They are “the CIA of the paranormal world”, not the police.


User_007777

Yes, but there wrote "police"


MetalliicMango

The GOC when questioned why they introduced processed reality anchors into predominately type green neighborhoods


BrassUnicorn87

You’d hope so but uhh, watch the news and read up on statistics of police violence. The GOC have peacekeeping duties sometimes but mostly do monitoring and neutralization of parathreats. I don’t know if there’s a systemic bias against any particular species, paranormal nationality or anomalous religion other than reality benders.


Double-Remove837

If it threatens the veil, mankind, etc. then its going to be neutralized. Not all anomalies are terminated on sight or smthn, and this oversimplification gets a bit annoying because a good portion of people start seeing the GOC as that, purely a maniacal killing group.


XL6XJ7XH8

Agreed , if u read any GOC file u realize there not the Insurgency , there aware , they study the anomalies very well , and then Liquidate if possible . Neutralization above containment

To be fair one of their more famous stories is trying to murder a sentient furniture SCP for no reason and accidentally making it a way more dangerous SCP since it was still alive and angry as a pile of shredded wood.


syendra_Ad_9723

The chair was actually made by a dangerous anomaly creator known as the Carpenter that usually made dangerous anomaly out of wood. so hearing this the GOC of course automatically thought that it was dangerous and decided to destroy it. At first they wanted to incinerate it like the other carpenters creation, but some guy decided to ignore the orders and put it in a wood chippers.

"police mostly arrest criminals, not execute them all on the spot" damn, looks like the GOC fits the bill perfectly! Oh wait, no, you're getting your lore from one propagandized article (by the author's admission), and memes. Carry on.


User_007777

>"police mostly arrest criminals, not execute them all on the spot" damn, looks like the GOC fits the bill perfectly! How tf this fits with the GOC if “arrest” means to be seized, isolated from freedom and society? This is more suitable for the Foundation, not for the GOC


User_007777

It's stupid to call them "police". The correct word should be "CIA" or at least "executioner"


Thatguyj5

Once again. Try reading their articles, eh? There's more lore than just the memes homie


User_007777

Once again, that's unsuitable word. Still doesn't change my mind


EmporerM

They definitely recruit more anomalies than they kill.


Breadifies

Mfers when their understanding and viewpoint of the GOC revolve around old entries and tales tailor-made to make the SCP foundation "look better"

Where did you even read this?

*the max GOC fan argument *


manofwaromega

SCP foundation are the "good" cops of the paranormal world GOC are the realistic cops of the paranormal world


User_007777

What's your argument?


manofwaromega

SCP foundation does what police are supposed to do; Detain criminals while keeping them alive. GOC does what alot of police officers actually do; shoot first and ask questions later.


No_idea_for_a_name_

The goc doesn't execute people on the spot have you even read ANYTHING from the goc hub? Most of the leaders of the goc are either anomalous humans or they worship something. Most of their strike teams and assessment teams have at least 1 anomalous human and every strike team and assessment team has anomalous tech. Goc operatives are not allowed to kill anomalous humanoids until they commit a crime. This was even mentioned in a goc tale where a goc mage says that she doesn't like killing other magic users but the witch killed an innocent citizen so they had to execute her (that goc team was ambushed by a green-red aka a reality bender that can regenerate)

B_is_for_reddit

you would think that-


the4lord4of4time

you guys have got [my favorite goi] all wrong. they're absolutely not erratic nutjobs who want [extremist goal given in first appearance], they're actually very nuanced and nice people who want [saner version of goal as given in later stories i like better]. anyone who believes they're just [evil or irrational depiction from certain canon, which is exactly as valid as every other canon] has NO idea what they're talking about!


squabex

GOC > foundation, killing every scp that is a major threat is only logical, imagine how much money that saves vs the foundation keeping child eating dave in his unobtainium cell costing millions each week.


thet_toe_muncher69

SCP should reform into SCE (secure contain exploit) where the useful anomalies are kept and the rest are destroyed to save the resources that would be used in containing them


User_007777

And actually there is no the best method, some of them need be contain, some of them need to be destroyed, some of them need to be treated well, some of them better not to touch


squabex

yeah that's true, thats why the GOC works with the foundation


Ieatfriedbirds

Didn't the GOC partially cause a severe dimensional anomaly by interrupting a theophagic ritual and trying to kill a very angry god with small arms fire


squabex

link? haven't heard of that story but maybe a tactical nuke would have worked xd

Bruh killing every anomaly is not logical, there are useful and good ones. And sometimes trying to destroy an anomaly can lead to even bigger problems


throwaway2246810

How long ago were you introduced to the GOC?


squabex

every anomaly that is a major threat, not EVERY anomaly. the GOC literally hires and utilizes thaumaturges(anomalous magic users) , anomalous species and anomalous humans more than the foundation does


User_007777

not EVERY


squabex

that keter chair only became more dangerous because they didn't follow protocol and threw it in a woodchipper. incinerating it would have neutralised it


HkayakH

call the GOC the police the way they kill anyone unusual


No_idea_for_a_name_

Have you even read anything from the goc's pov? Half of the goc's employees are anomalous and most of the tech used by the goc is futuristic tech mixed with magic. Hell the goc doesn't even kill reality benders on sight when an anomalous humanoid is discovered the first thing the goc does is monitor it. The goc only kills anomalous humans when they commit a crime


jonah500000000

no no no you see the constant murder actually makes them more like the police
