Short-medium answers:
I prefer mouthplay to vore. And to me, the appeal of mouthplay is its intimacy and the thrill of its precariousness. It is both threatening, but - as a fluff/romance fan - also an exercise in trust.
Whereas I’ve only relatively recently gotten into cockvore. And I’ve discovered that the the appeal there is the clear show of power, dominance and especially humiliation. The insertee can be a single person, a collective, a bus or train, or whole building - I don’t care, so long as they are miniscule in comparison to the giant. No tight squeezes; just drop, slide, disappear. Barely what you’d call a toy - more like fodder.
@TakoAlice8 the Amazon “classification” in the size community is likely just from the modern use of the term “Amazon” outside of the size community. “Amazon” has generally been attributed to not only warrior classes of women, but women who are muscular and also often tall (as in, taller than average and within the realms of realism). I would guess that the more exaggerated heights were a stylistic choice to… embellish or emphasise the perceived strength and power of the women, which we are all very familiar with.
So it was a natural choice for the size community to adopt to describe a particular preference for their fantasies, i.e. tall, strong, muscular women.
I prefer the role of the small one and will relate more with tinies in shrinking stories, but don’t find any appeal in being shrunk myself and prefer to be human sized. Like @Nyx, I would rather interactions with a literal giant man. I don’t like being in the big position, whether as a human with a tiny, or a literal giant with a human.
Tbh I have a bit of a complicated relationship with GTS content. Whilst I appreciate (and have appreciated) the appeal of being a giantesses, I also don’t like being in the spotlight, being a public subject, the “main event”, if you will, only magnified. Also, I daresay and sadly, my experiences relating to GTS content (whether in private or with others) have likely contributed to my feeling extra uncomfortable and being put off by a lot of it - in saying that, I am much more tolerant and open-minded than I was before, particularly with cute, fluffy GTS stuff.
I think it comes down to that I don’t seek the empowerment, strength or role that a giantess may be put into and which others might find appealing; whereas being the small/tiny presents its own challenges as well as opportunities to demonstrate those themes and qualities. But the simplest answer being that I just don’t like it, like on a physical level: I’m 5’3" (160cm) in RL and if I’m put in a position where I’m the tallest one in the room, it makes me very uncomfortable!
I’ve found that most people respect this, but occasionally, someone would try to tease me by telling me that they’d shrink me.
Boundaries are lost on some people 
@tiny-ivy it’s the classic case right? Totally understand: it’s tough and frustrating to have so little time already to engage with things, let alone to create a thing too. I’m sure you don’t want to half-ass it either - for others, but also for yourself. It takes a lot of time and energy, so thank you for whatever you are able to give to your fellow size fans, especially all of us towards the M/f side of things 
That is adorable and so nice 
good job, husband!
@Olo there’s no pleasing entitlement.
@foreverlurk Ignoring and blocking is a very fine approach to dealing with…hm, inappropriately forward people. I doubt you’ll miss them. They can perish in their abundance of Fm/SM content. However you decide to address them (or not!), don’t let them get you down. Plenty of others appreciate you sharing some pretty cool Mf/SW AI content.

Giant: “Really… you’re not even fighting me about this?”
Tiny: “Will it change anything?”
Giant: “No. not really… Not even a little bit?”
Tiny: “Sounds like too much work.”
Relateable :')
So scaredy giants are adorable. I would absolutely read a story about this - it’s very much like Arrietty’s first encounter with The Boy! Also, so many people are afraid of tiny things, it’s pretty funny. Unless you live in Australia, then even the tiny things really do try to kill you.
Wholesome stories are always welcome in my book 
@littlest-lily cameras on phones are wonders for smol perspectives, but the illusion is also very easy to break if it’s not done carefully or thoughtfully. Though I imagine we’re an audience that’s a bit harder to please since we’re much more perceptive and sensitive to this kind of stuff (hence also why I also prefer audio at this stage).
Atlas ASMR put out a really nice video a couple of years ago which is one of the very few ASMR acting videos that I still REALLY like. Wonderful angle and the sound is just…MMPH. You may have already seen it, but sharing for anyone curious https://youtu.be/f3cR9ALOacE?si=hxyd5s-3Cq8eyQJO
This comic distracted me for DAYS. God, it’s done so well. I wasn’t a big fan of Astarion before, but this made me ease up on him and give him a chance (I know the comic isn’t canon, but that dialogue 🤌)
I wanted to add: the TV version of Hannibal Lecter. Aside from Mads being an absolute babe (also, what a show), the character is an ideal candidate for a lot of fear-based size scenarios - some situations being more obvious than others. I’ve definitely drawn on him for inspiration for characters and stories.
@SmolChlo I can ham up the Australian drawl. That tends to be a pleaser for some reason (jk, I know why - we sound ridiculous).

This makes me wonder if Colliaz wasn’t, in fact, a victim of DA’s notorious practice of deleting size kink accounts without warning.
Same. Not going to try to psychologise, but they weren’t in a good headspace, poor thing.

Does “Deactivated” means the same thing as “Deleted”, on Deviantart? Fuck if she’s been taken down we ALL could.
I think, like social media accounts, DA doesn’t allow users to delete their accounts, but you can deactivate instead. Similar with submissions: I tried to do the same with my old account some time ago and they made it VERY hard for me to delete my own art - I had to opt for “archiving” or something that essentially made it unavailable for viewing by anybody (regardless of whether they saved it in their favs or had a link to it). It still remain on DA’s servers though, I guess. Likely something in the fineprint under and ownership clause, etc. It did the job, but I was/am still miffed about it.

there’s this obvious dynamic of, ‘I could do this to you. I won’t, because I’m not an asshole, but that has nothing to do with your ability to stop me.’
Yes, absolutely! A lot of gentle giant scenarios carry this sort of feeling already, but there’s that extra level of consciousness for characters built/trained to fight - as you say, a refined power. I absolutely love that with gentle giants, makes them that much more lovable. Be still, my beating heart.
