    Hello everyone, I am Anthony
  • 00:00:02
    Welcome to my channel
  • 00:00:04
    Today's video
  • 00:00:05
    Let's talk about a kind of
  • 00:00:07
    Internet subculture
  • 00:00:08
    It's a diaper narrative
  • 00:00:10
    I believe everyone still remembers
  • 00:00:11
    In our video on December 21st
  • 00:00:14
    Mentioned general studies
  • 00:00:15
    It is becoming increasingly popular among young people in China
  • 00:00:18
    General academic requirements
  • 00:00:20
    Learn to accept and get used to your own ordinariness
  • 00:00:23
    Eliminate competition and comparison
  • 00:00:25
    Psychological pressure on individuals
  • 00:00:27
    But we said
  • 00:00:29
    Ordinary learning attempts to eliminate
  • 00:00:31
    One's pursuit of transcendence
  • 00:00:33
    In exchange for some kind of false reconciliation of the soul
  • 00:00:36
    However, general studies itself
  • 00:00:37
    Still limited by the logical framework of success studies
  • 00:00:40
    It is still the default
  • 00:00:41
    The legitimacy of the secular evaluation system is premised on
  • 00:00:44
    Therefore, this kind of peace of mind is fragile and false
  • 00:00:48
    True reconciliation
  • 00:00:49
    It is not about giving up the pursuit of universality and transcendence.
  • 00:00:52
    But to realize
  • 00:00:53
    Transcendence advocated by mainstream society
  • 00:00:56
    Maybe it's just a false transcendence
  • 00:00:58
    Therefore, we must pursue true spiritual liberation
  • 00:01:01
    It means that we need to touch upon social reality
  • 00:01:03
    To criticize and deconstruct those false excellences
  • 00:01:06
    Finally, a truly universal evaluation system will be established
  • 00:01:10
    at this point
  • 00:01:10
    The same applies to many Chinese people's mental phenomena
  • 00:01:14
    For example, the Diaosi culture that has been popular in Chinese society for a long time
  • 00:01:17
    If ordinary learning is achieved by emphasizing one's own ordinariness
  • 00:01:20
    To relieve the pressure brought by success studies
  • 00:01:22
    Then the diaosi culture
  • 00:01:23
    Through more intense self-deprecation
  • 00:01:26
    Self-mockery
  • 00:01:27
    To mock and resist mainstream values
  • 00:01:31
    Therefore, it has a more far-reaching impact than ordinary studies.
  • 00:01:34
    certainly
  • 00:01:35
    There is a lot to talk about on this topic
  • 00:01:37
    Today's video
  • 00:01:39
    Let’s first briefly talk about the evolution of Diaosi culture
  • 00:01:42
    If you are interested in today's video
  • 00:01:45
    Or you have any idea
  • 00:01:46
    Topics for discussion and consultation with me
  • 00:01:48
    You can contact my email to make an appointment
  • 00:01:51
    Let's get back to our topic today.
  • 00:01:54
    First of all, let’s talk about Diaosi culture
  • 00:01:56
    Refers to such an online subculture:
  • 00:01:59
    Individuals use negative, derogatory
  • 00:02:01
    Even insulting names
  • 00:02:03
    As a symbol of self-referentiality and self-naming
  • 00:02:06
    With these symbols
  • 00:02:07
    People established
  • 00:02:08
    A subculture space that is separate from mainstream culture
  • 00:02:11
    And through constant self-deprecation on the Internet
  • 00:02:13
    To achieve catharsis and carnival
  • 00:02:15
    Diaosi culture can be traced back to 2011
  • 00:02:18
    Baidu Tieba's Li Yi Bar
  • 00:02:19
    In the online war of words at that time
  • 00:02:21
    Other netizens coined the term “diaosi”
  • 00:02:23
    This insulting name
  • 00:02:25
    Come and attack Li Yi's members
  • 00:02:27
    But the members of Li Yi Bar
  • 00:02:28
    But he gladly accepted it
  • 00:02:30
    And call myself a diaosi
  • 00:02:31
    Not only that
  • 00:02:32
    They also created or summarized a series of
  • 00:02:35
    Highly related Internet slang
  • 00:02:37
    For example, "fat and round" and "short, ugly and poor"
  • 00:02:40
    "Tall, rich and handsome" and "goddess" etc.
