今日のボヤキは「親ガチャの真意」についてです。
昨年の流行語トップ10にも入った「親ガチャ」。
果たして本来の意味と今世間で使われている意味は乖離していないのでしょうか？

親ガチャ
ネット俗語で｢親を自分で選べないこと｣。出生に当たり､運しだいのガチャ（ソーシャルゲームやカプセル玩具自販機）を1回しか回せない状況をいう。
若者の社会や文化に詳しい､筑波大学の土井隆義教授（社会学）は｢この言葉は親を責める言葉ではなく､子が自分を守る言葉だ｣と指摘する。
土井教授によると､親ガチャはそもそも｢親から虐待されている若者たちが､生きづらさをポップに言い換えるための言葉だった｣という。｢虐待されている｣｢貧困に苦しんでいる｣とストレートに相手に伝えたら､重すぎる現実に相手が｢引いてしまう｣こともある。だから､｢親ガチャに外れた｣と伝えることで､相手の心理的負担を軽くして自分を受け入れてもらいやすくする。一方で､自分自身についても､｢この境遇は自分のせいではなく生まれた環境のせいだ｣と自己責任を回避できる｢優しい｣言葉だというのだ。
「親ガチャ」という言葉を聞いて、最初に浮かぶのはやはり負のイメージではないでしょうか？いくら頑張っても、遺伝的要素が半分を占めている為、努力には限界があると以前のブクログでも紹介しました。
しかし、世間で「親ガチャはずれ」というワードを使っているのは努力を怠り、自己の責任を他人に転嫁している人が多いように思います。
この記事にも書かれている「親ガチャ」の本来の使い方からは大きく逸れているようにも感じます。
確かに、生まれた時から親は決まっていて子供には選ぶことが出来ませんが、それでも鍛え方によっては強くなったり、経験値・スキル次第では強化できるということをゲームをしたことがある人なら実感するでしょう。
それと同じようにプレイ時間・どこに時間をかけるかによって良くも悪くも大きく変わると考えます。ランダム機能に頼らずに自力・もしくは友達・家族でパーティーを組んで立ち向かってみてはいかがでしょうか？

Today's blurbs
Today's blabbermouth is about "the true meaning of Oyagacha.
Oyagacha" was one of the top 10 buzzwords last year.
Is there really any divergence between the original meaning and the meaning used in the world today?

Oyagacha
In Internet slang, "not being able to choose one's own parents. It refers to a situation in which a child is born with only one chance to play a gacha (social game or capsule toy vending machine), which depends on luck.
Professor Takayoshi Doi, a sociology professor at Tsukuba University and an expert on youth society and culture, points out that "this term is not a term to blame parents, but a term for children to protect themselves.
According to Professor Doi, "Oyagacha was originally a term used by young people who were being abused by their parents to express their difficulties in life in pop culture. If you tell someone that they are being abused or that they are suffering from poverty, the reality may be too heavy for them to bear and they may "pull away. It is possible that they may "pull away. Therefore, by telling them that they are "out of the parental gutter," you lighten their psychological burden and make it easier for them to accept you. On the other hand, it is also a "kind" word that allows you to avoid self-responsibility for yourself, saying, "This circumstance is not my fault, but the environment in which I was born. This is a "kind" word that allows us to avoid self-responsibility for our own circumstances.
When you hear the term "parental mess," the first thing that comes to mind is still the negative image. No matter how hard you try, there is a limit to your efforts because the genetic factor accounts for half of your efforts, as I have mentioned in a previous blog.
However, I think that many people who use the word "parent mess" in the world are those who neglect to make efforts and shift their own responsibility to others.
It seems to me that this is a significant departure from the original use of "parental mess" as described in this article.
It is true that the parents are determined from birth and the child cannot choose, but anyone who has played games will realize that they can still become stronger depending on how they are trained and can be strengthened depending on their experience and skills.
In the same way, we believe that the time you spend playing and where you spend your time can make a big difference for better or worse. Why don't you try to face the game on your own or with a party of friends or family members instead of relying on the random function?
