Description

Macro describes characters who are giant compared to the world around them. To be tagged as `macro`, the character should be clearly "abnormally very large" — scenery and/or props should suggest their abnormal size, simply interacting with smaller characters does not make a character "macro".

Tagging Notes

Macro is derived from "macrophilia" (the paraphilia for giants and giantesses), however, this tag doesn't indicate any sexual or fetishistic intent, merely the size of the character, and so a macro image can be rated [color=green]Safe[/color]
Monsters or mythological beasts that are naturally very large should usually not fall under this tag — e.g. feral dragons that are larger than human or anthro characters shouldn't be tagged as `macro` unless they are extremely large even for the typical depiction of feral dragons

[color=yellow]IMPORTANT NOTE: MACRO AND MICRO SHOULD ALMOST NEVER BE TAGGED TOGETHER ON THE SAME POST:[/color]

A macro sized character interacting with a normal sized character does not make the smaller character micro
A normal sized character interacting with a micro sized character shouldn't be tagged as macro
When a macro character is shown with or interacting with normal sized characters, the post should be tagged as extreme size difference
- if there are no visible smaller characters, then the post should only be tagged as `macro`
If there is no background, scenery, or objects to suggest what size the characters are relative to the environment, then do not tag macro.

Tags Used In Macro

Tags related to, or frequently used in macro content. Note that not all of the following tags are inherently tied to macro art, nor necessarily inherent to micro or extreme size difference.

All Tags

Section

Scales/Subcategories

These tags apply to different scales of macro character, with "macro" acting as an umbrella tag

Giga Macro

A character that is larger than the "average" macro, these characters are often depicted as larger than entire cities, they may use geographic features in unusual ways, or dwarf entire landscapes

- landscape dwarfing - a giga macro character large enough that entire cities and natural features (e.g. mountains) are dwarfed by their size, the character is often drawn in a way that emphasizes the size, sometimes so distant and so large that they are tinted blue to show atmosphere between the giga sized character and the viewer's perspective

Terra Macro

A character that is equal to, or larger than the size of planets, or other celestial bodies

- planet dwarfing - a terra macro character that is overwhelmingly larger in size than a planet, which may be the size of a gumball or even as small as a bead or grain of rice in comparison to the terra sized character, their body often taking up most of the frame
- intergalactic macro - a terra macro character that is equal to, or larger than galaxies — or the entire universe/multiverse — and is shown interacting with them

Section

Miscellaneous

body size growth - a character growing in size, a comic, sequence, or animation may feature a normal sized character growing to a macro scale
low angle view
- worm's-eye view
macro on macro - sexual interactions between two giant sized characters

Section

Interaction with Smaller Characters

If normal sized characters are visible in a scene with the macro sized character, the post should be tagged as extreme size difference:

Multilevel Macro

This describes two characters who are both macro sized but have considerable amounts of size difference between them, potentially including giga or terra sized characters within the same scene or comic

General Interactions

holding character
holding viewer
sitting on another - this should apply if butt crush or butt smother do not seem appropriate
trapped in clothing - a character trapped within an article of clothing worn by another character, more common in micro content, but macro examples exist
mass crush - a group or crowd of characters being crushed all at once, usually involves a massive character stepping on a crowd
size play - interaction between a larger character and smaller character where the size difference is a focal point of the scene

Sexual Interactions

living insertion - a character inserting a smaller character, entirely or partially, into an orifice for sexual pleasure
bodyjob - a character using their whole body to stimulate the penis of a larger character

Section

Interaction With Objects, Buildings and Scenery

How a macro sized character is physically interacting with things around them:

General Interactions

Buildings

Planets

Vehicles
- holding vehicle
- sitting on vehicle

Sexual Interactions

building sex - this tag describes any sexual interaction with a building including, but not limited to, penetration and insertion
cum on building
cum on planet
pussy juice on building
pussy juice on planet
Insertion into an orifice (e.g. anus or vagina)
Character penetrating the subject

Destruction

Other

Section

Eating Smaller Characters and Objects

Vore is a common concept in macro content — many tags specifically apply to vore scenes involving extreme size differences, including macro sized characters:

mass vore - a large group or crowd being consumed by a single character, a common theme in macro vore
- multiple prey - more than one character visibly being consumed by a single character
larger pred / smaller prey
macro pred - a larger pred that is specifically macro sized, note: a macro pred can also be involved in same size vore

planet vore - an entire planet being consumed, almost inherently involves a terra macro sized character
- planet in mouth
- planet in stomach
object ingestion - eating (including chewing up or swallowing whole) inanimate objects
- vehicle ingestion - orally consuming a vehicle
