Stephen Maddison’s article ‘Comradeship of Cock? Gay Porn and the Entrepreneurial Voyeur’ takes up many of the narrative themes that Waugh has identified, and his intervention can be accepted both as a return to Waugh’s earlier essay as famously as his own perceptive appraisal of 30 years of inspect into gay porn. Maddison has previously written very astutely about the grinding of a characteristic gay erudition and the attendant factious implications of gay assimilation. In this article he positively again draws our prominence to David Halperin’s (2014) recently made distinction between a gay individuality associated with capitalism, commodification and Gay0Day assimilation and a gay subjectivity that offers the likelihood of dissidence. Maddison engages critically with the suggestion that scads others have made to the centrality of porn to gay good breeding and interrogates this insistence through the lens of neoliberalism. In his article he looks at microblogging Tumblr sites that spotlight obscene load which he sees as acting as a site of a distinctively ‘gay’ and thereby consciously subversive gay culture.
