I personally think it’s acting more like a slow-spreading curse than like a virus, based on that. I think the virus is the news media’s explanation of a mysterious phenom.

I was definitely leaning toward this interpretation. That it seems to propagate intolerance of queerness makes it all the more oppressive.

It’s a common trope for homophobes like Sean to decide to punish any gay man that falls into their clutches by raping them. Since he thought he was holding two shrunken gay men, I half-expected him to take them into the bathroom and jack off with/onto them. Only his fear of the “virus” stopped him.

@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?

@mrgoblinging7 I often imagine Valerie and Betty from Land of the Giants wearily trading war stories about the last time they fell into the clutches of a horny giant:

“So he starts to tear my skirt off, and I yell, ‘Let me do it!’”

“I know; it’s not like you can replace it at the local shop, right?”

“So then he tapes me down on the table and—”

“Lemme guess: he unbuckled his pants.”

“No, I never saw his dick! This guy just wanted to lick me!”

“Between your legs?”

“Nope, just my armpits and the soles of my feet.”

“You get all the pervs, Val. I’ve been washing my hair every day for six weeks and I can still smell the last guy’s jizz.”

Maybe an encounter with a flirtatious bi woman who hopes that lots of sex with men will make her immune.

Innoculated by jizz. Booster shots daily.

I forgot to mention that I enjoyed the “Transitive” pun in the title.

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)

Isn’t a Borrower’s life tough enough without having to diagnose the mental health of the biggos you’re dodging?

@littlest-lily I presume Aiden’s relationship status remains: “It’s complicated.”

If Evie likes swimming pools, she’s gonna love bathtubs.

Provocatively, when Rebecca Sugar wrote her Sizey song for Steven Universe, she didn’t write “All I wanna do is see you turn into a giantess.” I don’t think we need to limit ourselves to a single-word term for “male giant” or “giant man.”

Now I can’t stop thinking about a shrunken woman who stuffs her bra with jelly beans.

@littlest-lily

Any dollhouse I might own would be a single-story and have a hinged-roof. You can’t hide from me.

@tiny-ivy I suppose he has godlike invulnerability, because otherwise there’s no way I’m letting that chopper get that close to my junk.

What I would give to truly be in his world again, just for a moment. [Emphasis added]

Whoa.

@nataliethetiny Isn’t that where the shrunken Halliwell sisters got housed?

@smolchlo Okay, but your supervisor and I are going to meet and put you on a performance plan. Failure to make immediate progress will result in escalation.
