Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although the study of transformative works and the study of pornography are both decades old, there has been little analysis of any pornographic text as a transformative work. This article aims to address this through analyzing the Wet and Messy (WAM) fetish video series You Can’t Do That On Set (YCDTOS), a fan-created iteration of the transnationally successful Canadian series You Can’t Do That On Television (YCDTOTV; CTV/Nickelodeon 1979–1990). The article also addresses issues of genre and format with regard to pornography, in that YCDTOS is both a fan-created iteration of an episodic television series and features no explicit sex or nudity but is still positioned as pornography by its producers. The article also addresses the false binary of mimetic/affirmational versus transformative works, and the unclear boundaries between amateur and professional in fetish/WAM production, to illustrate just how messy a concept WAM fetish media can be.

Not 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.
