这项研究探讨了澳大利亚的酷儿年轻人如何参与在线社区，以解决他们的边缘化和压迫问题。通过对在线论坛的分析和对14名参与者的深入采访，我们使用涂尔干的利己主义概念和残疾的社会模型来分析在线社区的作用和影响。调查结果表明，社区不仅为参与者提供了归属感，减少了他们的孤立经历，而且还将他们与促进政治参与的资源和网络机会联系起来。通过这种方式，在线社区成为年轻人了解并可能克服其自我主义和边缘化经历的空间。它帮助他们认识到，问题不在于他们，而在于异性恋的“社会”。在这样做的过程中，在线社区为年轻人提供了情感资源和社会资本，以解决他们的边缘化问题。
This study examines how queer young people in Australia are engaging in an online community to address their marginalisation and oppression. Drawing on an analysis of online forums and in-depth interviews with 14 participants, we use Durkheim's concept of egoism and the social model of disability to analyse the role and impact of the online community. The findings indicate that the community not only provides a sense of belonging for the participants and reduces their experiences of isolation, but also connects them to resources and networking opportunities that foster political participation. In this way, the online community operates as a space for young people to understand and potentially overcome their experiences of egoism and marginality. It helps them to reach the realisation that it is not them but the heteronormative ‘society’ that is the problem. In doing so, the online community provides young people with the emotional resources and social capital to do something to address their marginalisation.
