>>89571220We convince her to get a wageslave job for at least a month, with three months being the maximum she could theoretically endure. It would solidify her character, make her realize who she is and what her goals and priorities are and give her experience she so sorely needs. The experience of being a wageslave would of course be deeply unpleasant, depressing and it would increase her "mental darkness" as zoomers like to say. It would act as a trial by fire. During this hypothetical arc she'd continue to stream (of course) and we'd be there to offer emotional support and a willing ear to her lamentations. We would be her shoulder to cry on and the structure propping her up until she can stand by herself in any situation. The goal is to strengthen her foundations which are at this point weak or non-existent.
She has accomplished an important goal - socializing. She actually managed to make friends, have some fun at cons and so on. This was very important for her development and she really needed it, and I hope she continues to have fun and make friends that way despite her proclivity to trust dubious people like Kirsche. She needs to learn to navigate personal relationships as well, so I'm willing to see her get burned a few times. This cannot be avoided given her naive and trusting nature. She needs to learn how to trust, love, hate and judge people's character and that means she should continue to hang out with various people.
Why wageslaving? Why isn't streaming enough or the same, or easier, or harder? Those who know me know I have repeatedly and often stated that I do not consider vtubing easy, but there are fundamental differences between streaming and being a wageslave. Us, the audience, are fans and we are inclined to like/love the streamer and this is especially pronounced in vtubing since we are largely men watching women. This makes the chuuba the focal point and also the ultimate authority, both shielded and adored by us and at the same time able to exert almost total power over us. Any one of us can easily be solved by the chuuba with a ban. The chuuba holds all the cards. In a regular job this is completely inverted, and all power rests in the hands of the general public and the bosses. They're the ones running the show and you are the wageslave. This humble and debasing position will and does teach you many if not all things about yourself, people, the world. For Pippa to truly grow as a person she should experience this humility.
She is in an excellent position to do so, because it would still be in a controlled environment. She wouldn't rely on the job for money or to pay the bills, but as a test run, a willingly undertaken training arc, a long term investment into herself through the fires of the general public and retarded sons made into bosses. If it becomes unendurable or she starts to fall apart she can easily bail on it all and recuperate and that's a luxury few of us have. Her not having this basic job experience has given her wrong impressions about life and streaming, and other things. The goal isn't to make her into a normie or a wageslave, but to CREATE an entire internal structure in her emotional and psychological body that at this point just doesn't exist but is absolutely needed for a life of any kind. She needs this firm footing in reality. In the end it would make her into a better, stronger person with more insight into herself and the world and by proxy into a better streamer.
For Pippa to fulfill her true potential she must first find her true limit. This limit is psychological and emotional. A job can do that for her. Through testing of her limit she will find herself and know herself, and Pippa will learn to love, respect and accept herself.
