@foreverlurk Hehe, it IS a skill that can be learned, but there’s also a fair amount of luck involved. The girl who was having tiny dreams was just one particular girl, and the chances of that exact scenario happening again are infinitesimal. Women are like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re going to get. I don’t always get positive responses to the sizey stuff…I’ve had neutral responses too. But I’ve never had any negative responses, and the response is usually positive. Sometimes VERY positive.
@SmolChlo I’m not exactly “up front” with it, because I never tell anybody that it’s a kink for me, and I never talk about it with anyone except potential girlfriends. But then again, my interest in tiny women is both sexual and non-sexual, so it’s not STRICTLY a kink. The lines are kind of blurry. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be TRULY up front about it, with everyone! I don’t think I’m likely to ever go that route, but I salute you! Haha.

@protect-tinies As frustrating as the lack of M/f content can be, I am thankful for the fact that it seems to be more accepted by the general population than giantess stuff. Of course, neither of these are prevalent enough to get an accurate understanding of how people feel about it, but from my personal experience people seem much more okay with M/f than F/m.
I’ve told two guys about my interest in this, and while they did think it was unusual they also said they found it to be adorable. Maybe I’m just lucky with my sample size, but it seems to be a much more accepting reaction than the endless articles talking about “how weird giantess fetish is!”
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I like shrinking, which people might see as harmless since it is more intimate and less destructive than growth. Or maybe because I’m a woman, and I feel like women with strange kinks are seen as less creepy than men are. (Not that that’s fair, just seems to be the bias people have.) I do think you have a good point about it connecting to the more typical preferences people have- men are more likely prefer the dominant role and women the submissive one.
I do feel for giantess-fans though. There is a lot of pressure for men to fit this mold of masculinity, and trying to seek safety and comfort from a woman is typically frowned upon. Which connects to size kink obviously.
-
@blehb It’s likely because gender norms why GTS is more frowned on over SW but the other issue is GTS fans are much more rabid. They self sabotage themselves at times but also, their fanbase is bigger.

This. I can get, on the face of it, wanting bigger women because big boobs/legs/etc, but the fandom around drove me off and I never really went back, but I can’t go anywhere size-y without seeing them because they’re everywhere.
Power is choice.

They’re the reason that, when someone asks me about size fantasy, I don’t tell them to simply Google it.
-
@giantmaneddie That’s fair! The giantess community definitely makes themselves more well-known than ours does, and having a larger and niche fanbase would naturally attract less “sociable” people, to say the least.
My previous post was definitely a focus on how this plays out in intimate situations as opposed to general entertainment. Which kind of gives me another thread idea.
-
@Olo lesson learned. I recently told someone about this fetish and they were quick to Google it because within a matter of minutes they texted me back with a picture of a Giantess asking if I wanted her to step on me 🥲

Same, and that got me in trouble in the past with people who only see the kinky, sexual side. This forum is way more friendly to accommodate both kinds, than some others out there.

Absolutely! I never mentionned it beause I don’t want to sound like I’m wallowing up in self-pity, but it’s likely the main reason I’ve never told any women I cared about. I’d fear of being forever labeled as a weirdo, whereas I feel women can “come out” without facing the same stigma (again, might be societal bias at work here).

I used to be active in the giantess community but there were so many terrible aspects to it that I don’t really participate much anymore. It was weird seeing how openly misogynistic attitudes were applauded; many of the giantess fans worshipped and loathed giant women at the same time. I’m sort of the same way when it comes to giantess content nowadays; I appreciate some of it but it also brings back bad feelings.
-
Just something I’ve pondered before but do you think the GTS community goes as hard as it does because it’s fanbase is mostly male? (No offense to any males) Men are pretty vocal about their sexual interests and the kinds of content they’d like to see where as women are more shy when it comes to fully expressing our interests. I’ve seen females easily get dominated in the comment section on DA when it comes to requests for future content. One girl squeaks out M/f and the poor lass gets buried under the F/m outrage. Can’t tell if there’s more of them or if their just louder

Not self-pitying at all. I think discussing these pressures everyone feels is very healthy, and some weird assholes shouldn’t stop the rest of us from having fun!
Anything kink-related is going to be such a mixed bag of bullshit lol. Within the community, I feel like it’s so male-dominated, so it can be difficult creating female-oriented content. We’ve seen a lot of creators on here get questioned about their tastes or pressured into making giantess stuff, to the point where women practically don’t exist in the kink.
On the other hand, it’s probably a lot more uncomfortable for men to come forward about this stuff in real life (at least in cases like you, where you seem to be very considerate about how your partner will feel about it/react).
In the end, none of us win.
And of course, this is overlooking any size-fans who aren’t straight or cisgender. I can’t speak from experience, but I’m sure that comes with its own unique issues.

