Clay sculpture culture is an emerging fan-circle subculture,which is recognized from a unique perspective against gender.Clay sculpture refers to the idol prototype as a template,on the basis of which fans arbitrarily fabricate the gender of the idol according to their own imagination,so that the male into female,female into male,to meet their own desires and experiences of gender diversity.Clay sculpture culture generally refers to the feminized male idols of fans.However,with the continuous appearance of female idols with neutral temperament on the screen,the public’s definition and views on female body and temperament are refreshed.Clay sculpture powder is no longer satisfied with focusing on beautiful male idols,and thinks that handsome girls are closer to their ideal type than men.Clay sculpture powder began to continuously masculine female idols,giving their unique gender imagination to female idols.This paper mainly studies the latter,the phenomenon of masculine female idols in clay sculpture culture.The research contents include the subversive gender imagination and reshaping of clay sculpture on female idols,the internal motivation of clay sculpture on female idols’ gender imagination,the social background under which the gender imagination of clay sculpture was born,and the limitations of gender imagination of clay sculpture powder.Finally,it puts forward what direction the gender imagination of clay sculpture powder should develop.This paper will use text analysis method to analyze and sort out the selected materials,and at the same time,combined with the interview method for further analysis,and the micro power theory and resistance theory of the famous scholar Michel Foucault as the basis for research.The clay sculpture powder imagines the female idol in a gender-reversed way,which is mainly manifested in four aspects.The first is the misappropriation of discourse,usually addressing female idols with male appellation,or expressing praise to female idols with male adjectives;The second is to screen out the dress of the female idol Kusa to satisfy the clay sculpture powder’s imagination of androgous temperament;The third is to use the means of editing to imagine and create the body of female idols for the second time.The fourth is to create diversified narrative texts,including traditional sweet text,abusive text and new ABO text to express the new gender world view.The reason why clay figurines have this unique gender imagination and world view is that,from a micro point of view,they have the gender consciousness of anti-discipline and the desire to possess power,as well as the dual psychology of inferiority and narcissism.From the macroscopic social background,clay sculpture powder is affected by the gender cross-pollination setting in film and television culture,the commercial economy of fan culture,the diversified gender concept and other factors.Although clay sculpture powder is synonymous with rebellion,it has particularly obvious limitations.In their gender imagination,they simply classify the unspeakable quality gender temperament as "masculinity",which contains hidden male worship and misogyny.At the same time,they also conceal femininity in imagination,obliteration women’s gender experience and fun,and cause confusion in gender cognition.Moreover,the clay sculpture powder rebelled for the sake of rebellion,indulging the desire with extreme eroticism,resulting in excessive objectification of the body and becoming an erotic prisoner.The clay figurines’ gender imagination of female idols is both radical and compromising.They have no established discourse to use when protesting,but can only borrow the old discourse.In order to reduce the influence of patriarchy,we can only create a unique female discourse mechanism,find the real gender subject,replace the imagined one with the real gender temperament,and write the individual gender traits while paying attention to the gender commonality of the group,so that gender can play its original fun,separate from the socialized and biological gender,and find the real survival aesthetics.And negotiate with the dominant gender culture.
