An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it.
This series follows the lives of certain individuals like Marion Wheeler in their interactions with antimemetic anomalies while working within the antimemetic division of the SCP Foundation.

Precursor work
These articles aren't specifically part of the main Antimemetics Division storyline above, but they influenced its development in various ways.
- SCP-033 by Mulciber. SCP-3125 has a close connection to this number.
- Revenants by Photosynthetic. Like There Is No Antimemetics Division, this uses SCP-055 as a launching point, but takes it in a different direction.
- SCP-1425 by Silberescher. This was a massive influence on the writing of Unforgettable, That's What You Are, Ojai, and all of it really.
- SCP-2828 by ooblex. One of the earliest antimemetic SCPs outside of SCP-055, later referenced in CASE COLOURLESS GREEN.
- SCP-2358 by HotCocoaNerd. Introduces the Counterconceptual Division, later referenced several times in What the Dead Know.
