摘要
作为一名酷儿、瘸子、性别不稳定、散居的菲律宾学者、活动家和教育家,我的祖先、社区和我生活在多个压迫和抵抗地点的交叉点上。作为一个患有疾病、残疾和神经分化的人,我在大流行之前经历了焦虑、抑郁和慢性身心疼痛,在大流行期间甚至更多。任天堂Switch的《Animal Crossing New Horizons》(ACNH)电子游戏让我在不确定的时期度过了难关。ACNH为我打开了一个全新的另类世界。当我逃到我那风景优美、平静的虚拟岛屿时,我冥想得更多了。当我在游戏中钓鱼、捉蝴蝶、听着平静的海浪撞击时,我更加放松。在我的《ACNH》虚拟游戏中构建我的梦想世界有助于我生存下来,并与其他病人、残疾人、神经分化者、酷儿、变性人、黑人、土著和/或有色人种(BIPOC)朋友建立更深厚的友谊。ACNH成为我们社交的一种安全方式,它仍然是我们许多人快乐的源泉。我强调我在ACNH的经历是如何让我培养酷儿、瘸子和非殖民化的菲律宾卡普瓦梦想世界的,在那里,包括人、动物、土地、水和空气在内的所有生物都在一起茁壮成长。
Surviving and Thriving: Queer Crip Pilipinx Kapwa Dream Worlds in Animal Crossing New Horizons
As a queer, crip, genderfluid, and diasporic Pilipinx scholar-activist-educator, my ancestors, communities, and I live at the intersections of multiple sites of oppression and resistance. As someone who is sick, disabled, and neurodivergent, I experienced anxiety, depression, and chronic bodymind pain before the pandemic and even more during the pandemic. Nintendo Switch's Animal Crossing New Horizons (ACNH) video game kept me afloat during uncertain times. ACNH opened up a whole new alternative universe for me to live in. I meditated more when escaping to my scenic and calming virtual island. I relaxed more when fishing, catching butterflies, and hearing the tranquil ocean waves crash within the game. Building my dream world within my ACNH virtual game contributed to me surviving and fostering deeper friendships with fellow sick, disabled, neurodivergent, queer, transgender, Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color (BIPOC) friends. ACNH became a safe way for us to socialize and it continues to be a source of joy for many of us. I highlight how my experiences with ACNH allowed me to cultivate queer, crip, and decolonial Pilipinx Kapwa dream worlds where all beings including people, animals, land, water, and air thrive together.
