What celebrities would you want to see more of in sizekink content?

I’m going to make a generalization and say that looking at an image of a random person or celebrity and deciding to incorporate that image into a personal sexual fantasy is a form of entitlement that anyone can indulge in but is massively encouraged by the male gaze. Men in our society have no problem speculatively placing anyone and anything into a sexual context, and this extends to discussion prompts like “Wouldn’t [X} make an awesome giantess?” and the thousands of sizey photoshops we’ve seen since the dawn of the Internet. I’m not saying this always wrong, exactly, but it’s an artifact of our sexist culture and we shouldn’t be surprised when women are less likely to engage in it.

The whole issue of photoshopping people without their consent (or legal permission to use the photos) is complicated because, to be blunt, Size Fantasy as a genre might not have become as popular as it is today without it. Today we have hundreds and hundreds of Size artists, writers, render artists, models, actors, and other creative people producing specifically with a Size fetish audience in mind. Thirty years ago we, uh, didn’t. Individual fetishists were creating for themselves, but they probably would never have started sharing their creations if they didn’t think there was an audience for it. In the 90s, simple photoshops of celebrities enlarged to 500-feet-tall were thrillingly easy to make and circulate, rapidly demonstrating that an audience for Size Fantasy did in fact exist. These days I don’t look twice at most Size photo collages, because tailored Size illustrations and renders exist in plenty. We also have models and actors who are intentionally posing to be 'shopped into Size collages, and those always make me smile. We now have the luxury of disregarding celebrity photo collages and pirated porn.

It’s kinda similar to how I’m not interested in fanfiction either and would much rather read original content involving size.

So here is where I admit that my autism is something of a hindrance to enjoying Size content. When I first started browsing Size Tumblr, I was flummoxed by all the characters from anime and videogames being shoehorned into size scenarios. Did these shows or games have regular Size themes? Some basic research indicated that no, they were from all manner of genres and didn’t particularly lend themselves to the scifi or supernatural genres where growth and shrinking were possible. It took me probably longer than necessary to realize that the artists and 3D modelers were using established characters from known fandoms because that’s all they had to work with. The fact that their giantess waifu was from a show where no one ever grew or shrank wasn’t an obstacle for them, but it was a constant frustration to me.

For me, the goal was to enjoy size differential itself, not imagine how established characters would appear and respond to a mixed-size juxtaposition. The backstories of these characters was a distraction at best and often spoiled the whole illusion. If they were from a genre where a Size encounter made sense, fantasy magic or superheroes, say, it was easier to accept. Giant Mulder or Shrunken Scully, sure. The Tiny Housewives of Beverly Hills, not so much.

So, yes, please, create original characters and settings for your Size scenarios. Put a little work into how they got that way. Take pity on the literal-minded.

@Olo As much as it’s not my thing personally, I do think there are more reasons to want to see your favorite characters in sizey scenarios outside of limited access. I can absolutely see the fun and excitement in taking a character you love and wondering about how they might fit into your fantasies. Beloved characters bring us comfort, spark our creativity, and yes, get our more “primal” urges going sometimes 🤭

Personally I think it’s just a matter of preference - at least that’s the case for me! It is interesting that I have also noticed the (general) trend of it being mostly men who have the “which celebrity/character” discussion. But I don’t think that necessarily makes it “wrong" or anything, just like many other facets about these fantasies. It’s an interesting discussion in any case!

It’s a discussion that men are constantly encouraged to have in a way that women typically aren’t (although this is changing rapidly, of course).

I also have the opposite problem of “bleed-over,” where once a given actor has taken a role in a Sizey scenario, that actor remains “potentially Sizey” in every other role they play. Diana Rigg, Barbara Eden, Jessica Lange, Teri Hatcher, Robin Williams, Brooke Shields, Melissa Joan Hart, Pamela Anderson, Ted Danson, Alfre Woodard are now all “Size-tainted” for me.

My experience has been that a lot of women tend to keep their fantasies to imaginary characters (there are soooooo many size fanfics/fan pics of the brothers from Supernatural and Link from Zelda and more recently, Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3). While I prefer original characters, I’ll read fanfics as long as the character acts appropriately to the source material.

I have noticed that men tend to fantasize about real life people more, and while Henry Cavill and Chris Hemsworth are incredibly attractive, it feels odd to imagine them randomly rampaging through a city.

I do what others have mentioned and take features that I like and create my own character so that I can shamelessly pit him against tiny civilizations

@Nyx yeah whenever I use a celebrity in a fantasy or story, it’s a character BASED ON that celeb.

It would feel confusing to actually put the celeb in there. Leave them alone, they just want to be an actor / musician / TV star , whatever.

But this new character? Who looks and talks just like the TV persona of a celeb - but with a different name and a different background that somehow resulted in them turning into a giant? And a specific personality that I made up (because their IRL personality is unknown to me, a stranger?) That’s the stuff.

I still maintain that it’s perfectly normal and it shouldn’t be considered an issue by projecting ourselves too much into it.

To be clear, I did establish these as personal boundaries. I understand every point you are making, and that’s why I stated I don’t think there’s anything wrong with fantasizing about famous people. I was merely explaining why I personally didn’t feel good about it. If you took that as me knocking you or trying to say this was problematic- then I apologise, that wasn’t the intent!

Feel like adding to the general conversation here. I don’t particularly love size content featuring real people. I have fantasized about celebrities of course- I think that’s a pretty natural thing for people to do- but using their likeness in sexual content just doesn’t feel comfortable for me. Not arguing that there’s anything morally wrong with it since the careers of actors/models/etc are based around their image, but it feels uncomfortable imagining myself in that scenario. If someone thought I was that attractive I might even be flattered, but it would be very weird to actually see myself in kink-based content.

And of course that gets into even more grey area. Like creating sexualized content of a fictional character played by a real person: does that feel strange to me? I don’t know. And I’ve definitely been inspired by celebrities’ looks and personalities for characters I’ve created.

Not trying to be a moral grandstander or anything! I’m not arguing that any of this is unethical. This is just purely what I’m comfortable with. Though I imagine going into this industry there’s an understanding that people are going to find you beautiful.

I do LOVE fanfiction, though it can definitely range from great to terrible. I struggle to enjoy it when the character acts completely different from their canon personality, but a well written story about how they would react in a size-based scenario is fantastic.

All this talk about Henry Cavill, though. With him working on the Warhammer 40k series we might have plenty of size content to look forward to. A lot of the more powerful characters in that series can range from 8-15 feet tall. I know characters can manipulate their size to be hundreds of feet tall as well. Very exciting!
