing all the humans, there should be a few that survive, they are clever enough.” 

Nyx and Priyati glanced at each other but said nothing. The full council had been assembled because of Gaia’s condition and the effects of the changing climate. Every divine being with a stake in life on Earth continuing, along with representatives from the Fae, Umbrals, Fiends, and Celestials representing the four forms of magic and the cross dimensions that touched earth specifically. Even Yahweh had shown up despite centuries of denying that the rest of the council even existed. 

Murmurs sounded from throughout the hall where they had assembled here in the astral plane which was the closest dimension to material Earth. 

“So we will not help the humans resolve this? We’re not rescuing them from the results of the greed of a few of the more powerful ones in their societies?” It was one of the Fae representatives speaking. Gaia didn’t know their name, and their form resembled a mass of twisting vines with insect wings sprouting from their back.

She spoke, “No, I want to just see how this plays out. Either the humans will find a way to stop this change, or I get to start over, maybe I’ll work more with the amphibians this time.”

Earth has no idea why humans think global warming hurts her. In fact she is excited! Its been a while since the last extinction. She was already starting to get tired of mammals.

Humans are the universe's cockroaches. tried as many insecticides as you want, feel free to bring a couple of exterminators just in case, why not just burn the whole house down?! Many if not most will survive, somehow, better not even ask how, but some will survive, learn, develop, and adapt, and by the time you thought it was over the next generation will rise and be unfazed by your once horrendously effective weapons now turned worthless dead weight that is keeping you from outrunning them

@imhumanguysiswear don't worry buddy your secret is safe with me

It’s funny how science fiction universes so often treat humans as a boring, default everyman species or even the weakest and dumbest.

I want to see a sci fi universe where we’re actually considered one of the more hideous and terrifying species.

How do we know our saliva and skin oils wouldn’t be ultra-corrosive to most other sapient races? What if we actually have the strongest vocal chords and can paralyze or kill the inhabitants of other worlds just by screaming at them? What if most sentient life in the universe turns out to be vegetable-like and lives in fear of us rare “animal” races who can move so quickly and chew shit up with our teeth?

Like that old story “they’re made of meat,” only we’re scarier.

this was about kākāpō originally (there are 247 kākāpō left, they have a super small gene pool and struggle to lay fertile eggs, and their offspring can't fend off introduced predators) but this is also about EVERY endangered species. this post also applies to people who think a species should go extinct because it's "useless", "ugly", "annoying" etc.

cockroaches are pollinators in the tropics and play a crucial role in recycling soil nutrients. exterminating ticks from ecosystems can cause super detrimental effects to the entire food web, affecting every trophic level. "pandas are lazy and useless" they collect seed and plant matter in their fur and disperse it throughout the forest, helping new growth. we can't just "replace" kiwi with a nocturnal mammal from somewhere else because "its bad at surviving", it's an extremely unique species and it is important to hundreds of thousands of people. the only reason it is "bad at surviving" is due to the threat of introduced mammalian predators that it has not evolved to fight. stop being an asshole about things you don't know enough about.

I have heard ALL of the above examples said with such confidence and it's just embarrassing. if you've shared these ideas in the past and are feeling upset, I used to as well!! I'm glad that you've been able to gain more knowledge about the importance of every species within its ecosystem. for those of you who STILL share these sentiments, please please PLEASE before you say "X species should just go extinct", do ONE search. "X species environmental niche". that's all you need to look up. read a bit about it. thank you

by the way if you think an endangered species deserves to go extinct because it takes effort to save them/they can’t look after themselves, you need to reevaluate the way you look at the world because that is an extremely flawed, messed up, and sad worldview.
