I know that we, as fans, have enough insight to dismiss her comments (as you have), but perhaps it’s some consolation to see an informed observation coming from the outside.

It is, thanks for sharing this very interesting blog post. Love that quote “I was turned on by ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ before I knew what the birds and the bees were all about”. I know the focus is on macrophilia (again!) but it gives me some insights that helps my own journey of self-understanding.

I hope that microphilia will be explored later in the podcast, I know we’re a rarer breed but we do exist (or maybe we don’t, ask Dr Friedman!), and I’d still like some data about its origin beyond the usual “it’s-the-patriarchy!”, and hopefully beyond the purely sexual aspect too.

@blehb I understand what you mean, my tolerance for those situations is pretty low as well. Put me in a room with more than 3 people and I’m instantly sweating but a Giant picking me up and overwhelming me with his enormous presence? It’s like a can finally breath

And as strange as it sounds, I’ve noticed it helps slow down my anxiety attacks if I imagine a Giant interacting with me. Even if he’s cruel, there’s something instantly calming about it. Plus I am a masochist so I’m sure that plays a role as well lol

@Olo hands down thee best interpretation of Unaware fantasies. I’ve never heard it put that way before and dare I say it kinda made me curious to explore some those scenarios more

foreverlurk

@SmolChlo I just love understanding what makes other people tick, too… even if it’s not my main fantasy. Simply keeping an open mind made me discover some aspects I hadn’t considered, and explore scenarios I had previously discarded!

@SmolChlo I always think about this stuff when I’m trying to go to bed. It really puts me at ease and helps me fall asleep, though it’s not great for brainstorming.

@miss-lillipants I showed Aborigen the reactions here to the latest episode, and here is his response:

@foreverlurk Same. Good upbringing and happy childhood. Take a whole-ass seat, lady. Take your outdated boomer mentality elswehre.

nephilim

@foreverlurk No. Immediate no.

I’m half and half with this, Aborigen maybe needs to loosen up but I get he’s trying to get his point across.

Relax yourself a bit, don’t sound too stiff.

The other issue is the macro focus but it is a podcast mostly about macro with some micro focus.

Just my 2c.

Olo

@giantmaneddie He says he has up to 30 episodes planned, and I fully expect he will amply cover microphilia before he’s done.

The stiff delivery seems to be an artifact of it being a monologue rather than a dialogue. I don’t know if he has any plans to alter that.

@SmolChlo
Huh. That makes me wonder what it is for the big in unaware phantasies; doing bad things without feeling guilty about it, then?

Olo

@i-am-insane There are not a few biggo-identifying folks who indeed enjoy leaving a guilt-free swath of destruction through populated areas.

@i-am-insane I’ve also heard folks refer to just the sheer scale and power - that they’d be able to dominate someone so completely without trying, or even realizing that the person’s there.

Olo

@littlest-lily This is how I’ve identified another “axis” for categorizing size fantasies. Unaware, giant or tiny, falls on the “Indifferent” end of the spectrum, where people of a different size are relatively anonymous and undifferentiated, and the protagonist is usually only talking to themselves. The other end of the spectrum is “Intimate,” where who the differently-sized people are matters greatly.
