it’s not like SM and GTS rare this super rare, niche within a niche and hard to find thing. Why is he even following me?!
He needs to tell you that you’re wrong. It’s not just about avoiding things that he doesn’t like…he needs to actively stamp it out. That’s the part that irritates me the most because it discourages people from participating in the community and dang it, I really want to see more M/f creators.
@Olo As long as it’s kept to fantasy, I try not to judge preferences like “all-men-shrink-because-reasons.” I’ve explored the opposite concept myself (which turned out to be some of my darkest stories).
I’ve always liked the idea of everyone shrinking but one or two people. It’d be interesting to see how the normal-sized person reacts. As a savior? A destroyer? You can create dozens of different stories just from that one concept.
@blehb I usually prefer temporary unawareness and I love the moment when the giant discovers a tiny person. Does he react with concern and compassion? “Oh, there’s a tiny person! Can I help you?” Or does he react with a devilish smile and then snatch them up?
I’ve always been fascinated by size differences, and for me it mostly comes down to power. Villains play a huge part in my size fantasies and many of my favorite scenarios are cruel in nature. I struggled with this a lot when I was younger, although I’ve come to terms with the fact that my fantasies are merely outlets and don’t reflect my own beliefs.
I’ve also started to appreciate gentle scenarios more, although even in gentle scenarios I adore fearplay and exploration of power imbalances. I love the idea of a giant being able to be kind or cruel, depending upon his mood.
I like both shrinking and growth scenarios, but I lean more toward the man growing huge because I love the idea of someone having so much power over everything else. At that point, he becomes a force of nature, like a living tornado or earthquake.
I usually prefer having the larger role, and when I do imagine myself as the smaller one, it’s with a giant-sized man (as opposed to shrinking myself). The idea of being shrunken causes me a lot of stress and it’s not something that I like to imagine at all.
I’ve found that most people respect this, but occasionally, someone would try to tease me by telling me that they’d shrink me.
@Olo Thank you!
And this is how people often react when I say that I like very small/large men.
“Oh, you mean like 6 feet tall?”
“More like 60 feet tall…”
@miss-lillipants Size difference should be measured in meters, not centimeters.
From the article:
"Reddit’s multiple foot-fetish subreddits are nearly all created for men—their homepages solely show pictures of female feet, and one of the biggest subreddits, r/FootFetish, warns that “Female nudity is welcome here” but male nudity “is not allowed.”
Giant men male feet are so gross! They are not allowed to exist ever!
"Katherine also feels ashamed of having a foot fetish, which is partly why she never tells her partners about it. “I see a lot of men with this fetish and I think they give it a bad name,” she said. “A lot of them are incredibly obsessive and intense, even creepy.”
It’s eerie how similar this is to the size community. Just change a few words and this could be an article about us.
@Olo Everyone has their limits, and that’s okay. My own fantasies can be exceedingly dark and depraved but I’ve occasionally stumbled across content that I didn’t wish to explore. I think that the important thing is respecting the fantasies of others (as long as it’s kept to fantasy, of course. I always add that because there are certain lines that should never be crossed in real life).
And just to say, I’m glad that you embraced your M/f side. I’m a fan of your work in general, both M/f and F/m 
@Olo That was a thoughtful and respectful essay covering a topic that often becomes heated in the size community. I’ve always been into the darker side of the fantasy and you touched upon some of the concerns that I’ve experienced, including whether having such fantasies makes someone immoral. Before I discovered the size community, I felt a tremendous amount of guilt for what I liked; even now, I occasionally feel shame about it. Thank you for exploring the topic; while I can’t speak for everyone, it certainly makes me feel less alone and ashamed.
@Olo “This is GiantESS City!”
Meanwhile, I’m taking out my binoculars for a better view…
@miss-lillipants Tricked again 
I’ve bought so many books and other media based on the fact that they appeared to be giant-related.
Also, agreed, he is very easy on the eyes 
@kisupure When I saw that there were new chapters, I was very excited, and oh my god, they were fantastic. You write some of the best tension scenes in macro fiction and I find myself rereading certain parts just to savor all of the emotions. I mentioned this before but one of the things that I enjoy the most about this story is the gradual humanization of the Anakim. They go from being faceless monsters to complex beings with surprising motivations. Really good stuff!
