Holy crap there’s something huge back there (not talking about the giant himself, but err…)

That being said IRL naturists are usually the chillest, most respectful people I’ve met. That guy is breaking about all the “laws” of nude beaches lol.

As Big G mentionned, any very short (5’2" and under) women can trigger spontaneous sizey thoughts. Even taller ones, depending on the vibe - yes, she’s hot, but what if smol

Otherwise it’s the most random things - a woman wearing an oversized piece of clothing, or struggling to reach the top shelf at the grocery store. Or just using an everyday expression (ie. “I’d like to be as small as a mouse to hear what they said in that meeting!”)

My mind wanders.

@blehb Nothing. There, I said it.

My only inner pockets are on my winter coat but they are very comfy, if too warm. You could literally wear nothing at all and still be comfortable. Did I just say my favourite clothing for SW is nothing? Damn.

Okay I’ll try again : I do love makeshift clothes, like hastily done only to recover some dignity. Anything a tiny woman fashions herself from bits and pieces of tissue, plastic, grass blades, whatever. It’s incredibly cute to my eyes. The classic tissue toga is the best.

@skysayl said in I found a crumb of M/f in a manga:

There was even a macrophile they interviewed who imagined herself as a tiny mouse to hide from everything that frightened her.

Such an interesting subject! I’ve recently had a discussion on the origins of our kink with a woman telling me almost the same thing verbatim - a way to deal with fears and trauma. There seems to be a good degree of correlation with anxiety overall.

Don’t know about other microphiles, I’ve mentioned before that one place it could stem from is extreme shyness. Social phobia wasn’t taken as seriously back then, especially in children (“oh it’s just a phase, it’ll pass”). I guess the thought of shrinking others, making myself bigger in some situations, might have been an internal coping mecanism?

The desire to protect (or control ) is harder to pinpoint - I always loved taking care of smaller animals, or looking after my younger siblings. Beyond that, I think I felt like I lacked control in my life - so having control over another smaller person could have been projection on my part.

Rendering someone helpless and harmless (ie. shrinking) meant I could approach her in spite of said shyness, annnd also act as caretaker. Don’t know if this makes any sense? How all this also became a kink, I’m at a complete loss to explain beyond “hurr durr, me wants tiny woman”

@i-am-insane ‘minigirl’ is pretty common for manga/manhwa, hentai and other Asian media, but hasn’t caught on anywhere else. Not having a single, easy word for “tiny woman” has been a problem for finding content since forever, made even worse by the enshittification of search engines over the years. “Shrinking woman” is even harder to look for, since you get lobbed with tons of irrelevant (to us!) stuff like weight loss, dwarfism, anorexia, etc.

@blehb said in Another Size Kink Article:

@foreverlurk Luckily, in defense of the article, the experts and personal experiences state it could be from more serious childhood experiences, OR something as innocent as a TV show. Which I think is reasonable.

Hehe seriously some experts really like to claim we’re all from the same basket. I guess my point is more that they are inferring the actual cause as being related to those TV shows or traumas, or some parental issues growing up. Their sources are non-existent or purely based on their own observations, aka “trust me bro”.

To be fair judging by the doctor’s TikTok he seems mostly versed in the shrunken men/giantess fetish.

@miss-lillipants Thanks for sharing that article. Sadly, I’ve yet to see some in-depth research done specifically for size kinks (we don’t talk about Dr. Helen Friedman).

I agree there’s no be-all / end-all explanation to their origin, I’m not trying to find a universal truth. I’d just like to understand myself better.

Awwww she’s such a cute SW!

Holy… from that angle it looks better than the CGI’d version!

@foreverlurk You are too good at creating a hateable character that we’ve all seen online. I beseech you, sir, please get into writing

20+ years of observing trolls on Reddit (and in the size community) sure helped!

Writing - uh, mayyybe? Hopefully the years haven given me more ideas than just my “Me want tiny woman. Me shrink woman. Ooga booga!” of my teens.

@miss-lillipants said in Reddit-style advice post (size edition):

It’s no Reddit post without some pitiable troll weighing in with pointless, muddled response, haha

That’s exactly what I thought, you guys were all being so wholesome and I was thinking “wait that’s not the Reddit I know!”

@blehb I love amour, the heavier the better. To be fair, armoured tinies can be fun too! I might have bought an 1/18 scale WH40K Adepta Sororitas, and even at 4 inches tall she’s pretty badass (and yes, the company is really called “JoyToy”)

@Olo I can still tell pretty easily, but then again I’ve spent hundreds of hours generating content and my eyes can spot the telltales of generative AI.

I do love the way you describe them as being statistically generated - a much better term IMHO, closer to reality (Markov Chain).

@Olo said in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire:

@i-am-insane Shobijin or GTFO.

I see once again you are a man of culture as well.

So, I know this isn’t r/relationship_advice but I figured since you brought the subject, there would be no harm in asking.

There’s this er, friend of mine who would be VERY interested in meeting a “Tiny” as you say. Well, I’m still not sure if your country’s tinies are normal-sized or not (this got confusing quickly!) but we do have Minus-virus-victims here (it’s no conspiracy!), and this “friend” has a huge crush on a lady who got the virus last year. He’s been helping her as her “designated giant” (or Big, if you will) to cope with the aftermath of her change in size, but beyond that the two have been getting to know each other with time.

He liked her even before she got small, but now it’s bordering on an obsession. He dreams about her and gets ridiculously nervous when he’s with her (I know, WTF, a Big nervous in front of a Tiny?!) and he doesn’t quite know how to make a move without scaring her? What if she doesn’t want a relationship with a Big? What if she thinks he’s a weirdo for even considering it? Also, can a Tiny even consent, truly, freely, in spite of the crazy power imbalance? Although all things considered, she does hold quite a lot of power over him, whether she knows it or not.

So, how would you suggest I… he approaches the situation, what’s the best course of action?

Thanks!

@blehb said in Giants or shrinking?:

I love the intimacy of it - like I’m some sort of secret or possession of theirs.

That’s an important aspect to explain why I want to remain normal size while I shrink my victim or loved one. Being a giant is a different experience, one where intimacy is much harder to achieve.

In regards to how these relationships are tagged, I usually just refer to the bigger person as the giant

The classic, “Oh no, I’m not a giant; you’re the one who’s tiny, my dear.”

@SmolChlo I may have poured a bit of reality along with the fiction in that piece.Tends to happen when you live your life wishing for an impossible fantasy, I guess.