  • 00:02:42
    In the symbolic system represented by Diaosi culture
  • 00:02:44
    The whole society is exaggeratedly divided into
  • 00:02:47
    Two groups that are clearly divided into two opposite groups
  • 00:02:49
    Economic class
  • 00:02:51
    Physical characteristics
  • 00:02:53
    Closely integrated
  • 00:02:54
    The powerful class is beautiful and rich
  • 00:02:57
    The disadvantaged class are short, poor and ugly.
  • 00:03:01
    Because this symbol system is simple and crude
  • 00:03:03
    But it's very empty
  • 00:03:05
    On the contrary, it can arouse
  • 00:03:07
    Chinese netizens generally have
  • 00:03:08
    Relative deprivation and weakness
  • 00:03:10
    More and more netizens call themselves "diaosi"
  • 00:03:12
    In this weird self-mockery
  • 00:03:14
    And grassroots black humor
  • 00:03:16
    Diaosi culture quickly became popular
  • 00:03:19
    Even became
  • 00:03:19
    An underlying logic of various online subcultures in China
  • 00:03:22
    Judging from the various popular online memes in recent years
  • 00:03:25
    We can observe a common pattern:
  • 00:03:28
    The individual, in a self-deprecating, self-surrendering
  • 00:03:30
    Mental failure method to express yourself
  • 00:03:33
    Powerlessness and dilemma in social structures
  • 00:03:36
    Gaining a brief emotional catharsis and identity recognition at the same time
  • 00:03:40
    For example, in recent years, the test-takers and workers
  • 00:03:43
    Rats, cows, horses, NPCs, etc.
  • 00:03:46
    NPC originally refers to the
  • 00:03:48
    Game characters that are not controlled by the player
  • 00:03:50
    These characters are different players all day long
  • 00:03:53
    Saying the same words
  • 00:03:54
    Doing the same action
  • 00:03:56
    Serve the game plot and players as a supporting role
  • 00:03:59
    Later it was extended to mean worthless and insignificant.
  • 00:04:03
    People whose lives are monotonous
  • 00:04:04
    For example, some netizens said
  • 00:04:06
    My daily life is boring
  • 00:04:08
    It's all in the process
  • 00:04:10
    But like an NPC, you must be on call at any time
  • 00:04:13
    Everyone started to question the NPC
  • 00:04:15
    After being beaten, I understood the NPC
  • 00:04:18
    Inevitably become an NPC in the end
  • 00:04:21
    Similar to Diaosi culture
  • 00:04:23
    NPC culture uses game metaphors
  • 00:04:25
    Expresses the individual's response to mechanization,
  • 00:04:28
    Programmatic and instrumental dissatisfaction
  • 00:04:31
    Another popular internet term: "Test-taker"
  • 00:04:33
    This reflects more on the students of China's famous universities.
  • 00:04:36
    The structure and humor of the college entrance examination narrative after the reform and opening up
  • 00:04:39
    The term "test-taker" originally referred to
  • 00:04:42
    Good at getting high scores in China's exam-oriented education system
  • 00:04:44
    But people who lack social skills
  • 00:04:47
    This is obvious
  • 00:04:47
    It is also an insulting and sarcastic name.
