Macrophilia generally features two types of giants: gentle and aggressive. The gentle giant is far less common and typically has him or her interacting with humans in a kindly, almost maternal/paternal manner. The far more common type of giant is of the aggressive or violent variety. This kind of giant enjoys tormenting humans and is often shown eating them alive or stepping on them.

Oftentimes macrophiles will find satisfaction in mainstream media portrayals of giants, whether or not that material was intentionally meant to appeal to them or not. Some notable examples include ] and ] where the female protagonists of each film grow to incredible size, the ending of ] which has five attractive female aliens that merge into a giantess that swallows one of the male characters before going on a rampage, and the music video for ] by the band ] that has the band playing the song on and around a 60&nbsp;ft tall ] who at the end of the video chases down the band members and eats them alive.


==Community==
One way in which it is possible to experience the fetish in real life is with extraordinarily tall women who refer to themselves as ]—after the mythological Greek warriors. An amazon, such as the 6&nbsp;ft 4in Mikayla Miles who stands just under 7&nbsp;ft in her fetish boots, will schedule private sessions with macrophiles to engage in non-sexual interaction such as: trampling, lifting and carrying, foot worshiping, ] and domination.<ref name="O'Neill-PalmBeach"/> An annual rally known as the Amazon Convention (or AmazonCon for short) gathers a selection of tall women to network with other amazons and to meet and greet their admirers.<ref name="O'Neill-MiamiNT"/>

Sexual interest in giants
Poster of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, depicting a giantess attacking comparatively tiny people.

Macrophilia is a fascination with or a sexual fantasy involving giants, most commonly expressed as giant humans, as well as giant objects. In 2023, the Giantess kink was found to be the most popular kink searched for on the website Clips4Sale. Generally, depictions range from sexually explicit actions to non-sexual interactions while still providing sexual stimulation for those with the fantasy.

Online communities refer to this subculture as macro fetish or GTS fetish, an abbreviation of "giantess".

Description

Further information: Sexual fetishism

Although macrophilia literally translates to simply a "lover of large", in the context of a sexual fantasy, it is used to denote attraction to beings larger than themselves. Males who are attracted to larger females are known as Amazon chasers. Generally, the interest differs between macrophiles, and depends on gender and sexual orientation. Macrophiles often enjoy the feel of being physically smaller, ranging from sadomasochistic fantasies such as being abused, degraded, dominated, or eaten, to friendly fantasies such as being rescued, protected and befriended by the larger, typically heroic female, and they often view the much taller being as powerful and dominating.

Psychologist Mark Griffiths speculates that the roots of macrophilia may lie in sexual arousal in childhood and early adolescence that is accidentally associated with giants.

Speculating on why there are not as many female macrophiles, psychologist Helen Friedman theorized that women who already view men as dominant and powerful have no need to fantasize about it. Still there exists a presence of women who can enjoy both aspects of macrophilia. Women who take on the roles of the giantess within this fetish often find the practice to be empowering and enjoy being worshipped.

One article in Men's Health argues that because the pressures faced by men tend to be greater, “becoming unimportant or unnoticed in the presence of an unconquerable creature could be a brief respite”.

Community

Internet

The internet has played an important role in helping to develop the fetish. The pornography site Pornhub's 2015 annual report showed that compared to 2014, the biggest increase in search topic was giantess, which had a 1091 percent gain in searches. There also existed an exhibit at the Museum of Sex titled "Kink: Geography of the Erotic Imagination" which explored many different fantasies, including macrophilia.

Online content creators have also developed homemade media that has helped grow the fetish's reach. In addition to generating content across websites, some content creators have even branded themselves in ways that helped them generate a following and gain revenue for their work. After data was gathered from 4,814,732 videos on clips4sale, an established porn site, it was found that "giantess" was the 34th most popular category.

The macro community has produced fiction writing, digital art, and collages on websites such as DeviantArt and Pixiv. Dedicated macrophilia websites include Giantess World, the Giantess City forums, and the male-centered CoiledFist and GTF productions, Karbo, Eskoz, and AshkiiWolf are among the more popular artists.

Video games

Macrophilia video games have also been developed; Sizebox is a sandbox game in which players import models and create scenes. Resize Me! is an anime VR game in development; the player is gradually shrunken by their childhood friend and toyed with.

The popularity of Resident Evil Village's antagonist Lady Dimitrescu has been attributed to her giant size.

Real-world experience

One way macrophiles enjoy their fetish physically is by scheduling private sessions with extraordinarily tall women to engage in non-sexual interactions; trampling, lifting and carrying, foot worshiping, roleplaying and domination.

SizeCon is an annual event for people who enjoy size changing to gather in person. Since 2016 it has provided a place for fans to showcase art, socials to discuss various aspects of the fetish, and roleplay opportunities.
