@foreverlurk I went looking for an online German translation of Gulliver’s Travels and I found this. Who knows what we’ll get this time?

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)

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.”

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.

Trying to keep and modify “giant” seems futile. In English the suffix “-ess” is how a generic noun is “marked” as female. It’s a deliberately sexist construction, assuming the default person is male.

I think we’d be better off using another synonym altogether or even inventing entirely new words.

I agree that we need a better term for male giants, if only for the Size community. I actually find the word “giantess” to be both tired and too narrow for the many purposes to which it is put. If we’re getting into the business of defining new terminology for the Size community, we might also want to consider making a distinction between true giants who are larger than the rest of society and normal-size men who interact with anomalously tiny people.