  • 00:04:50
    But more and more Chinese college students
  • 00:04:52
    Call yourself this
  • 00:04:53
    Joined this self-deprecating ritual
  • 00:04:56
    In 2020, the Douban group "985 Waste Import Plan" was established
  • 00:05:00
    Most of the team members graduated from famous Chinese universities
  • 00:05:03
    But they all call themselves trash, test-takers
  • 00:05:06
    "Waste" is a homophone of "five"
  • 00:05:09
    If the test taker
  • 00:05:10
    Expresses the deconstruction and ridicule of the college entrance examination narrative
  • 00:05:13
    Then the "small town test-taker"
  • 00:05:14
    Then attached
  • 00:05:15
    Hidden dissatisfaction with rural-urban inequality
  • 00:05:17
    And my efforts to pass the college entrance examination
  • 00:05:19
    Getting rid of the frustration of being a small town person
  • 00:05:22
    for
  • 00:05:22
    Many students come from small towns or rural areas
  • 00:05:25
    The college entrance examination is often seen as the only way to change one's destiny.
  • 00:05:29
    However
  • 00:05:29
    This path was adopted in the early days of reform and opening up.
  • 00:05:31
    Might have brought some fair chances
  • 00:05:34
    However, at the moment
  • 00:05:35
    Many people feel
  • 00:05:36
    Even if I stand out in the college entrance examination
  • 00:05:39
    Out of town
  • 00:05:40
    Still aware of family background and urban-rural gaps
  • 00:05:43
    Impact on personal growth
  • 00:05:46
    As Anne LaRue, a sociology professor in the United States
  • 00:05:48
    In "Unequal Childhoods":
  • 00:05:51
    The American middle class,
  • 00:05:53
    Working class and poor families
  • 00:05:55
    Different ways of raising children
  • 00:05:58
    Middle-class families adopt collaborative education
  • 00:06:01
    It manifests itself in the daily lives of family members
  • 00:06:04
    Use language extensively for reasoning and conversation
  • 00:06:06
    This not only greatly improves children's vocabulary
  • 00:06:09
    It also helps children become familiar with
  • 00:06:11
    How to deal with adults
  • 00:06:13
    As a result, children are more likely to
  • 00:06:16
    Put yourself on an equal footing with adults
  • 00:06:18
    and often judge the adults around them
  • 00:06:21
    This ability
  • 00:06:22
    Easier to gain recognition from mainstream American society
  • 00:06:24
    and become a popular cultural capital
  • 00:06:26
    Working class families or poor families
  • 00:06:29
    It is easier to adopt a natural growth strategy
  • 00:06:31
    Within these families
  • 00:06:33
    There are usually no long discussions, consultations, or dialogues.
  • 00:06:36
    The words are relatively short and simple
  • 00:06:39
    Language is just a
  • 00:06:40
    Practical skills for everyday life
  • 00:06:42
    Rather than cultivating reasoning and abstract thinking
  • 00:06:46
    Therefore, children from working class families
  • 00:06:48
    More likely to have a relatively relaxed and leisurely childhood
  • 00:06:51
    Although
  • 00:06:51
    The social environments in the United States and China are very different
  • 00:06:54
    For example, middle-class families in China
  • 00:06:56
    There is no emphasis on dialogue and reasoning.
  • 00:06:59
    Workers and poor families
  • 00:07:00
    Children do not have a leisurely and relaxed childhood
  • 00:07:03
    But the disadvantaged groups
  • 00:07:04
    A state of being excluded by mainstream rules and order
  • 00:07:06
    are interlinked
  • 00:07:08
    for example
  • 00:07:08
    Children from poor families in the United States
  • 00:07:10
    When you grow up, you will feel a sense of embarrassment.
  • 00:07:13
    Feeling that you are not good at negotiating and communicating with others
  • 00:07:16
    and the ability to express one's ideas clearly
  • 00:07:19
    This is different from many students who call themselves small town test-takers.
  • 00:07:22
    To the original family
  • 00:07:23
    And reflections on my own social phobia, sensitivity, and inferiority complex
  • 00:07:26
    is similar
  • 00:07:28
    Due to the universality of this phenomenon
  • 00:07:30
    The joke about the test-taker quickly became popular
  • 00:07:32
    Including a large number of college students from non-famous universities
  • 00:07:34
    Also started using "QuestionMaster"
  • 00:07:36
    As one's own identity
  • 00:07:38
    If we talk about the joke of the test-taker
  • 00:07:40
    It reflects the sense of powerlessness towards the involution of the education system.
