Sekuyisikhathi eside amathoyizi e-Plush ebonakala njengamathoyizi ezingane, kodwa muva nje, kusukela ku-Ikea Shark, i-To Star lulu ne-Lulabelle, ne-jelly cat, i-fuddlewudjellycat yakamuva, isidumile ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Abantu abadala bawathanda kakhulu amathoyizi aluhlaza kunezingane. Eqenjini likaDougan elithi “Plush Toys Also Have Life,” abanye abantu bahamba nonodoli ukuze badle, baphile futhi bahambe, abanye bathatha onodoli abalahliwe, futhi abanye bababuyisela ukuze baphile okwesibili. Okubonakalayo, isizathu sokushisekela akukho ethoyizini ngokwalo, emehlweni abo, amathoyizi aluhlaza nawo anempilo, kodwa futhi anikezwe imizwelo efanayo nabantu.
Kungani laba bantu abadala bezifela ngamathoyizi kanokusho? Kunencazelo engokwesayensi: Izazi zokusebenza kwengqondo zibiza amathoyizi aluhlaza ngokuthi “izinto ezishintshayo,” ingxenye ebalulekile yokukhula kwengane. Njengoba izingane zikhula, ukuthembela kwazo kumathoyizi aluhlaza ngeke kwehle, kodwa kwande. Ucwaningo luphinde lwabonisa ukuthi ukuhlangana kwaleli qembu kanye nethoyizi lokunethezeka kusengabasiza laba bantu ukuthi bazijwayeze kangcono ukuphila ngisho sebekhulile.
Ukunamathela ngokomzwelo kanye nokwenza samuntu kwamathoyizi kanokusho akuyona into entsha, futhi ungakwazi ukulandelela okuhlangenwe nakho kwakho kwasebuntwaneni kakhulu noma ngaphansi kuya kokuhlangenwe nakho okufanayo. Kodwa manje, ngenxa yomphumela wokuhlangana komphakathi we-inthanethi, amathoyizi aluhlaza anthropomorphic asephenduke isiko, futhi ukuqhuma kwakamuva kwamathoyizi anombala afana noLulabelle kuphakamisa ukuthi kungase kube nokunye okwengeziwe kunalokho.
Amathoyizi e-Plush, iningi lawo anezimo ezithandekayo nezandla ezingacacile, ahambisana nezibaluli ezidumile zamanje "zamasiko amnandi". "Ukugcina" izilwane ezigxiliwe kunemiphumela efanayo yokuphulukisa yemvelo njengokugcina izilwane ezifuywayo. Nokho, uma kuqhathaniswa nezinga lokubukeka, umuzwa ongemuva kwethoyizi eliwubukhazikhazi uyigugu kakhulu. Ngaphansi kwejubane nengcindezi ephezulu yomphakathi wanamuhla, ubudlelwano bomzwelo sebuntekenteke kakhulu. Ngokusabalala "kokuphazamiseka komphakathi", ukuxhumana okuyisisekelo komphakathi kuye kwaba isithiyo, futhi kuba nzima kakhulu ukubeka ithemba elingokomzwelo kwabanye. Kulokhu, abantu kufanele bathole indawo yokunethezeka yemizwa eyengeziwe.
Kungokufanayo nakubantu bamaphepha abafunwa kakhulu esikweni lezinhlangothi ezimbili. Abakwazi ukwamukela ubuhlobo obungokomzwelo obungaphelele nobungavikelekile eqinisweni, abantu abaningi bakhetha ukubeka imizwa yabo ephepheni abantu abahlale bephelele. Phela, kubantu bephepha, imizwelo iba yinto ongayilawula, inqobo nje uma ufuna, ubuhlobo buyohlala buzinzile futhi buvikelekile, futhi ukuphepha kuqinisekisiwe. Ubuhlobo babonakala buvikeleke kakhulu lapho buxhunywe ethoyizini likanokusho elalibonakala futhi lithintwe kunalapho kuyiphepha elalingathintwa. Nakuba amathoyizi aluhlaza evame ukuba nomonakalo wemvelo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, asengakwazi ukunweba impilo yabathwali bemizwa ngokulungiswa njalo.
Amathoyizi e-Plush angasiza abantu abadala babuyele ebuntwaneni futhi bakhe umhlaba wezinganekwane empeleni. Asikho isidingo sokumangala noma ukumangala ukuthi abantu abadala abacabanga ukuthi isilwane esigxishiwe siyaphila, kodwa kuyikhambi lesizungu.
