I like macros in almost every sense except the killing and destruction of micros and their homes.

Accidental destruction is fine with me, as well as being playful. But intended killing and destruction makes me think otherwise.

I, myself, like being gentle, silly, and clumsy, but not intended destruction or killing. This is just my likes and opinions though.

A nice response indeed! Their are plenty of gentle macros out there. I know a few, though the majority I do know are the ones who're more into the more violent side I suppose. Thanks for the input!

None would like to see this truly done in real life.. Really? I don't agree with that at all. I find myself cursing at bothersome people and wishing I could just step on them at least once a day. There is a sense of power, influence and comfort to it all.

I'm not the type of person that wishes pain on others (unless they enjoy it). However if given the opportunity, I would in an instant. To pass that sort of thing up would be quite a loss in my opinion.

Okay, okay.. I understand. A looming dragoness conquering the planet under her scaled heel isn't exactly everyone's favorite bedtime story. But there is something to be said about having that kind of power. But there' are varying interesting situations one can be put into with differing sizes. A giantess that assists her village.. or one that rules a kingdom with pride.

But really.. scale, is beautiful. You have so many magnificent features on' the body and when they are larger, they become more intense. Each individual part of the form becomes emphasized and even more beautiful. What was once a toe with little significance can become a tower that decides life and death. I suppose it is the aspect of change and variety that delights me so much.

To see the world in a different way - To be able to choose how things play out and be less of a mouse chasing after cheese.

Plus, it's just sexy. You know it. *Laughs.*

Okay, so may some would like to in real life, hehe. I'll admit, sometimes there's just those days, coincidentally like Mondays, stuck in traffic, wishing I could just go to work while stepping and crushing all the idiotic drivers in front of me...lol. I also agree with your sense of power and awe that macrso bring upon themselves. Myself, either fighting against another world in macro form, or just taking out stress on some tinies that tend to tick you off sometime, either way to each their own.

Lol. And yes, beauty and sexiness to the features on the macros who grow to their full size... then there are just "decisions decisions".

When you are a larger size, you feel like you are God/Goddess.

I mostly love the size aspect to it, so I won't really see anything as being "too big." Violence I don't mind, though I do tend to be more gentle and passive. I do have my days though where i would gladly throw a rampage...particularly at my workplace <.<
But yeah, I honestly don't draw any lines. The bigger the better in my book, so have fun with it!

There's something thrilling about being the outlier. Whether that's being super-small or super-big, it's kinda neat to be part of that unusual group of individuals. Then there's the power: the power that comes not from lightning bolts and fireballs but, rather, your own, inherent, physical nature. Just being big -incredibly big- is something anyone can envision and fantasize about; we can guess how it would feel were it possible. The same goes for being shrunk: you can indulge the lack of power and submissiveness that -to one degree or another- is present within all of us.

Violence and damage? Only in a few cases for me. Usually those cases are sexual and one-on-one such as BD/SM scenarios.

For me, its the act of size-change that's more important -far more important- than the final result.

When contemplating too big or too small I think that the "too" part comes in when I can no longer visualize myself in relation to the non-macro/non-micro world.

How's that?

Before I delved into the whole macro thing, I was into Giantesses. While my fetish made me feel apart from a crowd, it did help me learn about myself and what I expect from persuing my passion. And that passion is to be in the care of a macrofurry.

I feel that Macrofurries (mainly female, of course) are much more lovable than regular giantess because they are not usually bound human priorities or reservations. For example, if a woman turned 50-feet she would expect everyone to bow to her. You know? Her new size is nothing more than an aquired egotistical advantage.

An anthropomorphic giantess, on the other hand, shouldn't have such strife. They just wanna be taken care of and love back when given the chance. There's no hostility, no threat, no association with human feminism, and the cost of keeping her would be at least tolerable, albeit staggering.

So in a simplier statement, I'd like of a macrofur as having a really big pet. Don't you?

