Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines how an online community of gay South Korean porn producers, consumers, and distributors used Tumblr to co-construct a porn platform under government censorship of porn. Utilizing assemblage theory, the article traces the cultural and political lines that not only shape Korea’s internet ecology but also prompted gay Korean men to adopt Tumblr as their go-to aggregate porn website. Tumblr offered a space in which gay Korean porn consumers desiring ‘sameness’ could see and hear themselves sexually represented. Ultimately, in examining the specificities of the South Korean context, I also seek to encourage porn studies scholarship to continually consider the cultural, social, geopolitical, and temporal contexts of porn consumption, production, and circulation, so as to avoid the indiscriminate application of the Western perspective to other sociocultural contexts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
