While I think the Sabrina Carpenter cover thing is not the best example to talk about a woman’s expression of their sexuality etc. (because is she? Or does she want to promote her music? Maybe, maybe not, it’s certainly got us talking about it), it’s opened up a much-needed discussion around “choice feminism” more broadly, i.e. the re-focussing (distracting, even) on the individual level rather than the systemic.

Here’s a snippet of a lecture that I saw the other day that gives some historical context https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSkKVJVUx/

This Is How You Lose the Sex Wars

Trying to pick a pathway through forty years of the ugliest conflict in feminism.

This is a nice reflection and really highlights the complexities of reconciling seemingly very polarised perspectives. It’s possible, and I think a lot of people overthink it. But also very difficult especially with so much distraction (sometimes intentional, sometimes not) from larger systemic issues, and social contexts constantly in flux.

@foreverlurk haha true, trope is probably not the right word. Whatever the equivalent is for an entire plotline.

If you’d still like to pursue some writing exercise, but having trouble with direction, you could consider doing a series of separate short stories set in a particular universe, rather than a single overarching story (which can come later if you figure something out).

I’ve always been into giants, tiny people and especially fairies, but I would pinpoint my “awakening” to M/f was Captain Planet S6E3, Frog Day Afternoon when Wheeler and Linka (who was my favourite character) are shrunk by Dr Blight. Wheeler reverts back to normal size first and has a brief but rather cheeky interaction with Linka. I’d have been around 5yo at that point.

I was exposed to sexual size content at around 15 or 16, but it made me uncomfortable and I had a complicated relationship with sex in general, let alone a fetish. I didn’t really get into it until I was maybe 20. I still very much have my preferences, but my tastes have changed over the years with regard to what I do and don’t tolerate.

@tiny-ivy I think green is referencing a scene from Zoolander.

Great finds btw am definitely down on this potential trend.

Of course it’s all relative, I’d feel as turned on as a giant if I saw a normal sized girl roaming around, I’d have to grab her immediately and I’d have a good time.

And I think that’s true for some people and to some extent for others, hence the post in the first place. In saying that, absolutely agree that it’s really lovely to learn and share our own preferences, kinks and thoughts with others with the same/similar interests

I’ve always found it easier and more comfortable to be a sort of observer and to relate to characters in situations rather than be invovled myself. I’ve only broken this rule in my dA and Tumblr days during roleplays, comics or other visual aids that are meant to act as “behind the scenes” resources of my characters or world building (or just general silliness), where I have an avatar to represent me. Even then, I’ve rationalised “her” as not really me either, but a character or caricature.

I think it goes hand-in-hand with my preference to avoid involving real people in my fantasies - no friends, no family, no celebrities, not even some random hottie I happened to pass by. Insipried by them, maybe, but never themselves.

@Olo that’s when a helping hand wouldn’t go astray

@Nyx said in An appreciation for GIANTS:

I’ve seen it argued that there is more intimacy when it comes to shrinking and that the normal-sized person and the shrunken person can focus more on one another. In growth, the rest of the world is often involved (which I happen to like). This intimacy may be appealing to a lot of people.

Oh I remember reading something like this, that’s a good point. I was wondering if that, on top of this, a lot of guys might feel uncomfortable because of how exposed a giant would be (or the though of being so public). But I could simply be projecting.

I’d be down for a SFW group, Discord server, or sub-board, where we can somehow verify the age of participants, and have a space to chat between adults.

Seconding this. Whatever is easy to maintain.

Having been on SFW and NSFW boards as a minor into adulthood, I can appreciate having a space that is dedicated to sharing or discussing SFW content with the flexibility of discussing more mature topics.

I don’t want to infantalise young people who are coming to terms with being more sexually active and they should be free to safely explore that - I’d be a hypocrite to deny that as someone having been fortunate enough to be shown mostly patience and guidance along the way. But it’s the interaction between adults and minors that can be difficult to navigate. I’m sure I and fellow young’ns at the time on the Min’s forum made the adults pretty uncomfortable just by being present, so I simply did not engage with sexual content (which was fine because I wasn’t into it at the time). And now that I’m on the other side of that, I’m wary too.

In any case, happy to support this!

@Nyx thank you! Hoping to create a little more

@Olo said in Let Me Get This Straight:

The neglect of what has been called the “ecology” of giants is a major obstacle to me enjoying a lot of true giant|ess smut.

I’m also glad to see others notice the difference is demands/expectations for logistics between SW/GT and SM/GTS content. I totally understand and appreciate wanting to rationalise an improbable thing into reality - magic, science (known or unknown), aliens, etc. People are so creative and amazing with what they know, but sometimes I just think, “why is this important?” Sometimes I just want to enjoy a giant for the sake of him being a giant - the practical side of being a giant in a world that probably can’t support him is interesting, but sometimes not crucial. At the risk of sounding dismissive, it is a fantasy after all.

In the end, the giant man is my object, and what he does is what I wish for him to do, and what I wish to witness - just as giantesses, despite their position of power, are the object of someone else’s (mostly men’s) desire. I think a lot of straight men find being literal giants hard to reconcile because of how so many fantasies are tailored them - they don’t need an excuse to put women into positions, but when those tables turn and men become the focus of someone else’s fantasy, it’s got to work for them, which centres them again (even if it’s got nothing to do with them). There are exceptions of course, and the beauty of fetishes is how varied and diverse they are.

Your original post was cute and funny but it really does reflect the push-back I’ve read from guys who are clearly very resistant to the idea. In saying that, I go back to my initial response being:

Yeah, nice try convincing us that any of that bothers you at all

@foreverlurk ha! Didn’t even notice that!

Fyi though: it’s not shown in the picture, but there’s a diagram on the ground below the sign for people with mobility aids (scooters, etc.) to check if they are able to make a 180-degree turn within a 2070mm x 1540 mm area (i.e. for when they board the train).

@Olo it is very cool! And mostly free (some purchases if you want extra assets).

Another advantage for me is it lets me easily visualise the scale of the subjects at different levels or against different parts of the body. For example, a tiny might not seem so tiny when in the hand, but it’s different if they’re on the ground next to a foot. Or even if placed on the shoulder. Thanks to that, I’ve been able to settle on a single preferred ratio for my fantasies, rather than keep questioning whether someone is too big or too small.

And on the topic of being swallowed whole, the app’s also helped in realising whether the tiny is too big (or the giant too small, whichever way it may be).

Otherwise, I’d been relying on articulated artist’s models for a long time - more recently, I found a 4" one that’s been amaaaazing and I love her.
