@miss-lillipants That study is so interesting! And I might be reading the results incorrectly, but it looks like the preferences for women, both short-term and long-term, are still above the average height? (At least for here in the US, which I believe is around 162 cm.) So it seems like the survey done in the original post was reflective of this. Again, I might be misinterpreting things, so correct me if I’m wrong.
@skysayl Maybe we need a thread where we all share our favorite AO3 content. 
@foreverlurk said in It's always false advertising:
I’ve seen the new Minami-kun reboot posters and teasers
now I’m even more mad at the gender-swap
@SmolChlo The sensory overload point is very interesting. In real life I feel that I get more easily overwhelmed than the average person, especially when it comes to overstimulating environments (not that everybody loves those, but I definitely don’t have the best tolerance for them).
And yet sizey stuff is all about being overwhelmed. While I definitely think that feeling of connection and safety plays a huge role in my fantasy, I think there may be a touch of masochism there as well.
@Olo said in zHEIGHTgeist:
One attraction of being tiny in an unaware scenario is experiencing peril or abuse from someone who doesn’t intend it, so you can’t blame them or think ill of them afterward.
As a big fan of unaware scenarios, that’s a fantastic explanation of why they’re appealing. I love cruel and I love gentle, but a gentle guy being cruel (even unintentionally) is chef’s kiss.
Although there is a tinge of guilt associated with that fantasy, since it is imagining someone in a situation they don’t particularly want to be in, regardless if they’re in the more dominant role or not.
As for your other point, I feel like the next two episodes may zero in on the microphilia aspect of size kink. Aborigen really took time to clarify in the introduction episode that the kink goes beyond men fetishizing giantesses, and since the last two episodes had macrophilia in the title it seems to be an intentional focus on that half of the fantasy. At least I hope that’s the case!
@littlest-lily said in Underfoot:
Part of it is the fact that I’m into almost any body part as long as it’s gigantic, but there is something extra about being down on the floor at his feet where I’m most vulnerable, or about being pinned under a single toe - there’s an extra layer of domination/humiliation/playfulness there that I enjoy a whole lot.
That’s exactly how I feel about feet. Like I looked at the subreddit and my thoughts were just like “Yeah, some of these are really nice looking.” but it’s not content I’m going to be looking for in the future. On the other hand, the first story in the article about her having to lick the guy’s feet sounds very appealing to me. It’s definitely more the domination aspect of it than the actual feet to me.
@SmolChlo I was cleaning through some stuff I had from my childhood and found a little badge thing that said “I like boys who sparkle” with a picture of Edward on it. CRINGE!!! 
Oh yea, Hot Topic definitely scratched that emo/Twilight/weeb itch for me in the late 2000s. Good times.
@Olo Hey, even tiny ladies can have a heavy flow okay???
@BigCuddlyGiant Idk how cuddling up in someone’s pocket could NOT sound amazing- size kink or not.
And I always figured constant comments on height would get old fast, but I guess it just works out sometimes. 
You need some clever comebacks to pull out in these situations - maybe you could awaken something in someone. 
@SmolChlo Oh my~ might be a good way to share this fantasy with him if that’s something you’re ever interested in doing. Also a SW Tomagotchi game??? It NEEDS to be made. Maybe a bit more forgiving though. 
@The-Big-G That’s okay! I was definitely thinking a more casual thing, so no expectations or commitments for people to participate. Just for fun!
@Olo said in Looking for source of this GIF:
I suppose I have to put in a #NotAllGiantessFans disclaimer, because I know several F/m fans who are into destruction/crush/fatal scenarios but who are also respectful people who don’t try to force others into performing according to their demands. There’s nothing inherently toxic about the destructive Giantess rampage scenario, it’s just got a vocal and embarrassing contingent of fans.
100%. A lot of this discussion relies on generalizations, but it’s important to keep in mind the entire community isn’t like this. And as @Nyx pointed out, there’s a lot of female-dominated fandoms online as well, and as someone who has been very casually involved with some, they can get EXTREMELY toxic as well.
@SmolChlo Idk, I would totally read a story about a four inch-tall femme fatale.
