Is the Technology-Accelerated Self-Governance of Otaku Feasible?——Insights from MiHoYo's "Tech Otaku Saves the World"on the Governance of Nijigen Design
The"mechanical bride"by McLuhan prophesied the fusion of sex and technology,foreshadowing today's otaku culture.The otaku and the nijigen(two-dimensional realm)represent a technologically accelerated"man-machine love",where the nijigen serves as the medium for the development of the"mechanical bride"following Moore's Law,as well as the rapidly iterating post-human fantasies within the otaku community.The negative externalities of nijigen stem from the distorted one-dimensional relationship between humans and technology,a consequence of the rapid pace of technological advancement.To break free from technological monopolies,otaku must embrace the role of tech-otaku and establish mutually constructive,co-evolving two-dimensional relationships with their"mechanical bride".MiHoYo,in their"love-dirven innovation"tech otaku model,incorporates modules of power and capital,significantly accelerating the technological development of the nijigen medium.They view the technopoly of nijigen medium as fuel for technological acceleration,transforming the negative externalities of nijigen into positive ones.The MiHoYo model demonstrates that tech otaku may serve as patches for technological accelerationism,as they inherently possess a political agenda that surpasses capitalism—producing and creating out of love,for love.By returning to the role of digital craftsmen,the otaku community can"save themselves"while in the process of"saving the world",achieving self-governance by otaku themselves.
