The Self-presentation Mechanism Of MSM Wechat Community From The Perspective Of Ecological Identity Theory

The plight of homosexuals begins with the contradiction of identity,including self-identity and social identity.For gay individuals,their own clear gender orientation and sexual orientation is the premise of clear understanding,presenting themselves and getting rid of the dilemma of "self lost".Homosexual groups,cultural social identity or mainstream gender,sexual orientation value tendency and evaluation through homosexual self-cognition to exert pressure,resulting in psychological tension,behavior anomie.After the individual of homosexuality has a clear understanding of his own situation,the contradiction of identity is mainly reflected in the subjective will represented by psychological tendency,moral evaluation and ethics.The game between the social identity represented by norms.Combined with the related discussion of the concept of identity and the identity characteristics of homosexuals,this paper defines the self-identity of gay men as the individual who perceives the important other.Parents,etc.)the overall impression of their own way of life(sexual orientation as the main form of expression),the evaluation and formation of emotion,judgment process.After going through several stages,such as QQ chat room,portal forum,exclusive social APP and so on,the online social interaction of the gay community has been successively established by using the function of WeChat software,such as emotional exchange support,out of cabinet counseling,and making friends within the community.Strengthen communication with parents for the purpose of regional WeChat Moments network community.In this paper,after combing the contents of interviews with members in the WeChat community of gay men in Chongqing,we find that the establishment of WeChat community is an attempt and fantasy for gay men to create the exclusive "safe haven bay" for gay men.And try to use the logic of "mutual understanding" and "mutual support" and "mutual identity".Creating the group cognition and emotion of "pride" inside,and obtaining the legitimacy of this identity culture representing the whole cultural characteristics of homosexuality,so as to bring together the collective strength of gay men.Resisting the oppression of heterosexual orthodoxy and patriarchal system.The process of "pride" and consciousness shaping is not only an attempt by homosexual subculture to resist mainstream cultural oppression,but also a process of hegemony over other peers.As a result of the remarginalization of other members of the marginalized group,homosexuality has to deal with not only the oppression of mainstream culture,but also the "homophobia" brought about by "pride" cultural hegemony within the group.Righteousness is "suffering".The suppression of the hegemony in the community,the desire to identify with the important other such as father,and the entanglement of the choice of marriage in WeChat community increased the inner pressure of the identity recipient of the gay individual,which was the main factor affecting their self-identity.The first part mainly examines the historical context of the development of the gay online community,the change of tools corresponding to the change of demand,the reasons for the establishment of WeChat community,and the purpose.The author finds that the development of gay online social intercourse has experienced QQ chat room successively.Exclusive software socializing,regional WeChat community socializing three stages,this kind of development trend has manifested the combination between the evolution of the individual social demand and the development of the media function,and the new community social intercourse expresses the mode of expression to the gay individual,cognition.Attitude,emotion and other aspects have produced a broad and far-reaching mechanism of action.The second part of the WeChat community in self presentation as the research object,found in the foundation of self presentation related discussion on gay this homogeneity within groups of self presentation in the personalized self over release state is only one role setting,topic range narrowing,emotional characteristics of discourse expression,active molecule has consciously beautify the self in self presentation,the group and demonize,exclusion of mainstream culture.Join the community to exchange their identity on behalf of members of the mother,serve as a bridge of communication between father and son in the family responsibility,although a certain degree of increase in the gay community social.In order to present the understanding of homosexual culture,however,it exerts a negative influence on the social identity of gay individuals.The third part deeply analyzes the factors that influence the individual self-identification of gay men in WeChat community,and based on the starting point of improving the dilemma of identity,puts forward two suggestions to construct the rational gay community from the angle of social participation subject.First of all,starting from the six stages of Cass' division of homosexuals,combining with the characteristics of gay men's WeChat community members in Chongqing,the identification state is divided into two stages,and the social characteristics of the two stages are discussed respectively.Then,on the basis of Adelson's ecological model,this paper

exchange between the paternal generation and the gay person by the love of the individual,and the influence mechanism of the three factors of the two important other factors on the individual self-identity of the gay man is put forward.Present the pluralistic "mortal" community with diversified role consciousness,improve identity anxiety,bewilderment.
