“Sinbad, how can you love a tiny, insignificant female such as I?”

Rest in peace, princess.

@miss-lillipants I am beyond hyped for this series!

I love that they’re still going for a serious tone overall, in spite of this being labeled as a comedy. Lots of information in the article, like Lindy seems to be a very successful woman, a Pulitzer Prize winner no less. Her reaction to being shrunk seems to be mostly anger which is always fun to me Oh and they are going to be using lots of oversized props and practical effects!

Can’t wait to see the trailer, which should be out in the next few weeks…

@blehb “what kind of nonsense is this” haha

The things we do for size content

Well, screw you Google Gemini, I got around your stupid little filter. Here’s me, reinforcing the patriarchy and contributing to harmful societal norms!

Can’t you feel the utter objectification of this poor, tiny, powerless woman?!

@maladaptivetiny I think there might have been a thread at some point but I don’t mind another.

I’ve been daydreaming sizey thoughts almost all my life, and I suspect it’s what kept my imagination and wonder alive after all these years. Like everything it evolved in time, ie. when I was younger daydreams during school were common, either my teacher or classmates shrinking, my mind would wander off hehe. It can still happen but now it’s more like vague, super quick intrusive size thoughts when, say, I’m bored in a meeting.

I don’t know if it counts as daydreaming or not, but I’ve always done the quick “looking at my empty palm” thing, just for a few seconds, imagining there’s a tiny girl just chilling there.

You mention before falling asleep - those can be more intense and complex because during daytime I’d rather keep things PG-13 otherwise I’m not functional lol. My go-to is kinda too personal to share - but it can be both comforting or erotic depending on my mood.

Okay, that Dr. Helen Friedman really triggered me.

Suggesting psychological issues, abuse(!) and a sadistic mother!? I had a very happy childhood and a loving, caring mother. Then her take on the rules of “healthy sexuality”, like she’s the gatekeeper of it all. And yet, Helen, I was turned on by the idea of tiny girls WAYYY before I even knew what sex was… Me, at 9yo, wishing so bad a Borrower girl lived in my walls, not really understand why.

I’m convinced individuals like her (and the spread of similar ideas) contribute to the guilt many of us have experienced at some point. Their approach, steeped in religious and pseudo-Freudian concepts, seems heavily influenced by religious values and ideologies.

I still wish a real, scientific and peer-reviewed study was available on the subject.

@miss-lillipants Oh cool, another series to add to my list!

And yes, growing up I remember all my friends watching Transformers while I was hooked on Robotech / Macross. Always loved Mecha animes! Of course the sizey content also didn’t hurt:

Love this scene so much:

Piloting a mech and holding a tiny lady, that would have been young Lurk’s dreams. I guess I have a knack for impossible things (thankfully, VR gave me a taste of both hehe)

@Olo The struggle of having a LG heart but a TN’s desires. I’m an oathbreaker!

@Aborigen Just finished listening, thanks again so much for reaching out to our little corner of the community. I think you painted a good picture representing the diversity of the SW and M/f side of things, and it makes me curious to read all the “raw” answers you got in the questionnaire! And nice shout out of to my favorite Dr. Helen Friedman, and her “wOmeN cAn’t hAve sIZe fAntAsiEs!” diagnostic.

Fully half of the responses were not from giant men or tiny women, but normal-sized men who appreciate tiny women. One thing these people have in common with giant men is that they’d like it known their interests aren’t misogynistic or power-tripping

This needs to be repeated ad nauseam, it correlates to some of the harrassment I mentionned on GTS City or DA. Like I said in my answers, I know it’s just a few rotten apples most people are not like that, but we can’t pretend they don’t exist in the community.

@giantmaneddie I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who’s into the “SW controlling her giant” trope! I mean, when I’m not feeling like an asshole or when I want to imagine something more of a loving relationship with a tiny woman, there’s no denying she could hold sway over us, more than she realizes perhaps.

Forgot to mention this little excerpt:

I can’t imagine having to answer to that question while keeping a straight face. I certainly would have brought the average down a bit hehe.

It’s one of the better articles, for sure, but unless I fail at English it does still seem very focused on giantesses and shrunken men?! Which is perfectly understandable with them being the majority and all, easier to tackle for writing about it from a normie’s POV.

I’m always puzzled by the experts takes on this (Joe Kort). I feel that correlation != causation should apply to “I watched Land of the Giants and it made me a size fetishist”. I think they got it wrong. Maybe it simply awakens something pre-existing, sleeping inside your mind that just so happens to react to that stimuli?

Like, I had no childhood traumas, no dominating father or mother (she was 4’10" and sweetness). While I did enjoy watching size content from a very early age, it was more a consequence than the cause of my fetish. I surely didn’t feel the desire to dominate my parents growing up, and yet here I am. I honestly don’t know beyond “I’m wired this way” or “hurr-durr me likes tiny woman!”

I still lament the lack of serious studies on the subject.

@blehb said in Another Size Kink Article:
Somewhat related, but has anyone noticed the increase in “switches” recently? I

I know! It’s like almost everyone is a switch nowadays (and/or bi, but I digress). All the more power to them, I’m low-key jealous but I’m sadly stuck with my “cishet-normal-sized-dude-who-likes-to-shrink-down-ladies”. Doesn’t roll off the tongue, there should be a word for that.
