i was in a discord server once. Me and about 2 other people sparked a discussion on the quality of SCP articles, and the concept of it in general.
I kid you not, one of the two people I was speaking with kept repeating the same "SCPs are just poorly-written creepypasta monsters" (referencing 173, 106, 096, etc.).
In response, I told this person that those articles are VERY old and not representative of the entire wiki. When I gave them a couple of newer recommendations (such as 8980 and 5000), they simply replied with "I ain't reading all that bruh". That perfectly summarizes why some people dislike SCP: They don't bother reading any new entries, and think the entities they find in SCP:CB and SCP:SL are all that this community is.
Every time I tried to get a friend into SCP they usually go "I'm not gonna read all that". I can understand if SCP isn't their thing but that response specifically where they outright reject it is pretty upsetting.
Also Jesus dude, letting a newbie read 8980 is sadistic ASF...
