SCP-1488-J

Item #: SCP-1488-J

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: There is currently no need to enact containment procedures for SCP-1488-J beyond constant automated surveillance of PoI-1488-J and the posts on his social media feed. Due to the nature of SCP-1488-J, a breach of containment in the form of mass public awareness of the anomaly is exceedingly unlikely and it would be a waste of Foundation resources to take further precautions considering the moderate popularity of PoI-1488-J as a public figure.

Description: SCP-1488-J refers to the hairline of an American male of Italian descent residing in Daytona Beach, Florida by the name of Charles Lawrence Reed1, who has been assigned the designation of PoI-1488-J. PoI-1488-J broadcasts regularly using the streaming service of the popular website Twitch2 YouTube and the content he provides to his audience has been deemed innocuous, failing to warrant digital censorship initiatives or apprehensions of his person conducted by the Foundation.

SCP-1488-J's anomalous properties manifest when an individual becomes cognizant of the fact that it is an abnormally situated hairline and that PoI-1488-J is experiencing male balding patterns. Upon first recognizing this as true, affected subjects invariably attempt to make an amusing remark deriding PoI-1488-J, either verbally or through digital messaging. Common examples of such remarks include comparisons of SCP-1488-J to the shape of the controller of the Nintendo 64 console and the McDonald's logo.

In rare instances (less than 1% of known cases), affected individuals will be compelled to create artistic works mocking PoI-1488-J for his unsightly visage and upload them to online platforms. Artistic mediums include song parodies, original video publications, and edited images that are publicly accepted to be no more than mundane internet memes.

The following are several examples of such artistic works. For ease of viewing, examples that include prominent themes of racism have been omitted.

Addendum 1488-J-01: SCP-1488-J was discovered by Dr. Greaves when casually browsing the internet, just barely detecting a shift in his perception and a memetic effect influencing his actions as he vocalized a snide comment as described above. When an image of SCP-1488-J was presented to Assistant Researcher Rachels without context, she made a similar jest. The anomalous properties of SCP-1488-J were confirmed when a series of trials upheld the impossibility of resisting the temptation to comment about SCP-1488-J across a wide variety of test subjects.

Addendum 1488-J-02: An Old School RuneScape player under the pseudonym of Arago has infamously appeared in a live broadcast by PoI-1488-J multiple times, professing anguish over his self-perceived mistreatment within the "Bathrobe Dwane" community and crying loudly into his microphone when it was announced that he would lose his moderator status in the public chatroom associated with the broadcast on one occasion. Whether the unhealthy idolization of PoI-1488-J apparent in this individual's behavior is related to exposure to SCP-1488-J is under investigation, although it is suspected that external influences are likely to have facilitated the formation of this detrimental mindset.
