@Olo Oh ok, I see it now

SmolChlo

I’d go to your favorite restaurants and get you food since you can’t fit inside ‍️
I don’t know if 10 orders would be enough lol

Olo

@SmolChlo You’ve got ten friends, though, right?

SmolChlo

@Olo Ooooooh no no no It seems I’ve been bamboozled. I wouldn’t give up my friends so you’ll have to settle for your 10 carry out orders and ME

@SmolChlo I will join you in this noble effort! So make that twenty meals and 2 volunteers

SmolChlo

@littlest-lily eating us would be like eating two tiny grapes …hopefully the 20 extra meals will make a dent in his appetite

@Olo This sounds like the beginning of a villain origin story.

I mean, this is the giant problem in a nutshell. The world isn’t made for giants, and you can either accept being a second class citizen, or change things to fit you better, if you can.

This is getting me wondering… Is this kind of problem posed in the world of giantess? I don’t actually know the answer to that, but it feels like it’s different somehow if it’s a woman growing and I’m not sure why… Am I alone in thinking this?

Nope. I mostly go searching GTS content looking for F/f content, and never once have I really seen logistics addressed even slightly in a GTS fic. At the end of the day, I honestly get the impression most GTS fics, or pictures or comics or whatever, are all just someone venting something, and it’s only about the power and crushing and worship, either doing it themselves or by being the one crushed. Once a woman goes giant, everything goes perfect and they are unstoppable forces of nature, instead of being doomed to probably starve if the military doesn’t blow them up first for the massive casualties they always seem to cause after they promptly lose their minds and personalities they had before growing and turn into murdering psychopaths.

Honestly, the reason I’m so anti-SM/GTS is just that side of the fetish is so… toxic with whatever that is. In theory, giant boobs and legs and whatever sounds great, women are hot so more woman to be hot is good, right? In practice, me as a man reading them feels like indulging in self hate for my entire gender.

@littlest-lily I feel like we would face the same problems as Giant men but maybe the tiny people down below would feel less afraid of us? You would find me trying to subtly tip toe around the city lol like Ope pardon me, I’ll just scoot past ya

@i-am-insane Yeah it’s already rare for me to read something F/m, but if I do it’s always a shrinking story (which I will say I’ve seen some variety and depth there). I honestly can’t think of anything I’ve read with actual giantess. But even from other media I’ve come across, I’ve very much gotten that impression of GTS = murderous rampage and little else. Not to kink shame anyone, but yeah the whole thing doesn’t appeal to me either.

I do feel like I see a lot of GT rampaging content too though, but a lot of that is more in the M/m circles, just from my experience. Perhaps there is an element of it being largely straight men on many of these sites, which inevitably leads to a lot of focus on sexy women. So on the GTS side that perhaps means more focus on the power and majesty of the giant lady. And on the SW side there’s more focus on the tiny one… and that the “power” she has as the object of desire kind of balances out the fact that the giant has actual power. Maybe that balance is what helps things be not so focused on purely reveling in the destructive power of the giant? And thus we’re able to think about other things such as these kinds of logistics?

I hope I’m making any kind of sense haha.

@SmolChlo Can I just say that is adorable Egads, I’m such a SW through and through, the mere thought of being the large one makes me want to hide underground lol

SmolChlo

@littlest-lily same here, I’m forever a tiny at heart ️ If I grew, I’d dig a hole in the dessert and hide. I would feel so embarrassed being that enormous and naked in front of so many people a Giantess who’s afraid of the tinies

It’s something I’ve talked about on this site before… somewhere, but I get the impression that a lot of GTS writers are men, and it’s as much about desperately needing to feel not in control as it is ‘women are sexy! Big women are more sexy!’, only it’s escalated with them to the current GTS fetish status. SM stuff still falls under similar ways, from what I’ve seen, it just seems less extreme because it’s focused on a small group of small people, rather than just the entire area, so the woman seems more rational when not interacting with the SM, and it’s often more about control than just destruction.

SW/GT stuff, meanwhile, does have men treat SWs like women treat SMs, but it’s only some of the content, not all of it, which is interesting. There’s as much gentle SW stories about men or women taking care of SWs as there are of SWs being oppressed. If we’re accepting my previous logic of ‘a lot of GTS/SM stuff is about men needing to not feel in control’, then the men writing it don’t feel that need, while the women involved, who have similar needs, are… handling them better? Societally, I think men wanting to feel in control is ‘acceptable’, so it’s easier to manage it, while women not wanting to feel in control is ‘acceptable’, so it’s easier to manage for them?

Most GT pics I’ve seen are similar to GTS in that they just destroy everything around them, but GT stories, in my experience, are almost as much a mix as SW stories, while GTS stories are generally the same as GTS pictures. I agree about the focus thing; GT/GTS fics focus on how powerful the big person is, while SW/SM fics focus on how weak the small person is, though by nature of the content that seems largely inevitable. GTS pictures and comics overwhelmingly show the women from an outside context, while stories, without the pictures of big women and boobs and legs, are often more balanced in their perspective, while SW pics focus almost entirely on the SW most of the time… and all of that feels like it’s focused on the male interest on the topic, rather than the female interest.

Though maybe my own perspective as a man are skewing my perception on it, I don’t know.
