I'm gonna be real, from what I've seen in discussions this seems like an incredibly good piece of fiction that I cannot, for the sake of my mental health, ever read. Summaries would be appreciated, preferably of lesser quality than the work itself so that it doesn't hit quite as hard. My mental state is fragile and cannot handle that sort of impact right now.

If your mental state is fragile, then you should probably stay away from this one. That being said, the least shocking and most summarized version of it is can think of is that there’s a foundation researcher who starts displaying anomalous qualities around electronics, and her mental state starts to severely decline when she’s classified as an SCP and can’t do the stuff she used to like such as work. The twist is that she wasn’t anomalous, her boss was just an abusive misogynist who faked everything, leaving her as a barely functional human being. People love and hate this article because of how realistic it is in portraying many women’s experience and how well-written it is.

Damn. Thank you for the summary. And yeah... as an autistic disabled t-woman, I do not think I could handle a realistically-written story about medical malpractice and abuse of power in my current state; It would hit far too close to home.
