what if instead of “the author’s barely disguised fetish” it was blatantly obvious but done in the most mundane way possible, like you got a 100-foot tall woman in the story but the focus is a complex legal battle about her struggle to get planning permission for a house her size and not much else
get the findom guy in the writer’s room but just before the main character can send hundreds of dollars to a hot babe he realises he needs the money for groceries, so then the show just follows him doing that and taking 10 minutes to decide if spending a lil extra for the organic peppers is worth it Bluesky.
That raises an interesting ethical concern. Should a 100’ tall woman have equal access to housing assistance? You could house hundreds of normal sized people for the same resources it would take to house her, but is she not deserving of the same benefits other people receive? Is it greatest good over equality?
Clifford the big red dog has a house that’s larger than his owners’. He’s gotta eat at least truck’s worth of food every day, right? I bet they need to rent out heavy machinery to have his dumps removed, too. Not to mention how many property damage lawsuits he regularly causes by wagging his tail or rolling around at the park.
This has nothing to do with equality or whatever, I just want to know what Emily Elizabeth’s parents do for a living to be able to afford such a financial black hole of a dog.
Perhaps taking care of Clifford is what they do. The government just pays them to do it, and helps cover the costs, because the alternative is having Clifford rampaging around the city completely uncontrolled. They’re functionally zookeepers for kaiju.

You can tell that Clifford is fiction because the police haven’t shot him.
On the one hand ACAB, on the other hand if a dog this big was dragging a cop around by the wrist like this I don’t know that I could really blame him for it
Well… Someone did tell him to “fetch” the police!
Selling Clifford’s droppings as fertilizer, or to research labs
This is why the zootopia economy baffles me…
Yeah, how can there be effective arbitrage of popsicles for elephants to popsicles for lemmings? Shouldn’t everything be priced by weight, so that the big animals must have much more costly needs?
She’s an abomination and needs to be put down
Thousands even. Presume she’s 6ft naturally cause that gives us a normal sized house… Presume a living space 35 ft by 35ft. now scale that 50 times… And now make it vertical too… Presuming the house is roughly twice her height, which is probably understating, and no basement, we are looking at a 12 million ft³ volume
I reckon that’s where her equalised value comes in. Are the costs on sorting out such a big domicile larger than most for tax payers? Certainly. And let’s not forget assistance with food, hygeine, medical, etc.
But the things a 100ft woman can do for their community and larger society are endless. In return for the effort put in for her, she is able to contribute largely in ways no other can.
I would not want to be her aged care worker down the track, though.
She’s going to struggle to stand if I learned anything in biomechanics
Is this still a description of a sexual fetish?
Probably be on her to build it at that point.
