Mostly we imagine giants as giant humanoids.

If it can be any species then whales are pretty giant.

OP's point is still valid, think of the woodlouse and the giant isopod

My argument wasn’t against insects seeing giants. But that we also do.

I think that commenter's point is that those two creatures have very similar forms but one is giant compared to the other, while us and whales have relatively different forms.

If Gigantopithecus was still around, I feel like they'd meet this sort of qualification, being very similar to humans in form but much greater in size.

but whales are only times bigger than humans, while humans are 1000x or so bigger than insects

Blue whales are 2400x larger than a human on average

reiper_ t1_itvrszq wrote

that is the weight, a blue whale is the length of 15 grown men lying down

Well if you go by length you can't say humans are thousands of times larger than insects.

Even for small insects like ants humans are only like 300-400 times longer.

i used length because if you go by height blue whales are definitely not enough to be considered giants (one blue whale should be what? 5 humans standing up) specially if you compare the height of a human and an insect

JustKillinTime69 t1_itwbukz wrote

Well that would just be cherry picking using the whales smallest dimension vs the humans largest dimension.

Most appropriate comparison is probably volume

yeah but if we talking about giants then I'd say height is what determines it right?