Power and dominance. Destruction can be fine, but it's really just a sort of side-effect of a display of power and a very dominant, even arrogant attitude. I really love the whole "god complex" thing that happens.

I like to think of myself as playfull and curious as a macro. Like to take buildings apart and see who's in them or see if i can scare them out so i can use the building for other purposes. I am not a mean giant. I just like to have fun and the big city is a perfect place to have it.

I have to agree with many of the above posts. What makes a macro appealing to myself is the grand scale of it all.

For one, it's having such power and strength that is very tempting. However, the true strength for me is having all that power, but not using it in an abusive manner. Through an RP, one of my friends told me: "You're a gentle giant that wouldn't hurt a fly, buy who has the power to conquer the world." Personally, I could see people wanting to take over the world. But to me, that's just abusing the power. In a case like that, yes, I wouldn't want it to be real. For those that could but don't, it's knowing you have that potential that is quite appealing, and honestly, a bit arousing.

There's also the aspect of how you can treat other people and things. There are those furries that would stomp around on rampages carelessly, only feeding their own desires and wants. Now I don't mind a little destruction now and then. But the loss of life is not appealing to me. Why? Buildings and such can be replaced. People can't. The things I would do as a macro are quite different. I might wreck a building or two occasionally. But what I'd mainly love to do is to cuddle and hug those who would want it. I believe nothing good comes from being overly-dominant and trying to rule for yourself. But gentle giants are the most lovely. They are sweet, affectionate, and give you an entire body to play on. Whether that body be covered in fur, scales, feathers or something else, it's quite nice to be on.

Lastly, there's the appearance. Macros tend to be more well formed and more gorgeous looking. Anyone here most likely knows about  DNAPalmHead. His art best exemplifies the appearance macros have: a perfectly chiseled body, packed with muscles and just overall Adonis-like body. For the people in this group, that's what we generally strive for: to be Godly in appearance. Maybe some don't want that much of a body, but either way it's near impossible to NOT look Godly when you're big, be you just bigger standard, or filled and packed with all new types of muscles and strength. Every minor detail on macros is well defined and shown off so easily. It's like taking a magnifying glass: all the details become more evident and out there.

All these aspects combined are what makes macros so lovely and such a big (pun X3) deal. Would I love to see this happen in real life? In a heartbeat. I'd love to be a Godly huge and sculpted lion. I'd help out society in all the ways the normal sized life forms can't. I'd find the friends I've made on here, and cuddle them closely into my fur and muscles, making them feel warm and invited. I'd protect the weak, and help the helpless however I could. And in general, be the living definition of "gentle giant". Because that's what I am at heart.

It could be described as the darker side of ones personality, the chaos side.
At least, that's what I'm thinking.

I'm pretty much about the dark side, the pure dominance of the thing. Something so large and so powerful that not only can it easily kill you, but takes some bizarre sexual pleasure out of it -- and finds sexy ways to do just that.

It's about pure power, and demonstrating it in such a way that makes everyone under him/her into, essentially, insects. And just as disposable as well.

Over all, though, I rather vary depending on mood and characters. Some macrofurs appeal to me based more on their personality than because of domination or death.

The main thing that is the most attractive I feel for us macros is being purely gentle and playful! =^___^= But even better than that is when a macro and a micro have tender moments... *purrs and wags big tail happily* x) That's the best evar!!!

Its Simple we want power when parts of our lives we often feel very powerless. Macro is also very primal in nature often rooted in aspects of ourselves we repress or know cannot be realized. l also connected somehow to the earth when larger being able to be an effect on the very environment a smaller is living in. But there's the beauty in things large. Why do we marvel at larger things like red woods or big buildings and landforms. There is the appeal of strength and control but you also have to look for the perspective of a small person. We want to belong or feel humbled part of something greater often. We tend to think a larger quantity is better so why not love something that is many times larger? The gentle or rough sides think they are very different but they have roots int he same places. Some people just like the fun, or the art, or the fact macros get much attention. And by being big or whatnot they can feel wanted or popular. The reasons differ slightly but have many common threads.

