My 7 year old who is autistic is obsessed with SCPs. Specifically 035, a white porcelain comedy mask.

Should I be worried ?

No, it's just scary/weird stories. No more strange than a 7 year old being obsessed with Goosebumps books

I think it's your kid who should be worried.

SCP-035 is not a story about a mask's color, shape, or material.

The premise is instead simple enough to be understood by a 7 year old with learning disabilities (but, curiously, not by you, the person responsible for that child):

- a magical, talking, mask

- that is supernaturally good at convincing people

- to wear/become it and thus come to harm.

Remind you of anyone? Well of course it doesn't, lmao

First off. Assuming somebody with autism has learning disabilities is incredibly tone death to those who have autism. My kid happens to be 2E special, and has not been diagnosed with any learning disabilities.

Second. I quoted the lyrics of a song that I have probably heard over 5000 times now.

Next you are going to tell me that SCP-294 is not a drink dispenser?

What I am going to tell you, supposing you wrote you original question in good faith, is that all you just wrote, SCP-035 spoke it better.

This comment is super weird, would it hurt that much to actually explain yourself?

tone deaf
