@ShifterSilver I am a bit apprehensive about having size fantasies about celebrities because I don’t know if they consent. But I would want to belong to a giant alternative Japanese band member.

I think Daddy’s Dollhouse can fly under the radar for that one.

You do have a lot good points. I believe your assumption will be true. That answers what I have been worried about.

@The-Big-G Obviously underage people should not be on a site with nsfw content.
However, having to show your ID to prove your 18 seems like too much for a lot of people because it’s a big privacy violation.
Showing my ID on the internet makes me feel very uncomfortable.

I heard that the uk passed the online safety act which will have porn sites have users give id.

I also heard that the size website outsized was worried about age verification due to some states passing laws for age verification.

I am worried about how this website will go about age verification. This age verification thing is clearly about control and possibly censorship. This website hosts a lot of taboo things and I am worried for the future of it.

What does everybody think?

@Olo now they know how I feel

@i-am-insane My theory is why mini giants are less common is because mini giants usually are big enough and small enough make the smaller person look like a child. And that may make people afraid they may associate with the wrong people. I know that, and size kinks are extremely different things. But despite that, people don’t want to risk being associated with the unspeakable.

This is not fact, it’s all just my opinion.

That graffiti is the cherry on top

@tiny-ivy Oh my gosh, I love that story. I really like their other stories too.

I really want to make a lot of size media catered to my own tastes because I have some trouble finding size media that does that, I can’t afford commissions, and I am anti AI due to it using artists work without consent. I also want to make size art because I can not actually get shrunk to a super small size or be with a gigantic person in real life T-T, so art is is how I get to have those experiences.

The problem is, drawing is very energy taxing for me. Especially because I am a perfectionist and my instincts tell me to fix every imperfection.

I got into animating and I simplify the drawings in the frames and draw the keys first. But it still feels quite energy taxing, as if I am running a marathon but not actually running.

My fellow artists, how did you fall in love with the process of drawing?

@miss-lillipants That’s interesting. I wonder how amazons became to also be associated with tall and muscular women. Maybe because being a warrior is associated with being tall and muscular?

I have seen a size chart somebody posted on the internet to ask people how they like the size of their characters and amazons were on the larger side of the chart next to human size. I looked at pictures of amazons from greek mythology from historical images I found on the internet. All of them portrayed amazons as being the same size as humans. Wonder woman is an amazon and she is human sized.

Why is it common for people in this community to portray amazons as larger than humans?

@protect-tinies Hey now that’s an idea. I will try that that next time.

@tiny-ivy I am so jealous of the spot in the final picture with all the daisies and clovers you found. Your so lucky

If you are wondering how I got on, I used tape to climb on. Be careful with tape, your whole body can get stuck to it.

This red mushroom is very beautiful, but the white specks were a bit uncomfortable

I rested on one of these, I like how they are flat on the top, perfect to lay on.

This mushroom’s uneven surface hurt my back and it was difficult to climb on.

Let me know if you have any recommendations of mushrooms great for laying on. I could always use a good sunbathe on a mushroom.

@DFP said in I wish there was a term for exclusively male giants:

The problem isn’t that women are special. It’s more that women are the exception. So, we come up with words like “giant” to designate large people, but then we start to show female giants, and we need a way to designate them, so we create the term “giantess”. The problem isn’t the language. It’s the way people use it. Because people are too lazy to type 4 extra letters “giant” gets used for big folks regardless of gender. Then we begin to label people that do correctly say “giantess” as sexist and insult them for speaking properly. It’s somewhat amazing to me because I’d get the same label if I started writing “men” regardless of gender so I could avoid typing 2 more letters. It’s not exceptionalism so much as laziness and political correctness run amok.

I’d suggest that within this community if nowhere else, the word “giant” be used exclusively to refer to males of size and “giantess” be used to refer to females of size. Also, any time someone doesn’t use the correct terms they be politely corrected.

Women being the exception actually better describes how I feel about the term giantess. I guess the term “giantess” upsets me because it reminds me how much our language is rooted in patriarchy, with people thinking the default gender is male.

About using the word “giant” to exclusively refer to males of size. What would people use to describe people of size outside of the traditional gender binary? Xgiant or something like that?