I mean, you say misogynistic, but really, it feels like they just hate… humans, really. They turn women into tools for the sexuality, lobotomized them into mindless killers or amoral sociopaths as soon as they’re looking at someone smaller, yeah, but at best men generally end up as sex slaves in GTS, if not just killed. So much GTS stuff is just… ‘what if an apocalyptic meteor was a boob or a foot instead’ or something, like they just want everyone and everything to die. I can count actual gentle GTS stuff I remember on one hand, and one of the first size stories I ever found is a gentle one where the man is basiclly unbirthed into a permanent coma at the end.It’s very… I don’t know, it makes me think of a death cult, sometimes.
So, in Fate Extella, one of the main characters/waifu is not only a GTS (Nasu is an infamous obvious GTS fetishist, considering how many women in his settings end up gigantic), but is a literal world destroying monster. Yet, most of her interaction is kind, and there’s literally a (text only) sequence straight out of a gentle GTS dream (or an sw’s, considering you can have the mc be a female).
I saw someone on a forum say that Altera woke the GTS fetish in him, then he looked it up and lost it because of what he found. Presumably, in the span of the same day.

I think they’re just louder. I’ve noticed that when communities aren’t as male-dominated (like Tumblr or AO3 or certain DeviantArt communities), women participate in larger numbers. Whenever there’s overlap, there tends be a few very vocal and very entitled giantess fans who complain about everything that isn’t their specific interest.
I was involved in both the giantess and giant communities, and while giant fans never complained when I produced giantess content, giantess fans often sent me rude comments and messages about what I should be producing (which only catered to their interests, of course).

@blehb I’d say that when men openly talk about their sexual appetites with anyone other than their romantic partners (especially if their sexual appetites are unusual), it’s more likely to be viewed as predatory, perverted, and weird…or even “rapey” and misogynistic. When women do it, it’s generally viewed as something innocent and harmless. That’s one of the reasons why I would be extremely hesitant to tell normies that the fantasy has a sexual component for me.
Also, in normie fiction about shrinking, there’s an unwritten rule: people who shrink themselves are good guys. People who shrink others are villains. If I’m a man who enjoys shrinking women, that would automatically make me the villain, according to this rule.
About giantesses:
I think there are two big reasons for the stigma about F/m content:
-
There’s a lot of toxic behavior in the F/m community (as other people have mentioned), and this stuff is usually the very FIRST thing people see when they discover size content, because it’s everywhere.
-
One of the major differences between men and women is that women can’t feel sexually attracted to a man who they don’t respect. When a woman loses respect for her man, the romantic relationship typically dies. She will either leave him, or she’ll continue to live with him, but she’ll treat him as a roommate rather than a romantic partner. This is one reason why so many women chase after dominant bad boys and ignore submissive nice guys. It’s hard to respect a submissive man…a man who puts himself in an “inferior” position. This makes a lot of sense when you consider that women looked to men for protection and provision for thousands of years, and the men who are most respected by women also tend to be the best protectors and providers. We humans still have the same brains that we had thousands of years ago, and women are still fundamentally attracted to the same things that they were attracted to thousands of years ago. A hundred years’ worth of rapid social change in the Western world isn’t going to simply erase all of that.
So the reason why people may be more weirded out by F/m content is that it feels unnatural. It reverses the roles, and it goes against what humans have expected from men throughout the entirety of human history.

I mean, you say misogynistic, but really, it feels like they just hate… humans, really.There are sadism/masochism kinks that can occur along with other kinks like micro/macrophilia; as long as it’s kept to fantasy, I don’t judge the morality of those kinks (nor do I believe that most cruel fans hate people). I was referring more toward the attitudes that are present in the giantess community, especially when it comes to attitudes about women in general (that we’re not “really into it”, that our own desires are somehow “wrong” especially if they’re different than male interests, etc.) I have had so many male giantess fans talk over me that I could write a book.
