This paper examines the digital video content produced by Kiki Farel, an Indonesian gay adult content creator, as a site of tension between queer self-expression, platform governance, and socio-legal censorship in Indonesia. Using a qualitative digital ethnography approach, this study analyzes how Farel’s videos navigate the country’s anti-pornography laws (UU ITE and UU Pornografi) while building an affective community of gay male viewers. Findings suggest that Farel’s work operates in a "gray zone" of legality, employing coded language and private paywalls to circumvent surveillance. The paper concludes that such content serves not only as erotic material but also as a form of fragile queer visibility in a predominantly heteronormative and religiously conservative society.
