26岁的B站UP主梦格尔以《集合啦！动物森友会》游戏为创作工具，制作了一系列动画短片，通过《石头里的青春期》等作品触及亲子矛盾、校园霸凌、戒网瘾学校等青少年面临的现实问题[1]。这些视频在全平台获得超过千万的播放量，引发了数百万观众的共鸣[1]。
梦格尔在不到6平方米的工作间内进行创作，依靠游戏机作为主要的创作工具[1]。许多青少年在视频评论区和其粉丝群"小梦催更后台"（现已接收1558人）中分享自己的经历，获得心理支持和情感抚慰[1]。有粉丝因观看其视频而从天台走下，还有粉丝在考上北京大学后特意告诉梦格尔这个好消息[1]。
A 26-year-old content creator on Bilibili named Mengel has crafted a series of animated short films using Animal Crossing: New Horizons to explore the pressures faced by adolescents [1]. His signature work, Youth in Stone, has accumulated over 10 million views across platforms, resonating with millions of viewers [1].
Mengel's video series addresses multiple challenges confronting young people, including parent-child conflicts, school bullying, internet addiction treatment facilities, and parental neglect [1]. The emotional impact of his work extends beyond viewership numbers—in his fan community chat group, which now includes 1,558 members, teenagers have shared deeply personal experiences and found psychological support [1]. Some viewers have credited his content with profound life changes; one fan reportedly stepped back from a suicide attempt after watching his videos, while another reached out specifically to tell Mengel after being accepted to Peking University [1].
The creator produces this meaningful work within severely limited physical space, working in less than six square meters while using a gaming console as his primary creative tool [1]. Through this unconventional approach, Mengel has transformed a video game designed for relaxation into a platform for addressing the real anxieties and hardships that define the adolescent experience.
