Topic: How do you classify what is and is not hyper?

Posted under General

It seems what classifies as hyper varies from person to person.
For example for me its mostly about scale.
A macro character with large genitals isn't hyper, while a normal sized person with absurdly large genitals is hyper.

So how do you personally classify what is and is not hyper?

(This isn't a tag discussion its a personal one so it shouldn't be in the tag section)

I go strictly by the wiki definition, which is basically 'accounting for stylization, are these proportions realistically -possible-? No? Then it's hyper.'

There's a certain amount of wiggle room, in that a very short character can have some proportions that you would expect on a taller character. AFAICS as you say, macro/micro doesn't enter into things, hyper is about relative proportions rather than absolute proportions.

It's all about proportion and it depends on the body part/etc. What you need to ask yourself is this:

  • Is it likely to happen in nature or even with augmentation, ever?
  • Even if this isn't likely to happen naturally, is it even physically plausible?
  • Would this be impractical? Can their back even support this much weight? Can a colon even hold that much feces?
  • If you saw this on someone in real life, would you encourage them to go to hospital?

I usually go by the proportions of the character in question. I tend to follow these guidelines:

If a characters penis go to or above its breasts = hyper.
If a characters penis go just below its breasts = big.

If a characters Breasts are 3 times bigger then their head = hyper.
If a characters breasts are 2 times bigger = big.

If a characters balls are bigger that its head = hyper
If a characters balls looks likes they can be used as jawbreakers = big

If a characters head looks small when compared to its muscles = hyper.
if a character head is roughly bigger than his arm muscles = big.

Of cause this doesn't fit every time. But it kinda fits for the most part (in my experience)

I like your shorthand, however, for breasts I usually read as big as the head = big_breasts and 2 times bigger as huge_breasts.

I'm going to save this for future use (possibly for the wiki if you don't mind?)

Looking at the tags again. I Think that 1.5-2x head size = big and 2-3x head size = Hyper. Fits better

I don't see why we even need a huge_(Anything) tag. there is not much difference between the word big and huge especially for something as opinionated as size.

Go right ahead :)

Didn't we have a very similar discussion to this just a few weeks ago?
Also, Huskys example is pretty good.

If anything comes of this discussion, please remember to update the relevant wiki pages accordingly.

Also, to people saying that huge isn't needed, I have huge_breasts blacklisted. I have difficulty seeing anything but lower back pain when I see characters with breasts larger than their head, and the bigger they are the stronger the association gets. Big is fine, huge is not. I can't capture my preference here just by blacklisting hyper_breasts because hyper only covers breasts that are too large to believe. The problem is that I used to know someone with macromastia and it did nothing good for her life. So there's this band of breast sizes that are physically possible, but which look like a medical condition rather than sexiness to me.

When I have some free time, I plan to try setting up the big_penis, big_balls, etc. wikis similar to how breasts is laid out. I don't know when I'll get to it, but I'm definitely bookmarking this page for later.

Completely agreed. I can't imagine getting around like that...

Funny enough though the hyper doesn't do that for me. My brain seems to treat them as if they were made of marshmallows for some reason.

The way you set up the breasts page looks pretty good, but two of your three big_breasts example images were tagged huge_breasts. One of these appeared to be a tagging error on the image, and I took huge_breasts off of it. The other one appeared to be correctly tagged, so I swapped it out for another image.

Thank you for your work on the wiki, by the way. I'd do more on the wiki myself, but wiki edits always feel more impactful than tag edits, since changing the wiki changes the way other people tag. I'm more afraid to screw up a wiki edit than I am to mess up an image's tags.
