Need to get more First Nations stories in there. Lots of Biggos up north.

I feel like it takes a bit away from the sex appeal for me? I’d just love to see a scenario where the size difference is meant to be taken seriously.

I feel exactly the same. Given our society’s immaturity regarding sex, I don’t expect any mixed-size relationship to portrayed completely without humor, but I would like the participants not to be depicted as crazy or wholly in thrall to a weird fetish (or the tiny as an unwilling captive of a priapic giant). I genuinely think the appeal isn’t that difficult to appreciate.

BUT the fact that both “normies” and the size community were craving more of that content is kind of promising no? And I feel over the past few years people online have been a lot more forward regarding “unusual” attractions they have. The internet lost its mind with Lady Dimitrescu.

Absolutely. Deviance is becoming normalized. It’s been a long time since I’ve been single, but it does seem everyone has at least one weird little fetish and not being able to admit to some kink would raise eyebrows. Considering what’s out there and what people are willing to admit, size kinks are cute and relatively harmless.

@littlest-lily THIS. Horror in unquestionably one of most normie-accessible modes for introducing size content, and that’s almost certainly why I keep returning to it. (The other mode, of course, is comedy, which is why I expected Downsizing to get into some explicit sexytimes.)

@BigCuddlyGiant Wow, someone forgot a perfectly good umbrella. What a find!

[Downsizing] is actually very interesting to me because (and correct me if I’m wrong because I haven’t personally seen it, so I don’t know how true these criticisms are) it seemed like a lot of people were disappointed the movie strayed away from further world-building. Like they were excited to see these special effects and quirks and stuff but then the movie just took a totally different turn.

So Downsizing was written and directed by Alexander Payne, who had previously made such adult satirical movies as Citizen Ruth, Election, Sideways, and About Schmidt. Not only did those films have smart and funny scripts, they also featured scandalous scenes of full-frontal nudity that were more comical than arousing. There was every reason to believe that Payne would deliver the long-awaited mainstream size smut crossover, and he had the budget to do what none of us would even attempt in terms of special effects.

Unfortunately, Payne’s goal was about satirizing how narcissistic Americans pursue individual remedies rather than taking collective action. So, instead of reducing carbon emissions to mitigate global warming, a privileged few reduce themselves in the hopes that they will set a good example for the rest of the population. Much of the screen time is spent on several Downsized people interacting with each other and demonstrating the hollowness of the entire project.

Almost all of the special effects and tiny people interacting with Biggos was in the trailer. Even normies were expecting more of a fantastic experience. The review in The New Yorker actually referred to Brobdingnag from Gulliver’s Travels and said the film needed more giant-tiny sexytimes. It doesn’t get more disappointing than that.

@blehb Coming out of the cupboard certainly plays a role in trying to anticipate normies’ reactions. It’s always a fraught situation; you hope that the size content is able to explain its appeal, but at the same time it’s so easy for it to be cringey.

The reactions to Termite in The Boys and Little Cricket in Gen V have been all over the place, but that hasn’t kept me from trying to spot any gi-curious commentary.

I remember when the movie Downsizing was about to come out, I was all excited to see how normies would process it. Then it flopped and I was glad everyone quickly forgot about it.

@blehb said in Go-to sizey daydream?:

Here’s a weirder one I’m wondering if any of you can relate to: I love imagining peoples reactions to size content. Good or bad, I’m just fascinated by people’s thoughts on it (beyond the “wow how strange!” part). Like how into it would they be? What role would they want to play? How would they feel towards someone who was really into it?

And I don’t mean this in a way where I’m trying to project my own fantasies onto them, or hope they’re going to love it as much as I do. It is just a genuine fascination. I don’t have the guts to bring it up to anyone though.

I am probably more interested in normies’ reactions to size content than I am in kinksters’ reactions, tbh. I’m no longer trying to “recruit” people into size fantasy, but I do think it doesn’t have to be as insular as some might think. The aesthetic I’m aiming for in my stories is an engaging story that “just happens” to have size content.

Accordingly, I want to know how much size content normies will entertain before it gets too silly and they stop engaging with it. For example, if I come up with a mixed-size society and describe certain accommodations that are made for People of Unusual Size, my goal is to make the normie reader say, “That’s clever, that’s probably how it would have to work” rather than just laughing at the sight gag.

Once they buy into the premise, then the size smut should sell itself.