  • 00:07:43
    So the two words "working people" and "cows and horses"
  • 00:07:45
    It mainly refers to workplace oppression
  • 00:07:48
    The original meaning of "working" refers to physical labor, hard work
  • 00:07:52
    The knowledge and skills that white-collar workers engage in
  • 00:07:54
    Office work
  • 00:07:56
    There is a sharp contrast
  • 00:07:57
    But playing the working man joke on the Internet
  • 00:08:01
    It is mainly white-collar workers
  • 00:08:03
    Rather than those
  • 00:08:03
    Workers who really do heavy physical labor
  • 00:08:06
    There is a deliberate degradation and deconstruction here.
  • 00:08:09
    In China
  • 00:08:10
    Many companies and bosses will use various methods
  • 00:08:12
    To emphasize the beauty of the work itself
  • 00:08:14
    and sacred meaning
  • 00:08:16
    Emphasize the professionalism, professionalism and importance of the work content
  • 00:08:19
    And use this to require employees to have elite consciousness,
  • 00:08:22
    Ownership
  • 00:08:23
    You need to have a sense of mission and belonging to the company.
  • 00:08:26
    At the same time, those employees who do not agree with this culture
  • 00:08:29
    Defined as not striving for progress
  • 00:08:31
    Lack of vision and fighting spirit
  • 00:08:33
    The "working people" stalk is
  • 00:08:35
    Completely stripped of these packaging and attached halos
  • 00:08:38
    Make your white-collar job
  • 00:08:40
    Equated with repetitive and boring hard work
  • 00:08:42
    To satirize the mechanical, meaningless and exploitative nature of labor
  • 00:08:46
    And call themselves "cow horses"
  • 00:08:48
    It is a profound self-mockery
  • 00:08:50
    That is to say, it implies that one is being objectified in the workplace.
  • 00:08:53
    Alienation and Dehumanization
  • 00:08:54
    Seen only as a tool to get the job done
  • 00:08:57
    Another more abstract
  • 00:08:58
    Even more insulting is calling yourself "rat"
  • 00:09:02
    Some netizens compared themselves to mice.
  • 00:09:04
    Can only live in a dark corner
  • 00:09:07
    My parents are rat dad and rat mom
  • 00:09:10
    Mouse Literature
  • 00:09:11
    Usually starts with the sentence "Mouse, I am"
  • 00:09:13
    Expressing the state of being destroyed by life
  • 00:09:16
    for example
  • 00:09:16
    A netizen said
  • 00:09:18
    I worked hard and got into a second-tier university.
  • 00:09:20
    But relatives still look down on Shushu
  • 00:09:22
    Some netizens also said
  • 00:09:23
    I was exploited by my boss during my internship.
  • 00:09:26
    Can't find a good job
  • 00:09:27
    Let the rat parents be disappointed
  • 00:09:30
    With the test taker
  • 00:09:30
    This name is limited to the field of education.
  • 00:09:33
    The name "rat" is more vague
  • 00:09:36
    The pain it refers to is also more widespread.
  • 00:09:39
    It can call itself
  • 00:09:41
    It can also be extended to people who are close to you.
  • 00:09:44
    For example, parents
  • 00:09:45
    therefore
  • 00:09:45
    "Rat" often implies the younger generation
  • 00:09:48
    The powerlessness and painful experiences shared with parents
  • 00:09:51
    It is also a kind of intergenerational pain.
