WTF is it with people and liking the giantess shit? I never got that and I like a couple weird things myself.
From what I've seen, there is a variety of things that guys can get out of it. I think the most common or overarching themes are power dynamics (consider an extreme masochist), coddling/caretaking (you could say a derivative Oedipus complex), or a logical end to "bigger boobs/butts/whatever is better."
I take it as another manifestation of "safe horny." It's socially acceptable to lust over a girl if there's no chance you can overpower her
Giantess is a permutation on BDSM primarily, a power-top to the maximum. It often features men or women used as sexual toys for the giant in question, or in more extreme fetishes, as a food source, but both are in the end the same: all about reducing the secondary party into an object to degrade and use, while cementing that the "top", dominant, party is unassailable and unimpeachable from their position of power over others. To reach that level of fantasy domination outside of the giant(ess) genre usually requires some extreme magic-based slavery element in the worldbuilding, which sometimes isn't to the taste of the reader.
It is a sister fetish to the "tiny" fetish: fairies/imps/pixies/etc, all the things less than a foot tall, which accomplishes the "giant(ess)" element without the larger party needing some kind of in-universe explanation as to how they can surpass the square-cube law.
Oddly enough, though, the "tiny" element is more often Male Dom/Female Sub, while the "giant" element is more often Female Dom/Male Sub, from my limited exposure (so at least for the most commonly posted stuff on 4chan or the like). This might relate to the "safe horny" theory posited by a poster above.
As much as short men turn women off, pixie sized men would make them run for the hills. Women can't even be attracted to them in their fucked up power fantasies. It makes sense to me.
Thanks for the epiphany.
Regardless of one's interest in the bdsm elements, there's often a sort of dehumanization factor to it. Even considering people like in The Borrowers or Gulliver's Travels, there will still be a sort of lesser or greater being in the scenario.
Ah, the tiny part I kind of get, Tinkerbell was always great as a kid. I guess I am not submissive enough to get the giantess stuff, thankfully nor do I plan to ever get it. Thanks for the very in depth explanation.
Some grade A retards are attempting to use media to program men to serving a submissive role.
A lot of them take it in a weird way and get off on getting eaten by giants which is just really fucking weird. Like, I'll settle for the idea of a mountain size tits, but dying is where I kinda have to draw the line.
This posturing villain monologue horseshit is so far beneath the other Homeworld games it doesn't even touch their worst flaws. That's including the Deserts of Kharak prequel released by the same people - Blackbird Interactive and Gearbox Software - in 2016. I'm at a loss as to what happened. Massive personnel turnover? Crippling porn addiction? Randy Pitchford personally taking over lead writing? I don't know.
Seriously this is so fucking bad compared to the cutscenes in 1 and 2. They were beautiful in their simplicity. This looks like a Current Year Disney animation.
What a horrendous cutscene
