Calm-Internet-8983

Shit ass graphic only useful to people who are already familiar with the terms it's trying to describe. I got nothing out of it and I really tried... if I have to google the terms it uses I could just as well have googled the thing it's describing to begin with!!


SouperSoup551

/uh I have read two of the three books and I know of Kafkaesque: (also spoilers for decades old books lol) * Orwellian (based primarily off of *1984*): A centralized party that uses extensive surveillance, class division and distrust, and control of sexual freedoms to exert complete control of its subjects. The state uses bureaucratic powerhouses, a strongman leader (that might not be real), and a forever war (that *also* might not even be real) as tools to implement those three aims. (Also probably some influence from *Animal Farm* as well) * Huxleyan (based off of *Brave New World*): idk how the fuck the description on that term relates to *BNW* so I'll just run with this. ~~Hope I don't look like a dumbass,~~ Wait, I'm already posting on this sub (lol...). *Brave New World* describes a world government where people are segregated by birth based on intelligence, like a eugenicist's dream. Using reproductive control technologies, and hot topic 20th century psychology techniques like sleep learning and classical conditioning, a class hell is constructed between smarts and stupids. Like Orwell, sexual control is a big part of controlling society (though to prevent unconditioned children versus reducing freedom). (The book itself is around half setting up this nightmare world and half going off the rails into a nightmare scenario. I recommend giving it a read if you haven't already.) * Kafkaesque (based off of multiple works by Kafka, chiefly *The Trial*): A bureaucratic nightmare creates a dystopia by being so obtuse and muddy that it's impossible to understand why things are happening, leading to people being charged for crimes for reasons no one knows why. The agents don't know the crime, the accused doesn't know the crime, and it gets so confusing that crying in the fetal position from the absurd horror is all that's left to do. (One of my best friends is a huge Kafka fan. Worth a read, unless you want to avoid an existential crisis or mental damage of the sort.) * I don't know Phildickian, but I think it refers to the works of Philip K. Dick. That's the only hit I got when I searched his name. Wikipedia says that he was a science fiction writer, so it makes sense that the description mentioning holodecks belonged to him Honestly breaking down ruins the graphic even more haha stupid fucking literary terms lol haha (joke explainer) also 🤓🤓 /rh Orwellian and Huxleyan wouldn't apply because none of the people who see this meme were ever capable of having sex anyway


NewtonHuxleyBach

I've read BNW so I'll help. They're not separated based on intelligence *at birth*, they're mentally delayed by placing various amounts of alcohol into the fetus. The lower intelligence epsilons through gammas are then effectively cloned to create factories of identical humans. Calling it a class hell is a very reductive way of reading the book. It's debatable if the society is even dystopian, >!considering the existence of the island!< The book is really good and everyone should read it. Between Nineteen-Eighty-Four and Brave New World, the latter is far better.


SouperSoup551

Right. It's been so long since I've read that book that I got my wires crossed. Whoops. I really need to give it a re-read. Thanks for the help!


BanditNoble

/uh What's the difference between Huxleyan and Phildickian in simple terms? Disengagement seems like a cornerstone of Huxley's writing, so I'm not sure how that's specifically Phildickian. /rh Phil's dick!? 😱😱😱


KathaarianCaligula

/uh afaik these "types" of dystopias were just made up by the guy who made the original image and aren't actually proposed by any literary circle so do take the image with a grain of salt, Phildickian does sound like Huxleyan with a fresh coat of paint (one could even draw a lot of similarities between the Savage from BNW and the replicants from Dick's book)

Kesandunglamur

/uh What did she do?


Professional-Scar136

Well she is a communist. Thats pretty much everything, my brain just kinda remind me of her time to time as a fun fact


Kesandunglamur

Ah, I see. Well, it could've been worse (like grooming, exploiting artists, and what not). Edit: I just read the replies. Oh my fucking lord, I do not condone the act of supporting Putin and Vatniks. I just thought that she's only a leftist and that's all. So yes, I'm not gonna support those who thinks the occupation of Ukraine's territory as "justified" even in one bit.