  • 00:09:53
    Metaphor of identity dilemma and social oppression
  • 00:09:56
    Through the above discussion
  • 00:09:57
    We can see
  • 00:09:59
    Over the past decade
  • 00:10:00
    Diaosi literature is not dead
  • 00:10:02
    Instead, it has been greatly developed and spread
  • 00:10:06
    At first, the term "Diaosi"
  • 00:10:07
    Just an all-encompassing self-deprecating label
  • 00:10:10
    No distinction has been made between different areas of pain
  • 00:10:13
    As China's social involution intensifies
  • 00:10:16
    Diaosi narrative in the workplace, education,
  • 00:10:18
    Original family and other fields
  • 00:10:20
    A more refined differentiation
  • 00:10:22
    Demonstrated its great vitality
  • 00:10:25
    Faced with these deconstructions and jokes
  • 00:10:27
    There are two main responses from the mainstream order.
  • 00:10:30
    First, direct suppression and preaching
  • 00:10:32
    The second is to appease, beautify and incorporate
  • 00:10:35
    for example
  • 00:10:35
    People's Daily Online: "Small town test-takers are also extraordinary"
  • 00:10:38
    Then he said:
  • 00:10:39
    “Small town test-taker” is definitely not a self-deprecating term!
  • 00:10:42
    It is more like a belief of most young people.
  • 00:10:45
    An affirmation of "knowledge changes destiny"
  • 00:10:48
    It is today's society
  • 00:10:49
    Every "ordinary person" who desires to change his fate
  • 00:10:51
    Synonyms for
  • 00:10:53
    Everyone who pursues their dreams should be encouraged
  • 00:10:55
    Rather than being ridiculed
  • 00:10:56
    Not all stars like to hang in the night sky
  • 00:10:59
    Not all rivers flow to the sea
  • 00:11:02
    The word "success"
  • 00:11:04
    In the 21st century, China has never been "defined"
  • 00:11:07
    This official rhetoric
  • 00:11:09
    On the surface, it affirms the self-improvement spirit of the individual
  • 00:11:11
    But in fact
  • 00:11:12
    It is a rather false and cold positivity.
  • 00:11:16
    Through sentimental and poetic language
  • 00:11:18
    The official reality of the individual
  • 00:11:20
    Packaged as a romanticized struggle story
  • 00:11:23
    Create an illusion of warmth
  • 00:11:25
    Without touching at all
  • 00:11:26
    The root causes of these difficulties and social contradictions
  • 00:11:29
    Another example is this article from Beijing Youth Daily
  • 00:11:32
    "Behind the self-deprecation of workers lies tenacity and struggle"
  • 00:11:34
    Also said:
  • 00:11:35
    It’s a good thing for young people to complain about their workplace
  • 00:11:39
    Realize that we are all workers
  • 00:11:41
    Helps eliminate professional contempt chain
  • 00:11:43
    Don't look down on anyone.
  • 00:11:44
    This shows that professional prejudice is slowly disappearing
  • 00:11:48
    This is complete nonsense.
  • 00:11:50
    The official hopes
  • 00:11:52
    The forces of resistance and criticism
  • 00:11:54
    Transformed into an entertainment
  • 00:11:56
    Even positive energy
  • 00:11:58
    However, fundamentally
  • 00:11:59
    Diaosi Narrative
  • 00:12:00
    Indeed, I do not have insight
  • 00:12:02
    and the ability to deconstruct official discourse
  • 00:12:05
    after all
  • 00:12:05
    A person has admitted that he is a loser.
  • 00:12:08
    Acquiescing to the authority of the secular system
  • 00:12:10
    It will be more difficult for him to have strength and confidence
  • 00:12:12
    To deconstruct those things that permeate education,
  • 00:12:15
    Ideology in the media and policy
  • 00:12:17
    So we say
  • 00:12:18
    This self-deprecating carnival
  • 00:12:20
    Although there is some resistance
  • 00:12:22
    But this resistance should not be overestimated.
  • 00:12:24
    It just stops at some kind of emotional catharsis.
  • 00:12:27
    Therefore, it is easy to be
  • 00:12:28
    The mainstream order is incorporated, utilized and transformed
  • 00:12:31
    Become a harmless existence that does not touch the structure
  • 00:12:34
    We will continue to discuss this topic in the next episode.
  • 00:12:38
    That’s all for today’s video.