Personally My reasons are all mentioned above in this post and a few other posts. And I accept as a macrophile, I definitely got my wires crossed somewhere

I'm going to guess this journal has something to do with my note I sent you? :P

Well to answer your question, im still a bit new to this whole macro fandom thing. I'm still not exactly sure what to expect. But yes I do have my limits. I tend to get WAYYYY too deep into the macro scene and I become horrified. Want to know why? Because in a city do you know what there is besides men and women? Children. And infants. It horrifies me to see all of those innocent lives ended by a large beast just so it can be amused... I become scared of other macros. I become scared of myself. I'm scared of who I am. Just don't think about it? I try to... But my imagination tends to get mixed up with my common sense more often than I want it to. And what results is... This.

But then my other half comes in. I love to see all of the destruction... I love seeing all of those puny furs get annihilated if they dare get in my way. The sense of sheer power over the weak is almost intoxicating. But it makes me look evil... And maybe I am? Maybe I'm just sick in the head. I don't know why I like seeing these kinds of things. I don't know what on earth could be inside me that makes me think this way. Frankly I still am unsure of who I am. Am I a simple person who is just into those kinds of things? Or am I a monster? Those questions are unclear to me, and the more I think about it... The more it confuses me.

In a nutshell I'm just wondering what is wrong with me. I understand how the whole "Being a god" thing can appeal to people, I myself have always wondered and dreamt what it would feel like to have the world cater to your every whim or else they would be severly punished in unspeakable ways. But what I want to know is: Why? Why are giants so facinating to me? What makes me attracted to them? What makes me attracted to that sense of invincibility? What makes me think the way I do? I realize that none of you could possibly know the answer to these questions for me and I realize that I must find my own. But... It makes me wonder... How did this come to be? How did I come to be like this? Questions with no real answers... So peculiar...

Giants are just that...mysterious....in fact the japanese word for it would be "daikaiju", meaning giant mysterious beast. ;)

...that doesn't exactly answer my question. But okay. I guess it's just gonna be a mystery to me forever huh?

I think the general point is that, in one way or another, all macros just want to feel or be powerful. That need might stem from the same source - psychologically - or not, I can not be that sure. But for myself being a macro and becoming a macro is would just be a pleasureably experience in and of itself. Growth alone would be wonderful...

If I destroy the universe in the process. So? It simple become to small for me. When you are critter like that the scale of things is so much different that judging things from the point of view of such tiny things as what we are now would be like a ant contemplating the univserse if not worse.

i personally don't dig the whole destruction thing, i perfer to be seen more like Gamera rather Gojira. i don't want to kill my play things :3 though i might 'pick on' someone and accidently damage things.

Rampant destruction can be fun yea but meh, i always liked the way how a giant monster would attack a city and the people would be powerless to stop it and needing to using Gojira to stop the other in hopes of them both destroying each other. so the idea of a heroic version of that would be much nicer, maybe some extremely over dramatic music when the normal sized people call me <3 *see below for full vision*.

Reading a few above it is normally a power thing, but power and using it for something good is much nicer in my mind. so technically i am an anti destruction Macro =:3

* The citizenry of the city under attack would use a giant ground thumper, making the sound of a frightened rabbit, awakening the giant rabbit to arise from mountain warren like a giant Oni, and like a very cheesy camp daikaijū movie, loud music pounding out a theme song as the people cheer! \o/ Then I quickly descend upon the aggressor to deal swift justice! delivering a final fatal kick to the sight of the setting sun after a theme music power up. (yes i am nerdy about it :3)

I think, for me, I like macro because of the innate dominance it grants. As a child, I was bullied a lot, and I always wanted to get back at the kids that picked on me. Being a macro, I would easily be able to squash them flat...

Also, I really like the idea of city crushing. People gotta learn to stop procreating, after a while X3

But no, me wanting to be a giant is pretty much embedded into my psyche...