StuckInGachaHell

uh/ She's not just a communist shes a tankie and thinks Ukraine deserves what they are getting because Russia says it's full of NAZIs


ShapedAssassin

I'll never understand why tankies simp for Russia, they haven't been communist in over 30 years and I'm pretty sure Putin said he doesn't even like communism


FMBoy21345

Tankies aren't really communist, they just hate anything le West and US does to the point they see Russia (and other states that hate the US) as saints

Not to make it all political but Mana lost me *hard* back in February 2022 for...February 2022-related reasons


EH042

I think you meant “capippalism” in the Huxleyan one


jsuey

Look imma just be real Does anyone have numbers for the revenue sharing of hololive? like in terms of paying creators? cuz im not convinced they were far off from their competitors.


iwantfutanaricumonme

It's a bit more complicated, they do take a similar cut from superchats but compared to nijisanji, for example, they take much less from merch sales while also providing a base salary that helps talents that aren't able to stream a lot or have smaller audiences. I don't think the actual numbers have much importance compared to how well they use that money to invest in and help talent, which they've obviously proven to be great at.


SheffiTB

It's never been confirmed, but their cut of superchat money is at most slightly off from niji's (YouTube takes 30%, company takes half of remainder so 35%, talent keeps 50%), but kson implied that merch cut is 50% in hololive (vs. 2% in nijisanji), and they get paid a livable wage as a base salary regardless of how much they stream.


jsuey

Right, and there’s still >memberships >ad revenue >talents have to pay to use studio >talents have to pay to record music >music revenue splits from Spotify/apple music? >festival convention appearances? Like off the top of my head Then there’s the matter of covers complete control over IP. The talents have virtually no ownership over who they are. It’s like they’re just voice actors who stream in character. Point is I don’t think working for hololive is the cakewalk people think it is, but it’s definitely the best I’ve seen in terms of work environments or streaming orgs. most streaming orgs just take a small percentage and don’t do anything for the talents.


Decepti-kun

You have to remember that the brand  recognition alone makes Holo the best deal on the industry. They could be taking 90% of super chat revenue and it would still be an improvement for an indie because of the sheer volume of supahs they’ll get for being in hololive.


jsuey

this is true, but does it make it fair?


toastycheeze

We cannot have a discussion of fairness without having the numbers on the table. If we're just basing on hypotheticals on this matter, we'll never get anywhere lol.


jsuey

Exactly it’s a silly thing to discuss, but after the shitstorm that happened with niji it’s sort of sent holobros into a honeymoon phase with cover


Decepti-kun

Cover runs a tight operation and I respect them. But they have their own skeletons in the closet - Hitomi Chris, Rushia, Aloe, Mel's harassment situation + termination. I'm still pissed that we never had a proper graduation to say goodbye to Vesper and Magni. Which isn't to say they're a bad employer. I just think that some holobros are becoming tribalists and think that Cover can do no wrong.


Decepti-kun

That, I don’t know. 


toastycheeze

> Point is I don’t think working for hololive is the cakewalk people think it is Who're the MFs that thinks like this? At the end of the day, they're still corporate, and there's a lot of work that contributed to their success today. We often joke "hololive wins by doing nothing" but we don't often hear other companies get slotted in for that meme. They're literally doing anything BUT nothing for their talents.


mrloko120

Not livable, minimum. Both Suisei and Kanata have talked about Holo giving them minimum wage on top of superchat earnings, minimum and livable are not quite the same thing. The merch percentage is not fixed, it depends on what the merch item is. Hololive tends to keep most of them split 50/50, idol usually goes for 60/40, niji has comically low split for general merch items, but keep digital goods like voice packs at 50/50. I don't know anything about the others tho.


Kesandunglamur

About that minimum wage, do you happen to have source for that (I just wanna check for myself)? Be it a clip (translated or not) or even better, the YouTube stream or Twitter space where they mentioned such topic.


mrloko120

There are a few instances when the girls brought it up, but it takes a little bit of digging to find since they get yelled at by management if they talk about it publicly. Here's a few clips. [Kanata talked about how much she made before getting monetized](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpw7b1qV3qw) [Coco and Kanata couldn't afford to eat out with Watame](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wrhLPTmMIGY&pp=ygUTQW1hbmUga2FuYXRhIGluY29tZQ%3D%3D) [Coco's reaction to her first paycheck](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mCJzQNw_zT0) They seem to have a rough time until youtube monetization kicks in. But once it does, they're good. That said, it's not a problem at all for the newer girls. Thanks to holo's current popularity they get so much publicity before even debuting that they've been getting monetized within the first month.
