@littlest-lily Hey, if things like vampires and werewolves can become some of the most popular romance stories out there, why not size-related things?
I think Minami-kun works so well because the goal is to get Chiyomi back to her normal size, so general audiences are rooting for their relationship knowing that. Meanwhile, they can enjoy the adorable interactions, and the size difference grows on them a bit.
@Olo Ok, new kink unlocked: giants wearing some sort of uniform/suit/gear. Tinies can tease all they want and they’re going to have a hard time getting them out. 
@SmolChlo That scene is a classic. I’m not into giantesses either but I can definitely appreciate good content of it!
Although I’m imagining I’m showing that scene to a guy I’m explaining this to, it backfires, and he discovers he has a giantess fetish…

@Olo I LOVE the idea of leaving tiny kiss marks on a giant’s face!

@foreverlurk said in Watching Others Watch Size:
Of course, I was rooting for her to remain tiny. That’s why I love the 2004 version were she stays small but they are together and well at the end.
Oh yes~ of course people in our community felt differently about it!
I’ll have to check out the 2005 one (all of them really!). I’ve only seen the 2015 one which was fabulous.
Gotta say I’m a true neutral. I love a more intimate experience.
I think that’s why I’m not the biggest fan of growth scenarios. That’s too many people my giant is interacting with and I get jealous. 
@littlest-lily I haven’t seen this in ages but remembered enjoying it. I think it’s a good time for a rewatch. I love going back and watching things I saw as a kid.
Also Hook with Robin Williams.
@tiny-ivy That’s very true! I do think it’s a very innate feeling as well though. Even just entertaining the idea in my mind makes me feel gross- actively engaging with it online or IRL would be a bit more painful.
It’s so important to respect people’s boundaries!
@littlest-lily To be fair, Pepper seems determined enough to go in after the chocolate. 
@skysayl said in Disaster and confrontation:
Oh, that makes perfect sense. It’s another one of the reasons I hesitate, actually. There are definitely kinks involved every time I write, but sometimes they’re hidden behind a wall of buildup. I guess I enjoy it as a payoff, rather than instant gratification. I think I fall almost purely in femgaze for that reason alone lol
I’m sorry if I came across as sounding like people here wouldn’t enjoy the buildup. Quite the opposite - the buildup is everything to me! I feel the exact same way you do, so now I’m even more interested.
I was more implying that there will undoubtedly be readers who sexualize the content. If what you’re writing is important or therapeutic to you and you’re not comfortable with people doing that, then that’s totally understandable. I know most of the regulars here would be kind and respectful, but I think it’s good to be mindful or lurkers who might not be as considerate.
@SmolChlo Also what’s in that little tub? If it’s water you could just skip the pee. They make these things way too easy!
@Olo To add on to what others are saying, I feel like “femgaze” stuff tends to go out of its way to really describe the giant and things like his status, personality, level of attraction, etc. That tends to be ignored in “malegaze” content, which is understandable since the appeal comes from the shrunken woman.
And that’s not to say femgaze creators just focus on making the giant hot. There can be a lot of variation- the context and motive is what’s truly important. He could be a shy, nerdier guy desperate to have a certain woman to himself. Maybe he’s wealthy, powerful, and handsome- he doesn’t NEED to do the whole shrinking thing, but he does it purely because it’s enjoyable for him. Or maybe he’s just an average dude that’s just trying to help the best he can. 
Of course, this can also apply to superficial things like hair and eye color and stuff. I love being able to visualize what the author is intending. But you can definitely leave physical descriptors open to interpretation as long as you convey things through his attitude and relationships.
@littlest-lily I love new hobbies - sharing them with someone else is just so special though! Even if they’re not interested themselves, the fact that they appreciate what you love is the best feeling in the world.
