@Olo Now since I think about it, I agree with what you said, that your not waiting for size to be mainstream. I guess it would be a bad thing since you also said it would be exploited by capitalism. I thought this may be an interesting topic to dwelve in because I feel as if the size community has become so much over the past years. I also wanted to try and predict where this community is headed. You are right about how there is no single size community.
@Olo Oh shoot, I didn’t know that
I wanted to make this post not just because it makes my blood boil when people say M/f G/t is misogynistic. But also to bring anybody who feels ashamed of their fetish acceptance of their self. I am honestly guilty of feeling ashamed in the past of being a woman with macrophilia because I thought it was wrong. And I thought it was wrong because it was related to misogyny.
Let me tell you why your fetishes are not wrong
First of all, for all the giantess fans who think women should only be the dominant ones because they are powerless in real life. Women are not powerless in real life because they can perform the same cognitive functions as men and have amazing physical advantages just like men. Yes they may be oppressed but it doesn’t make them any less powerful. It also worsens the oppression and is actually misogynistic by telling them they are not allowed be submissive and only men are allowed to do that.
Second of all, it is not feminist to like dominant women. No there is nothing wrong with liking dominant women. But if you want to be a true feminist then talk to real women and research civil rights issues, then spread awareness about it to help. Looking at content of dominant women will not teach people to fight for equality and so it is not feminist. It is also not empowering to women because as I said, not all women like to be dominant. Empowerment comes in many different forms other than overpowering something. To be honest, you shouldn’t chose for someone what is empowering to them or not. Especially if you are a man and you say something is empowering to women.
Third of all, M/f is not abusive to women because there is lots of content of giantesses getting bloody with tiny people. And so you are a hypocrite for saying it is a giant men can’t have their fun and make their blood art too. Remember people, you can’t hit a girl. Unless she attacks you or you are a giant man and she is your tiny pet, then go for it ;).
And so, M/f is not misogynistic but people who say it is misogynistic are the real misogynists
I hoped this helped. I didn’t want to turn this into another rant because I was worried it may worsen the browsing experience. I am aware there is a kink resources page but I wanted to post this to help people feel further validated and to give back for people helping me feel validated here.
Thank you for reading this.
@SallyFourth Would you be willing to give me a small excerpt of this story.
@AnnDViant Tbh I kind of was mainly talking about Sfw size becoming mainstream.
I was looking at Sfw g/t one time on DA and thought it has potential appeal to a large audience mainly those involved in fandom. About the fetish aspect of size, I don’t think it will get super popular. The size community has become more than just a fetish community, so I wonder if people may someday see that. Then again, DA has some niche stuff in general.
But I understand it may not turning out as popular as furries because it takes more imagination to play out.
Size scenarios have a lot of potential though because they create great angst and suspension, also they give characters unique bonds imao.
So who knows if size may attract more than just kinky people or more kinky people as macrophilia becomes more than just gigantic women.
@i-am-insane Ok, I know it’s not easy to dress up a sizey person. But people in this community use sizes as identities, for instance a person identifying as a giant. So these size identities may not entirely be like dressing up in a fur suite, but they still are ways people express themselves in the community. Maybe if people did want to dress up, the smaller people could wear fairy wings or have a huge pin as a prop. Or the people on the larger end of the spectrum could make rings that resemble broken buckets or make a fake dragon to attach to their shoulders. But those are just my ideas and I see where you are going at with this.
Also for the oppression part you said, I understand that g/t ties in with domination. But the domination aspect is primarily on the the fetish side of the community. I don’t think Gt/sw ties in with social issues and I think it’s more of an escapism, at least for me. But maybe size could get more popular if people realize gt/sw is not “abusive”.
