The Rise of "Doll-Mommies" and "Doll-Daddies" in China: Chinese Youth Meet BJD Culture
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis focuses on the contemporary Chinese youth group, "doll-mommies/ daddies," who are involved in Ball-Jointed Doll (BJD) culture.The thesis is based on a content analysis of popular social media used by "doll-mommies/daddies", specifically BJD Bar and BJD Tsukkomi Bar on Baidu.I have incorporated reflections of my own experience as a BJD player as a supplementary source of data.I contend that the BJD culture in contemporary China has become a virtual space for "doll-mommies/daddies" to explore and understand self-representation, social stratification, Chinese culture, and gender and sexuality.The thesis contributes to the sociology of toys and studies of youth culture with a focus on analysing the BJD culture in China.It also contributes new insights to China studies, providing a window to understanding Chinese youth culture and contemporary Chinese society, which has experienced profound changes due to the government's introduction of market economy, globalization, and information technology.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
