@ilikehotmatcha welcome to our little growing community hope you enjoy your stay

Yeah, they definitely didn’t have children in mind when they came up with these shitty laws. If we all understand this much, we must stop getting mixed up in debates about what underage users should be allowed to access. We shouldn’t even acknowledge this deceptive justification for their coordinated mass-surveillance laws.

They start with the age-old excuse of monitoring porn sites before slowly creeping their dirty fingers into every other aspect of our digital lives. It’s the first stepping stone to normalize future more invasive policies.

I genuinely hate the future we’re heading to with all my guts… I hope this will at least incentivize more developers to look into decentralized Web 3.0 alternatives that are much more difficult to control, censor or monitor by a single government or company.

Mastodon said a couple months ago that enforcing age verification is essentially impossible given the decentralized nature of their technology. Maybe a site migration to a decentralized forum might be necessary in the future?

I mean, that’s absolutely a fetish in a general sense. I might even say it’s common, even, considering what I know about female erotic stories and the like. I’ve found an almost certainly female author making stories about women cheerfully getting mind fucked into someone just as powerless to resist their owners as a shrunken women is, and a sort of shared universe literally called ‘Human Domestication Guide’, where the main characters are made into obedient pets by invading, well meaning aliens, so… yeah.

If you’re into it, willing, and consenting, then it’s not ‘unwilling’ in the meaningful, rape-y sense, which is rather the point where that gets awkward, morally. Hell if it’s just a story or a fantasy, then there’s no one real at all to be concerned about, and RPs aren’t real (unless you’re actually shrinking? 😏 ) so even if a ‘giant’ ‘steps on you’ you’re not actually getting stepped on by a giant foot, so… what’s the harm?

Honestly, I’ve always found it more concerning the other way around, since then you’re actually doing the wrong thing. The same logic applies there, of course, but I’ve always had problems emotionally accepting the logic about my own desires, so it’s not like I don’t get what you’re talking about.

This Is How You Lose the Sex Wars

Trying to pick a pathway through forty years of the ugliest conflict in feminism.

This is a nice reflection and really highlights the complexities of reconciling seemingly very polarised perspectives. It’s possible, and I think a lot of people overthink it. But also very difficult especially with so much distraction (sometimes intentional, sometimes not) from larger systemic issues, and social contexts constantly in flux.

Nope no tags on iPhone but I do see tags on iPad

@TakoAlice8 oh yeah, it’s hard not to think about skyscraper sized dudes when walking through a crowded city. It’s a great reference point for my imagination.

A jar just traps a tiny, but it gives them no privacy and no coziness. It’s not shelter. It’s a prison, fit for a mere object or for a curiosity.

Yup, jars are for callous-to-cruel custodians.

However, I get the need to be able to see your tiny at all times. Might I suggest a terrarium? It can be furnished, including separate areas for watering, feeding, and toileting.

My ideal setup would have the terrarium on an extendible bookshelf that can be rolled back inside the shelving unit with a retractable front panel when concealment is necessary. When extended, the terrarium would be next to my desk chair with the top level with my desktop so I could keep an eye on her/them while I work.

@Olo proves that men are generally worse people especially tiny men. You never see that from women

@Olo I don’t know if this actually works as the longer version, but I think I might vibe with something along the lines of “shrunken woman lovers.” I dunno, for me personally, “shrunken womanizer” feels like it applies more to the person wanting to shrink the women and possibly excludes the shrunken women themselves? But I’m also putting waaay more thought into it since you asked (and I might be getting overly sensitive about having felt kinda excluded from certain SW spaces in the past) - I don’t know if I have that much of a preference.

And I need to hop on Bluesky at some point it sounds like! I never got Twitter and the more time passed the more I felt it might be foolish to do so. 😅

@Olo All that it takes is a can-do attitude. Oh, and growth serum 👍

Seriously I need a weekly podcast with a different tiny lady every episode talking about these topics lol

@Olo Ohh my bad! I saw the two interact but after I posted that I realized that tiny-taker was referring to it as their survey so I got very confused lol. With all the recent reblogs bringing it back up I’m hoping lilegite’s survey data crops up soon~

@Jötunn that’s very kind of . thank you! . I actually haven’t made a tutorial. There are so many good artists out there . Not sure if it would help 😅

Half the fun of this fetish is the creativity: it’s easy to hold them, easy to touch them however. But making them like it?

It probably stems from it, I’m frickin miniscule for a guy my age from my area and wish I was not this small.

@Olo now they know how I feel
