So Neet life has turn me a puppy /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\
I’m sending this to my BF. I’m pretty sure he will agree. I’m his cuddly puppy after all
i’m unemployed, can i get people to come home and play games with me?
Step 1: Be as cute as a puppy
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
As someone who has been unemployed and looking for work as well as picking up any side work possible, They can go fuck themselves for such a shitty comment.
Yeah, there’s been a lot of these very… saccharin posts here lately going “I’m not a human being with all the complexity that entails, I’m just a wittle bitty babby. I’m just a cutesy wutesy kitten! I poopy in a box and I’m all fuzzily! How could you be mad at me or hold me accountable for anything when I’m a little puppy dog? Look how cute I am when I get all chewy with your shoes! Oopsie woopsy, I tore the couch to shreds, but you can’t be upset for it when I’m just a puppy!”
I can understand it if it’s a sex or a fetish thing. I can understand it if it’s a furry “this is how I self identify” or an alter ego sort of thing (I’m admittedly not very well versed in the whole furry culture stuff, apologies if I worded that poorly).
I can also understand the desire for escapism from the crushing weight of all of life’s troubles, which I think these are ultimately an expression of, mixed with wanting someone to treat you in the sort of sweet and loving way people should treat pets. “I just want someone to take care of me and all this life stuff for me so I can just… be. I want people to have patience with me when I mess up because I’m doing my best. I want someone to love me for just existing.”
But pretending to be a cutesy little pet isn’t going to help lessen the weight of the world, it’ll all still be there just getting heavier until you decide to start being a fully fledged person trying to deal with it again.
It’s also potentially degrading to people not in on this whole “cutesy pet” schtick who are struggling their way through life’s problems. See the comment I replied to. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable response from someone actively struggling through shit.
Ultimately I can’t believe this “kittyboy/puppygirl” stuff is a healthy coping mechanism for life’s problems. Temporary escapism, maybe, but that’s not healthy if that’s all you’re doing.
Anyway, that’s my great big entirely unasked for opinion.
Bad kitty
Dude nobody asked for your opinion
Ah yes public forums on the internet. The place where everyone asks first before giving their opinion.
I remember being unemployed. I sank into the kind of depression that prevents you from killing yourself only by virtue of being unable to get up.

So funny for a vtuber to call anyone else unemployed
Fun fact: professionally performing, recording, and editing content is work.
Just because they’re self-publishing doesn’t mean they’re not producing and publishing a product.
False. Trying to act “cute” while yapping on a screen all day, while 10% of the time you’re doing minor VOD sound editing to remove copyright tracks does NOT count as work.
Bad angle to convince anyone of anything there. What you should be saying instead is that everyone should strive to live in a society where that amount of work/effort is enough to subsist.
Athletes just run. That’s not work.
Musicians just strum some chords on a guitar. That’s not work.
News reporters just yap on a screen all day. They don’t even do any video editing so they work even less. Same with actors and comedians.
Programmers and game designers just click buttons on a keyboard all day. Not work.
Factory workers just pull levers and move stuff around. Not work.
Mechanics just screw some stuff in here and there. Not work.
Da Vinci just scribbled on a ceiling all day. Not work.
It’s amazing how easy it is to dismiss a whole profession when you misrepresent what they actually do.
Work (noun): providing a product or service in exchange for financial or equivalent remuneration
You can say what you will about the relative quality, difficulty, or worth of “yapping on a screen all day”, but it is unquestionably work and discounting it as not work is directly against your stated aim of “everyone should strive to live in a society where that amount of work/effort is enough to subsist.”
Just because you think it’s shit doesn’t mean they’re not working.
Does a farmer not work just because his crops turned out low quality?
There’s an argument to be made about the correlation between quality of work and quality of results as well, but that still means they’re working
The work done is entertainment. Whether it entertains you, specifically, is not the point. We can disagree all we want with the quality of the content or the work itself, but some work is being done
Vtubers are basically the digital version of the people playing an instrument at the street corner for money. They are just kinda there and people just kinda watch them. Some of them are talented, some of them really arent.
