@frollo Pardon my frankness, but I can smell that collage from here.

I’d toss in my opinion that ANY sexual fantasy, sizey or otherwise involving a real person that you don’t know is inherently fictional because you don’t know them. I used to think I had a crush on Gillian Anderson because I’ve always been attracted to both redheads and very intelligent women. Years into the X-Files I saw her interviewed on a late-night talk show and was crushed because it turns out that she’s not very bright in person and I realized my crush was actually on the fictional Dana Scully. Fantasizing about a public figure who makes their living BEING a public figure isn’t just harmless, it’s the cost of doing business.

This seems correct to me.

Thats why i think men are the pervy and creepy gender women are more pure and innocent

@tiny-ivy Score! A fully-stocked cabin all to themselves!

You are 100% correct that holding a tiny in your hand is intoxicating, and putting one in your mouth is like heroin.

@Giganto82 They’re afraid of catching Teh Gay.

@tiny-ivy Nasty! I love it.

The club should record the audio/video from everyone’s first encounter and sell the compilation. I’d buy it.

Something about Laura makes me feel she used to be a club manager or perhaps a patron.

I think there’s room for people just ever so slightly unnaturally large. 7-footers are rare but they’re not unheard of. What most people expect to see when they look at a 7-footer is someone who is seven feet long. That’s markedly different than, say, a 5’9" dude proportionally enlarged to 7’0" in height. That person is going to get double-takes from everyone, but no one will be able to confidently say “that’s unnatural.”

Bigger than that and you have a guy who will have real difficulty navigating the built environment and will provoke people to call the authorities.

@i-am-insane This is what I think of when I hear She-Hulk being called “the Jade Giantess.” Weird how no one calls The Hulk “a giant,” huh?

@tiny-ivy I lost my job three months into COVID, and I’ve been temping and interviewing ever since. Eerily like contracting a shrinking plague.

German, another language with gendered nouns, has Riese and Riesin for male and female giants, respectively. Oddly, German uses the same word, Zwerg, to refer both to IRL people with dwarfism and to imaginary people who are Tom Thumb-sized. And yes, a female “dwarf” is a Zwergin.

(Tom Thumb is Daumling (Thumbling) in the original German Kinder- und Hausmärchen by the Brothers Grimm)
