Supporting data for "Dangerous Pleasures: Queering ‘Women’ in Chinese <i>Nisu</i> Fan Culture"

This research investigates the structure of desire of a sub-culture within contemporary Chinese fan communities from 2018-2021. It focuses on a discursive practice called “<i>Nisu</i>,” which, shaped by historical-economic circumstances, fantasizes the male object as a female, typically in traditional familial terms. This dataset includes transcripts of the five semi-structured and in-depth interviews with four participants for the study of nisu culture, each lasting 2-4 hours. While three of them have considered themselves as "<i>nisu</i> fans," one participant was neutral about the subject matter. These transcripts serve as not primary but additional sources by providing more queer perspectives that are overlooked in past studies.