(I hope I didn’t make the title too long)
A lot of the size community consists of fetish, but I noticed that there is a good proportion of Sfw size content. This has made me think, can size be the next furries? Can it be a popular internet subculture someday where people express themselves in? Other than size con being inspired by Jitensha’s visit to a furry convention, I think furries and size have a lot more in common. Furries are a way people express themselves and are also fetishized. Size is a way people express themselves, by having sizes they identify with and is fetishized. I largely believe size content has a looooooot of potential and that it can someday become mainstream and a popular internet subculture. There are a lot of people who have done great world building with there size. Just-a-tiny-bun (I hope I got their right) has giants that are known for eating people and giants that are friendly. Friendlyfoxpal, also on deviant art has done great world building too with establishing her oc’s species and their backstories. I really hope the size community becomes an internet sensation like furries. If it does become popular internet, and get’s more diversity, and people recognize it as more than just the “giantess” fetish, it would be one hell of a time to be alive. Yeah, some people may call it cringe like they do with furries, but it still would be a glorious site to see.
@Olo Aw yes, one of my favorite vore tropes. Teasing someone by threatening to eat them.
@Sir-Raptor I am honestly not picky about my size as long as it’s obviously smaller than my normal height(5’4”) and I’m the smallest person in the room. But I usually prefer not to be shrunken into microscopic territory, mites can be pretty scary up close.
@Giant-Gripper Thank you, I feel less envious of them now. Even though they have far more content than we do. We tend to have less toxicity then they have, we also have a great sense of community. As they say, quality over quantity.
Also to try and make people and myself feel better about the M/f community have a lot less content than the F/m, here some positives about being in a small community :),
A thing I like about being in the M/f community, it could just be me, but I feel as if there is more of a focus on people’s individuality in their art style. Because there is less content, your art tends to get drowned out less by other artists and there is less competition. As a person who likes to make art and has done so on this site before, I can confirm there is more emphasis on the uniqness of others artstyle. For instance @Dirtybun is a very talented artist, if I am not mistaken they go by x2dirtybun on DA (also happy birthday if you are reading this). Out of all the gts content I have seen, I don’t think I will ever find a person like her in the F/m community. She has such well designed ocs and her shading is such a unique style. There is also @littlest-lily who is great on both her writing and drawing. I have not read all her works(I’m a slow reader), but I have read some of raindrops on the windowsill and there is a great emphasis on emotion. I feel as if her works aren’t just unique in the size community but in writing as a whole to me.
Another thing that is great is that there is no competition, if there is it’s very minuscule. The art world does tend to get competitive. And so there does tend to get quite a bit of tension in it. But since this community has no competition, it has a relaxed feel.
Those were just some positives from my experience. I hope this made anyone feel better. As Jitensha said, “fight for love because you deserve it”.
(Disclaimer: just to be safe, I am not trying to say the M/f community is better than the F/m community in anyway. Also if you are wondering if I have a DA, I am sorry to say that I only use it as a guest)
@tiny-ivy said in Something to get off my chest:
Is it really feminist to worship giant women as oversized and dommy sex objects? Some male F/m fans still fail to see women as human beings first, sexual objects second.
These F/m fans don’t seem know what feminism actually is. Feminism is about respecting women and letting them be themselves, not forcing them into a domineering position. Which is why it pisses me off when people label M/f as misogynistic. If you don’t struggle with misogyny or have grasped an understanding of what it is, then you have no right to label what is misogynistic or not.
@SmolChlo would be nice to have a Nintendo my size, though don’t mind playing with one much larger than me.
@i-am-insane I think have something similar to yours. I am asexual and I am very sex repulsed, but I don’t mind looking at gigantic men having sex with tiny women. The only exception I have with M/f orgasms is anal vore. I don’t shame people who like it but it is a big turn off for me and I will avoid it.
Other than that, if sexual scenes are not size related, I will immediately turn away.
@Nyx Don’t let those toxic people get you. Stay strong
@littlest-lily Those do help a lot. I really like the SFW g/t community especially since I am ace, I really like looking at friendlyfoxpal’s work on deviantart. There can at times be some niches that I have that not in SFW, but I found it helps a lot. I do like to draw my own stuff too, it can be a bit labor intensive, but have enjoyed sharing pictures on this site.
It can be really difficult being part of a niche within a niche. But this community shown me there are something’s to look up to when being part of a very small community. For me, it seems as if there is less toxicity because there are less people and so less discourse.
Thank you for sharing some tips that can help me cope.
