Re: Goblins
The key factor is: "Do they still have a future?"
Can they go outside and interact with the world? Can they date? Could they get a job? Is it that life is more difficult for them in an interesting way or have they been so affected that the reality of their situation doesn't sink in until the man has lost his erection?
I do like the idea of someone being so small as to be an exploration of the world at a minute scale. Something TEMPORARY. There was an artist who showed two women competing in a chess game where every piece lost reduced them in size. That same artist liked to show women shrinking into their shoes and creating a cavernous and more interesting depiction than I see from Clips Sites that stick a microscopic camera into footwear.
This whole thing doesn't work without stylized representation.
