At the risk of sounding dismissive, it is a fantasy after all.

At the risk of sounding snobby, I’m hoping to meet a higher standard.

Yeah, nice try convincing us that any of that bothers you at all 😛

It bothers me quite a bit, actually. I’ll work on expressing myself more convincingly.

I’ll probably never actually write it, since it wouldn’t be a kink story at all. It would just be a tragedy with sci-fi elements.

I’d still want to read it.

This is my experience as well, and why a lot of giantess and shrunken woman content doesn’t appeal to me. In terms of giantess content, there isn’t a lot of content that focuses on how desirable the tiny man is; the focus is usually on the woman because the creator can’t imagine himself as being the object of desire. I see the same thing with a lot of shrunken woman content, where the man isn’t supposed to be desirable and is often just depicted as a hand or other faceless non-entity.

I see this as an artistic failure on the part of the author. As a writer it’s my duty to make my story accessible to everyone, not just the people who share my specific kink.

outside of like, fan girls, I’m not really sure I’ve seen examples of people saying, ‘this man is hot!’ beyond poorly written porn/power fantasies, and even then it’s rare. Meanwhile, women being viewed as attractive is all over the damn place.

This is exactly what is meant by “the (straight) male gaze.” You can also see it in the cultural assumption that men who work on their body, their clothing, or their grooming must be gay.

as a man I’m not sure how I’d write a man as being attractive. Part of it is I don’t get it, true, but it just feels weird at some level to even think that way.

As far as I can tell, the best way to learn how to describe an attractive man is to read writing by people who find men attractive.
