@littlest-lily “Giants keeping tinies warm from the cold” is probably one of my favorite scenarios.

@SmolChlo Ngl, it would be fascinating to watch someone not into size kink try to engage in it. Just watching them try to figure out what you find appealing about it. It might be attractive and definitely amusing to witness.

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.

@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…

size kinks are cute and relatively harmless

I’ve said this before on here, but the very few people I have mentioned this to described it as “adorable”. Luckily with size kink, it can range from anything as innocent as cuddling to more… depraved topics. Don’t get me wrong, I love both ends of it, but it does make it easier when bringing it up to another person!

@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.

So Downsizing was written and directed by Alexander Payne, who had previously made such adult satirical movies as Citizen Ruth, Election, Sideways, and About Schmidt. Not only did those films have smart and funny scripts, they also featured scandalous scenes of full-frontal nudity that were more comical than arousing. There was every reason to believe that Payne would deliver the long-awaited mainstream size smut crossover, and he had the budget to do what none of us would even attempt in terms of special effects.

I was unaware of this, which I’m kind of thankful for because it spared me the disappointment. I couldn’t even imagine looking forward to that! I guess that explains why I didn’t hear much about it in any of our forums after it was released.

BUT the fact that both “normies” and the size community were craving more of that content is kind of promising no? And I feel over the past few years people online have been a lot more forward regarding “unusual” attractions they have. The internet lost its mind with Lady Dimitrescu.

@i-am-insane I love that music video too!!! I remember seeing a parody where at the end they all get eaten. But this was over a decade ago.

@foreverlurk Arrietty is a fun movie to show people. The animation is beautiful and so creative! Definitely a movie to turn your brain off to, but I love seeing reactions to it.

gi-curious commentary

Lol

I remember when the movie Downsizing was about to come out, I was all excited to see how normies would process it. Then it flopped and I was glad everyone quickly forgot about it.

This movie is actually very interesting to me because (and correct me if I’m wrong because I haven’t personally seen it, so I don’t know how true these criticisms are) it seemed like a lot of people were disappointed the movie strayed away from further world-building. Like they were excited to see these special effects and quirks and stuff but then the movie just took a totally different turn.

I’m glad the post resonated with someone else! I was worried I sounded gross or like I was trying to project my own kinks onto other people. I really am just fascinated by how people might respond to it. I would like to tell a partner one day, so I guess that’s the source of that concern?

I know there have been a few size-related scenes in a lot of shows or movies recently. I don’t really use social media anymore, but I imagine people’s responses to it would be super interesting. Of course, it all depends on how the content is depicted in the first place.

@i-am-insane Oh yes for sure! I definitely think there are ways to make this type of content more palatable to people who don’t fetishize it (I mean, all of human history we’ve had stories, religions, and art featuring giants or tiny people). It could even be a way for someone to find out they enjoy the more passionate side of it.

But I do want to clarify about my response that I’m not trying to convince people to like size content, if that makes sense? Like I DEFINITELY would never pressure someone about it. But sometimes you’ll hear like a celebrity say something or someone IRL will do something that makes you wonder what kind of giant or tiny they would make.

Typically I just daydream about stories I want to write, but sometimes I’ll have the most random thoughts as I go through my day. They seem pretty typical for this community though, so here’s a weirder one I’m wondering if any of you can relate to: I love imagining peoples reactions to size content. Good or bad, I’m just fascinated by people’s thoughts on it (beyond the “wow how strange!” part). Like how into it would they be? What role would they want to play? How would they feel towards someone who was really into it?

And I don’t mean this in a way where I’m trying to project my own fantasies onto them, or hope they’re going to love it as much as I do. It is just a genuine fascination. I don’t have the guts to bring it up to anyone though.

It’s interesting that the episode draws so many connections between unaware and non-consensual scenarios. I suppose it makes sense based on how it relates to body exploration and other themes, but I personally prefer situations where nobody was intentionally overstepping their bounds- the unaware situation just sort of unfolds at the misfortune of the giant and tiny. Aborigen does briefly address this, I just think it’s fascinating how different our perspectives on these things can be.

I loved the connection between a giant stomping through a city and a shrinking unaware scenario. I’m not so much into giants as much as I am shrinking, so that really helped me further understand the appeal.

Excellent job representing the M/f side of things @Olo You did great!

I’m not a Marvel person so I don’t know who any of these characters are, but what a fun little interaction. The animation is great for the movements, and the voice acting makes their interaction so charming.
