No need to apologize.

@sloppy_amy I actually used this base photo for a size collage, but unfortunately for this forum it was F/m.

I’m going to make a generalization and say that looking at an image of a random person or celebrity and deciding to incorporate that image into a personal sexual fantasy is a form of entitlement that anyone can indulge in but is massively encouraged by the male gaze. Men in our society have no problem speculatively placing anyone and anything into a sexual context, and this extends to discussion prompts like “Wouldn’t [X} make an awesome giantess?” and the thousands of sizey photoshops we’ve seen since the dawn of the Internet. I’m not saying this always wrong, exactly, but it’s an artifact of our sexist culture and we shouldn’t be surprised when women are less likely to engage in it.

The whole issue of photoshopping people without their consent (or legal permission to use the photos) is complicated because, to be blunt, Size Fantasy as a genre might not have become as popular as it is today without it. Today we have hundreds and hundreds of Size artists, writers, render artists, models, actors, and other creative people producing specifically with a Size fetish audience in mind. Thirty years ago we, uh, didn’t. Individual fetishists were creating for themselves, but they probably would never have started sharing their creations if they didn’t think there was an audience for it. In the 90s, simple photoshops of celebrities enlarged to 500-feet-tall were thrillingly easy to make and circulate, rapidly demonstrating that an audience for Size Fantasy did in fact exist. These days I don’t look twice at most Size photo collages, because tailored Size illustrations and renders exist in plenty. We also have models and actors who are intentionally posing to be 'shopped into Size collages, and those always make me smile. We now have the luxury of disregarding celebrity photo collages and pirated porn.

It’s kinda similar to how I’m not interested in fanfiction either and would much rather read original content involving size.

So here is where I admit that my autism is something of a hindrance to enjoying Size content. When I first started browsing Size Tumblr, I was flummoxed by all the characters from anime and videogames being shoehorned into size scenarios. Did these shows or games have regular Size themes? Some basic research indicated that no, they were from all manner of genres and didn’t particularly lend themselves to the scifi or supernatural genres where growth and shrinking were possible. It took me probably longer than necessary to realize that the artists and 3D modelers were using established characters from known fandoms because that’s all they had to work with. The fact that their giantess waifu was from a show where no one ever grew or shrank wasn’t an obstacle for them, but it was a constant frustration to me.

For me, the goal was to enjoy size differential itself, not imagine how established characters would appear and respond to a mixed-size juxtaposition. The backstories of these characters was a distraction at best and often spoiled the whole illusion. If they were from a genre where a Size encounter made sense, fantasy magic or superheroes, say, it was easier to accept. Giant Mulder or Shrunken Scully, sure. The Tiny Housewives of Beverly Hills, not so much.

So, yes, please, create original characters and settings for your Size scenarios. Put a little work into how they got that way. Take pity on the literal-minded.

@miss-lillipants I’m totally stealing that whistle idea.

@sloppy_amy It was more amusing this way.

@littlest-lily I almost linked this, too (it’s a three-hour video). Key concept: “Disavowal.” Enjoying guilt-inducing pleasure by attributing the desire for it to the monster and disavowing that you wanted it yourself.

I keep having moments of pausing and wondering “should I share my stuff here? There’s nothing sexual in this one at all, there isn’t even anything romantic!”

It all contributes to the collective faith in, as Aborigen put it, Someplace This Was Real.

@hentaihunter1

@littlest-lily Funnily enough, this was the first one (!). It was recommended by another Size writer who watched it and was chagrined to realize that his most recent story was actually a gender-swapped Twilight, to which I replied with:

@skysayl I’m pretty sure we’re not paying for Peacock, so I’ll have to come up with a mundane explanation to add it.

@sloppy_amy I think that’s Colon Class.

@littlest-lily In our society, anything teenage girls like must be destroyed.

the sheepish courting (“is this a date?”)

Invites speculation on how intra-giant romance normally plays out. Does Silas have an ex?

@giant-keith The artist made this in response to a suggestion of mine for a male scientist examining a bound tiny woman, but he threw in the giantess. It’s fine, I suppose, but he never continued the sequence, and I don’t know what the device the giantess is holding is or what she intends with it.

@mrgoblinging7 Of course you weren’t being unreasonable. Basic courtesy required them to honor your requests and boundaries. People seem to forget their manners on the internet, particularly in the anonymous world of smut.

I wouldn’t consider this person’s conduct acceptable even if they paid for a commission in advance, which I’m guessing they didn’t. If this was an unpaid request (aka a favor), I would have thought you justified in dropping the whole project after the first time you set some boundaries and they ignored it.
