I do think that sometimes something blows up with the mainstream in a bad way (ie I think there are a whole lot of misconceptions about what furries are, which leads to unfortunate levels of mocking/derision from the general population).

I think that acceptance of kinks have come a long way but there are definitely pockets of resistance, and I’ve seen furry art/vore art/other art mocked because people aren’t into it. In those cases, I think that those in the community should continue to pursue their interest and create art, stories, etc. Even if it’s never accepted by mainstream audiences, it will inspire others who share the same interests.

I will say that sometimes it’s bad behavior on the part of the community, and that should be addressed. I’m thinking specifically of the size community, who will sometimes harass real life models and companies about their kinks. It stops being about enjoying the fantasy harmlessly through art/fiction and starts to affect real life people.

@Nyx I thiiink that part of the reason 50 shades got a lot of flack was for it not being the best representation of what BDSM actually is, so the fact that it got so mainstream was potentially a disservice for the kink community. But also I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the backlash came from harmless reasons (like it being “porn for moms” )

It’s fictional and has many of the same vibes as other romance novels (which shouldn’t necessarily translate into real world relationships, either). If it had tried to sell itself as a nonfiction BDSM guide, I would have agreed with those critics. But most viewers can separate reality from fantasy (as is the case with horror and video games). Not to say that the novels were perfect; I had trouble getting into them, especially since Christian Grey was way too small

Adult me shamelessly loves trashy romance/smut.

I have bought (and will continue to buy) books based on the fact that there was a hot monster guy on the cover.

(not that I’m a big Twilight fan, but I was a bit frustrated by the sheer amount of hate that it got)

Same. I was never into Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey, but it’s frustrating how much hate those books received. I remember seeing a thread in the giantess community about how problematic Fifty Shades was, and many of the people who were responding liked things like crush and vore and murder. There were a lot of stones being thrown in glass houses…

@SmolChlo I get the impression that we’re all nerds here and it’s one of the things that I love about the site

@blehb said in What celebrities would you want to see more of in sizekink content?:

All this talk about Henry Cavill, though. With him working on the Warhammer 40k series we might have plenty of size content to look forward to. A lot of the more powerful characters in that series can range from 8-15 feet tall. I know characters can manipulate their size to be hundreds of feet tall as well. Very exciting!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

My experience has been that a lot of women tend to keep their fantasies to imaginary characters (there are soooooo many size fanfics/fan pics of the brothers from Supernatural and Link from Zelda and more recently, Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3). While I prefer original characters, I’ll read fanfics as long as the character acts appropriately to the source material.

I have noticed that men tend to fantasize about real life people more, and while Henry Cavill and Chris Hemsworth are incredibly attractive, it feels odd to imagine them randomly rampaging through a city.

I do what others have mentioned and take features that I like and create my own character so that I can shamelessly pit him against tiny civilizations

@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

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.

@miss-lillipants Size difference should be measured in meters, not centimeters.

@SmolChlo Yesssss! Hamster balls make convenient storage spaces (when the giant isn’t storing tiny people in a pocket or elsewhere)

@SmolChlo Tiny people in hamster balls!

@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…”

@Olo Is it possible to post a screenshot for those without Reddit accounts? (That includes me…I’m not able to see it because it’s NSFW )

@Olo Giant eyes are both amazing and terrifying and they reinforce that the massive being looming over you is very much aware of your existence.
