People in general are being toxic right now. But we can say that over the last two years something has really changed with Godzilla/monster fandom. Little bit of a bummer

It’s a 50/50 half of them are just chill people, the other half are people who make up boogieman to make sure their favorite kaiju wins

Thank you for continuing the conversation about this. We need to do better as a fandom. Enough is enough.

All fandoms seem to be toxic to an extent, but at least we aren't star wars. Edit after watching the video: I'm definitely among the biggest Kaiju fans out there but I don't really get involved in the community, but damn I had no clue this sort of stuff was happening.

The people in the Godzilla Comunity are alot like the Titans in the Monsters Verse. They can be cool and peacefully exist but when one of them step out of line it becomes a major issue. Thanks GodzillaGuy for bringing balance back!

The main things in the godzilla community that tear it apart -favorite godzillas -powerscaling -downplay -toxicity -shipping -fanfics

Despite the community being connected through some aspects, our community is very divided among many other things such as different versions of Godzilla itself. Half of the people in this community are nice, genuine people who just love Godzilla overall. The other half are other people who like to win arguments and spread toxicity throughout the community. There is an obvious in between of these two sides, but regardless, the age gap, interests, and different versions of Godzilla will continue to divide us. Edit: I’m not saying the arguing side is bad, debates are very good to have in a community. However, there are many young kids or simply people who like to annoy others and spread toxicity and brain rot which is not something that should be added in an argument as it can spark many dangerous aspects of people and debates themselves.

There are many genuinely amazing Godzilla fans. It's just that the fanbase has recently been purged by brainrot children and truly toxic people, which in turn gave the fanbase a bad reputation. Also, don't get me started on the dark side of Godzilla fanart.

Short Answer:Yes Long Answer: 0:01

It’s hard having an opinion in the Godzilla community because if u don’t like a certain version of Godzilla or do ur either biased a glazer or “not a real Godzilla fan”

Certainly, The Godzilla community always debates on which Godzilla is the strongest and sometimes argue with other fandoms

Another problem I see in this community is that a lot of us can’t handle any criticism or opinions. I see a lot of people and contents creators (mainly dangerville) make fun of people who criticize and have their own opinion on something that’s different from theirs. Which is kinda childish.

Ultraman community: ☺️💯🗿 Godzilla community: 👹👺👺👹👺👺👺👹👹👺👺👺👹👺👺👹👺👺👹👺👹👹👺👺👹👺

I saw the title and immediately laughed, like OF COURSE IT IS

As an example, I hate being labeled “toxic” or a “tourist” when I say that the Legendary films are not good (except for 2014 and KSI) all because I’ve lately been judging/critiquing films for their writing and quality to filmmaking. It’s also annoying for getting any backlash when I critique anything Godzilla related, cause I love the character and grew up with it, but nah, just call me a tourist. It’s also worse when there’s people giving death threats to people like Man In the Suit. Like what? Community is toxic as shit, but nowhere near the level of Star Wars stupidity, cause the Star Wars fans DESTROYED Star Wars.

I just found your video through Donny Winter. Appreciate you using your platform to draw awareness to this ongoing issue. I know both he and Kim have worked a long time to make their corner of the fandom inclusive and safe. You should definitely check out Donny's series Growing Up With Godzilla if you haven't yet. It speaks to a lot of this. Plus, it'd be cool to see you guest appear on it!

Just added your video to the playlist I created. Thank you for helping Kaiju Kim and I circulate this!

All communities are toxic but as a Godzilla fan it’s really sad to see that the community as fallen into toxicity

Sadly, any community can be toxic. Just look at the current state of the _Star Wars_ community. IMO, it's how we handle it that matters.

Man, this is messed up . How do people become like this? with the Godzilla community I thought we all talk about Godzilla nothing else but this video showed me I’m gonna be nice to people in the godzilla community even if they’re gay or straight up, transgender, we are should be kind to a person

Yes unfortunately fan's still haven't stop the whole legendary vs toho movie schtick

The main problem is everyone is focused on what kaiju would win in a fight. But usually they’re really biased and just make up things to make their favorite kaiju win. Causing others to get mad and start arguments. We should stop focusing so much on who would win and just start appreciating the kaiju genre as a whole. It’s not bad to wonder who would win in a fight and stuff like that but when you get biased and toxic about it it becomes a problem. Edit: This is why I joined the Gamera fandom, we might be small but at least we’re peaceful.

As someone who’s been in the fandom for well over 10 years atp yeahhh the fandom be having some weird ass people. I’ve met some great people over the years but so many damn weirdos. Obviously it isn’t exclusive to the Godzilla fandom only, but man it’s a problem that needs to be addressed. Hoping for better in the future. This shit is sumn that needs to be called out.

Who here remembers how peaceful the community was back in 2019

Ive seen people say slurs and that’s not even the worst thing they said

I completely agree but I do just wanna say, that wallpaper goes hard as hell 🔥🔥🔥

As a fellow Godzilla fan, it really hurts to see how toxic the fanbase can be, but thank goodness I haven’t witnessed it myself yet! If I ever do tho, I’ll make sure to call it out as well

I think it's the fact that Godzilla's gotten absurdly popular in the past few years, like before GvK, GxK, and Minus One, the community was for the most part ok, but now that everyone's wanting to be part of it, it's allowing a lot of bad people into a community made for an entirely different thing.

As a member of the Pacific Rim fanbase the MonsterVerse fanbase has been actively insulting us for a while and I say that yes, they are very toxic. One of the main reasons I don't want a Pacific Rim and MonsterVerse crossover is because the community's merging would only result in a more toxic fanbase.

