Ngl this sounds too much like a reach, Mori's range isnt always that low and she even uses a higher pitched voice unatianable to anyone born a man without sounding too forced, if anything sometimes her wigger voice sounds like the tryhard one than the moments she makes it higher for muh gap moe
She has gotten superchats from "TransWomen" stating exactly what I said. It isn't a reach.
With proper training and experience they can get a higher voice than any girl's natural voice. Its uncanny.
In my particular case, I didn't get diagnosed til I had flunked out of college. I'm on the higher end of the bell curve (95+ percentile) so I zoomed through public high school with it being a complete joke. But as such, when I landed in a prestigious university, I discovered I had learned absolutely zero study skills throughout my entire life. And with an undiagnosed 'learning disorder' to contend with, I very quickly learned a 5-figure lesson in how unprepared I was for college. Smarts don't mean much if you have no fucking clue how to apply them.
But yea, a lot of Calli's habits suddenly make a lot of sense when viewed through the lens of "She's got ADHD". Not an excuse, exactly as you say. But definitely a modifies the way you view it all.
Yeah I was diagnosed early but hit a similar burnout. Completely dropped out of my country's equivalent to High School and just started taking Society's shit jobs since.
And I agree with your take on Calli. It doesn't excuse it, but it does explain it.
On corporations giving out equipment, it's not as easy to manage as you'd think.
If they give equipment: logistics aside, most contracts will state that any work done on company provided equipment belong to the company to cover their own interests. This would mean that employees have to watch what they do and if they want to do work for say another job/channel they'd need another computer. So then they'd need 2 PCs to cover all bases, 3 if they have a dual PC streaming setup.
If they give money: Is it considered personal property or company property? What if an Aloe happens? The talent would need to repay the stipend which they've now sunk into equipment so it's now out of pocket for them unless they can find some way to recoup the costs.
In either case there's also the issue of physical tech support. Only really works when the employees are in the same city as the company.
Employees buying their own gear: they can do whatever they want on them. No issues once a contract ends. They can get stuff repaired locally. This does mean that not everyone is on equal footing. Anyone that can afford the upfront costs for equipment will be in a better position that someone trying to stream from a laptop with a dollar store mic.
I've worked in company logistics, my solution would be leasing* for a set amount of time, after which the talent owns it. Covers Cover/Niji's ass incase of an Aloe and in a situation like Rushia they don't risk her ruining the PC to "get back at them". As for Tech Support, its PC's. There's no reason it would or should change just because Cover/Niji gave them PC's to use, send them in to repair from whichever retailer the PC was bought from.
So essentially what I suggest is that Cover/Niji buys any new member two new PCs. One setup for streaming, the other for gaming. Teaches them how to output gaming footage from the gaming PC to the streaming PC and that's that. The new member would be sysadmin of their new machines and could do whatever, but Cover owns the hardware. But they sign a contract that reads after the member has streamed for 3 months or something, the hardware will be theirs as well. And other stipulations like if they do anything to void the warranty its on them to pay for repairs.
*Obviously without a cost towards the girls.
But speaking of logistics, I will admit it'd be quite hard to keep something like this going with Holo going more and more international. Like if one of the Holostars is in Egypt and another in Moldova, the logistics of setting both up is a nightmare. But it'd be quite easy to work out a contract that'd benefit all parties.
