@foreverlurk Yeah good news is I got those too, but yeah, we could set up a cloud drive once we archived everything. I do notice a lot of this is French Canadian dubs, I assume that’s the big difference?

Oh right, I’m Québécois so I collected a lot of those from QC or French sources.

Back in the old days, the copyright algorithms weren’t as good and using anything other than English was a way to bypass them. But not it’s more a personal preference since it’s my native language, and also because I know I can’t be the only Québ’ with a size kink out there and there’s not enough size content in French imho.

Which ones were taken down?

Mako Mermaids, To Love Ru (even censoring the nudity, it was blocked), Mini Ninjas, Spidey & friends, a couple from Worst Witch, that Russian Nutcracker version, and a bunch more which are blocked in random countries, like Totally Spies are blocked almost everywhere but the US

It’s annoying because they’re available for a while, sometimes for a whole week, and then “BOOM” taken down without notice. I don’t have copyright strikes so far. Oh well, it’s still a backup for my collection even if they’re not publicly available.

@SmolChlo said in Tall and Short Make a Match:

Made me wonder if their insinuating that some people bury and ignore their genuine preferences for whatever looks good or is deemed acceptable by society.

This behaviour sounds adjacent to the Halo effect, which associates traits like being fat means you’re lazy, being tall means you’re powerful, being beautiful means you’re a good person.

Consequences of that unconscious tendency? There’s the height wage gap, where tall people make more money on average. There’s the beauty card that let you get away with almost everything. That sort of things might explain why some people prefer to have a taller mate (and, consequently, offspring).

@skysayl said in Tall and Short Make a Match:

I feel like it’s suggesting shorter women are preferable for flings.

Yeah, that’s a rather weird conclusion to draw from the data.

Also, specific to Canada but being short/taller than average height can vary by provinces, as those of British descent are usually taller than those of French ancestry (ie. Quebec has shorter men and women, by about an inch on average)

I wonder if they cross-referenced that with the average number of partners. To answer meaningfully a question like “do you have a preference for height” and “how long was your relationship”, you need to have had multiple relationships / data points. Otherwise it’s not statistically significant.

For instance I’ve only ever had three, maybe four “serious” relationships in my life, and while I can empirically say I have a preference for shorter women, but it’s not a dealbreaker. I wouldn’t turn down someone based on that alone.

@Olo Oh thanks, that’s awesome to hear you discovered something new. I’m curious which one? Like I said I’m only starting so there should hopefully be a few other gems in there.

Hello there!

At first I just wanted to share this cute video, but then I thought why not also share my new YT channel, where I’m currently posting my ridiculously large collection of SW videos. I’m so far from being done yet! I know a lot of you have found it recently, but maybe some people here weren’t aware.

Here it is:
https://www.youtube.com/@foreverlurk83

Of course this is YT so it’s mostly SFW stuff

I’m trying to organize the rest of my stash (comics, audios, NSFW, etc), that will probably go into my shared Google Drive. I won’t share media from the community (unless they’re free and hard to find!), only from mainstream videos and comics.

Enjoy!

One guy, for example, described interactions with short women as physically awkward when it came to hugs and kisses.

W-what!?!

Very interesting study, I can’t say I can relate to the height-to-duration-of-relationship ratio but fascinating nonetheless.

@blehb It’s very interesting to me, but mind this isn’t representative statistically when done in a single “contemporary society class” at college. Maybe a more rigorous survey wouldn’t have the same results.

Kink aside, I’ve always found shorter women cute, but that’s just my preference. Although I cannot be entirely sure it’s not my size fetish taking over, hehe.

I’m an inch below average for guys in my country and while it does limit the dating pool, it never bothered me that much. Once shrunk, they’re all mouse-sized to me

@skysayl hehe honestly IRL I would never have mustered enough courage to say what I actually think. Maybe if I make it should like a joke, ah-ah. But seriously, 5’ 7" seems rather tall for women, no? “Ideal” height my arse. I think prehistoric women were peak if you look at that table of historical heights.

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.

Just an… interesting newspaper clipping I stumbled upon while searching for something else entirely! Fun illustration.

@littlest-lily said in Uneven Results:

@foreverlurk Dammit! So much for a micro size benefit being harder to spot…

My eyes had some training in VR, but honestly I’m like a T-Rex, my detection is based on movement hehe.

I’ll admit those quartz surface are my nemesis when trying to spot speck girls, they blend in the existing ones.

@ChiisanaKurisu Chii! Hello down there! waves

Make yourself at home in the Dollhouse, I can show you around, hop in!

Oh, can I have the smallest one?

No, I mean the tiniest.

Argh, no, THAT one (points at speck trying to make a run for it)
