Another Size Kink Article

@TicTacLover-0 Alice can speak for herself, but I suspect that by “minorities in the size community” she meant people who aren’t primarily oriented toward the “majority” configuration (seemingly F/m).
-
@Olo if that is true, that makes more sense. As I was thinking I would enjoy a lovely little doll regardless of her ethnicity!
-
@protect-tinies Yeah, that explanation sounds like armchair psychology, just like the other common one that says “women aren’t into giant men because men are already bigger and stronger than them”.
I wouldn’t call my parents domineering at all. I had a babysitter a couple of times who might fit that description, but that happened too late to explain my interest in size stuff.

Onto the whole minority thing separate tangent but do any others who do art or write stories feel uncomfortable about adding minorities to the shrink fiction. Like personally I’m happy to have a tiny sex toy no matter where she hails from but in that I also feel uncomfortable writing about said desire as I feel I’m delving into the great white saviour/enslaver troup or is that just me. Am I wrong to feel this way about desiring vanilla,chocolate and or caramel when it comes to my tiny ladies

What if the kink also started from just sheer , sexual awakening, per / teen- teen years. to be wanted , desired or cared for. ( the tiggers for it could be as easy as - it’s small , and I could get away with it ,like sneak a cookie from the jar ) ^*
Any young creative artistic mind, could come across an image or situation and reframe the view.
Like, laying on the beach looking up and seeing a woman/man walk by and appear giant . ( perspective )Or see lingerie adds in a catalogue , where some images/ models are displayed at different sizes .( Mosaic of images. And make that leap .
A oversized ad 20-30 foot , fashion, cosmetic ad in the streets, as one walks by.
Not everything has to stems from trauma I think.

As for the interracial size differences , let’s enjoy them, white brown black all wonderful “shades”. , Sure the first story/ collage might feel a bit awkward, but it’s all kinky fantasy.
And each can bring a fun cultural background , and yes sometimes stereotype too. But that’s half to fun. And adds depth to the encounter.

Happy weekend everyone ,

To be honest, that’s part of the reason I tend to be vague about what people look like in my stories (unless they’re inhuman in some way, in which case it’s fair game); if I’m making them all white, am I assuming somehow? Should I be more inclusive? If they aren’t white, well, it’s the ‘I feel awkward about fantasying about oppressing women’ thing in a whole new direction.Leaving it vague lets people fill it in in their heads more, which is also good since I don’t usually have a picture of said SW in my head beyond, ‘she’s hot’, and committing to the details means I have to, well, commit.

That’s good ways to leave it open and let the reader , fill in their ( actors / actress )

This issue comes up frequently both in general fiction as well as in smut. In general fiction the main concern is avoiding stereotypes and unintentional racism (often due to ignorance of historical or social context). In smut there is the additional hazard of fetishization of race (even while we’re fetishizing size). Finally, not everyone agrees on racial categories and terminology, so it is perilous to assume your readers share your perspective.
On the other hand, readers like descriptions, particularly when it comes to characters they’re going to be spending a lot of time with. In longer works, a character’s racial/ethnic background may factor in the theme or plot, which requires a complex awareness of multiple perspectives lest the readers spot the author’s ignorance or prejudice. In stroke fiction, of course, physical details are the meat (heh) of the action.
A common mistake is to avoid using any racial/ethnic identifiers at all. The pitfall here is that you run the risk of all your characters being presumed to be white, straight, cis, able, skinny, neurotypical, etc. If you only give physical descriptions to POC or LGBTQ+ or disabled characters, you’re perpetuating the Marked/Unmarked problem. In my earlier work, I have tried to thread this needle by being scanty with physical descriptions but using “ethnically-pronounced” character names to smuggle in ethnic identities. I now regret this practice.
Another concern that requires sensitivity is the issue of representation. Everyone deserves to see themselves in art and literature, and that includes size smut. If they can do it on Bridgerton, we can do it in Size Fantasy. Of course, in visual arts you can easily include all sorts of different-looking people without making it look like diversity for diversity’s sake. In text it’s a little more pronounced, especially if you’re only mentioning physical details for characters in Marked categories.
Finally, one of the chief uses for written smut is letting the reader project themselves upon or at least strongly sympathize with one or more characters. Making the characters “too” specific might create an obstacle for readers who are distracted or disappointed by a certain detail. “I was really into this story until I read that the giant had a goatee. I hate those.” Fortunately, size pervs have a lot of practice with mentally editing smut so it accommodates their preferences.
There’s no easy answer to this except to be attentive and careful and to read stories from a wide range of sources. If you want to write about a character with an unfamiliar background, try to find a test-reader who has that background to help you avoid glaring errors (if you don’t know anyone with that background, reconsider giving it to your character).

One easy tip: Avoid food metaphors for people or the color of their skin (even when you’re writing vore).