Every time I see stuff like this I always remember "see something say something"Don't be a bully guys If you ever mean to somebody Just remember What comes around goes around So keep that in mind Next time you see someone getting bullied

Community is hella toxic and I’ll be honest I’m one of those people who wants that one kaiju to at least beat the other and I realize now that these kaiju wars are annoying and stupid and realize it doesn’t really matter! Just enjoy : I mean it’s fun to see who wins and who doesn’t at times but it’s to the it’s just not fun anymore

💯 I agree with this, my perspective is that I don't engage as much with the community and it just disappoints me that some people are just toxic of a certain topic its just crazy, but that doesn't stop me from doing the things I do and love, I'm glad you've addressed this

When the first trailer for GxK came out if anyone said anything negative about it loads of people would say bullshit like "you're not a real Godzilla fan!" You don't have to love every entry in the franchise.

Short answer: Yeah

Being a girl in the kaiju community it can sometimes feel really gross. Like often guys will get weirdly hostile as if I don’t belong or they’ll get creepy. Not the majority but definitely makes the fandom a less fun place to be.

"Well yes but actually no" Is the best I can describe the community and the toxicity.

THIS WHY I JUST WHACTH GODZILLA MOVIES AND DONT JOIN THE DEEP FANDOM

I, am going to expose myself right now, have ADHD and DCD. For those who don’t know what that is, look it up. Because of this, I fidget a lot, and my mind wanders a lot, and I struggle to pay attention to things. And, a memory that’s vivid in my head, was me struggling like hell in school during maths, and the teacher coming up to me and saying “if you want to distract the classroom, you might as well do it somewhere else. Your effort is pathetic” I remember almost crying, because maths is my favourite subject. Now, luckily for me, I have a friend in my class who is also a Godzilla fan. They went, and had a fricking argument with the teacher, and it was encouraging to see that people could stand up for me. Recently however, people have been cyber-bullying him for a claim. Want to know what the claim was? “Final wars is the most enjoyable Godzilla film, and minus one never will be”

Its pretty easy to know actually if its toxic or not, just say that you like Kong more than Godzilla

From my experience, the Godzilla community is one of the most toxic and heated community I’ve ever seen. For 1 of many countless examples. I had a person call me a delusional 3 year old for disagreeing with a “fact” (the “fact” was a statement said in the Millenium era that really doesn’t hold up anymore)

Honestly the community/fandom is currently divided the old fans which is the people who grew up with Godzilla against newer Godzilla fans. As a long time Godzilla fan, I am disgusted about how the newer Godzilla fans are acting. I hate how they are toxic like for example most of the new fans came from watching Minus One and after seeing how Evo. Goji is pink I HATED how they felt and said "it's woke" and "they ruined Godzilla", now first of all I wasn't personally a fan of Evo. Goji the first time I saw him but he did grew alot on him and ended up being one of my favourite Godzilla design OF ALL TIME. And what I hate the most is how the newer fans treat the older fans since sometimes if not almost most of the time the newer fans treat the older fans like shit. I see newer fans not respecting the opinions of older fans and worst of all disrespecting them and it's sad to see once a great good fandom become toxic, you know? I grew up watching Godzilla so he's very special to me but seeing how these newer fans act so disrespectful and toxic to not just the older Goji fans and other newer Goji fans but to also other fandoms which just breaks me to see that they are not just ruining the fandom but ruining Godzilla in general. I really hope the fandom becomes better soon and we can reduce this toxicity as soon as possible.

Dude what the fuck???? What is happening to us. What happened to enjoying giant monsters fighting for our entertainment. How could we allow this shit to happen to us. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

me when im a godzilla fan but not part of the fandom: 🌈☀🐬😶‍🌫

i think the main reason the community is becoming more toxic is because it used to be not as big as it is now, most fans including me would agree it was nice telling your friends about this "hidden gem" and it was but i think this toxicisity is very unnecessary and we should be happy about the growth of our favorite movie monster (i love your content)

Regardless of size and concept, all communities are going to have some form of toxic nature, tiny or a major defining factor of the community, but there are always just normal members casual fans, and hardcore yet open minded individuals, and when things start to get bad it can suck. But when those who have influence step up to address problems, potentially call out their own followers, it spreads hope, that a community can be better, thank you.

Appreciate the video man, I agree we need to improve, but I feel like this goes WAY beyond the Kaiju community alone.

To be honest i haven’t really known how toxic the godzilla fandom has gotten because I don’t really go onto godzilla discord servers and things like that But, I hope the fandom gets better because I hate to see it in the state it is

I kept leaving communities during godzilla x kong in theaters over the damn color of Godzilla spikes alone. I just enjoy the monsters in their entirety, no matter the movie or sequence. If even this is getting bad, I'm just not to going to say I'm a fan of anything anymore. Seems like it just invites trouble.

From my experience, it's the kids that ruin everything, specifically in the Monsterverse fan base. They are toxic and cringe trying to annoy anyone who isn't on their side. We're trying to have fun here not have idiotic debates of how Godzilla 1v1s everything abd don't even get me start with THOSE KZfaq animations. 🤮

I hate when this happens to a good series. Keep fighting the good fight Godzilla guy

It’s shameful and disgusting to know this is happening and it’s saddens me to hear this. I have heard of people calling Godzilla fans toxic and I thought it was just an insult since that’s said about Kong fans as well, but now I see what they mean. There are good and bad fans out there for any source of media and right now even Godzilla himself would be disappointed at this behavior. Let’s just hope that this gets addressed and called out. Dangerville,Goji Center,Goji Chronic,EVERYONE, this needs to end before things get out of control. May God touch out hearts and bless us all!

When it comes to the hate towards Godzilla '98, it’s extremely toxic. Some of those people get extremely aggressive when you call Godzilla '98 a Godzilla.

I am not in the toxic part of the community but this entire situation with the community makes me feel guilty for being apart of this community.

If this keeps on going the Godzilla fandom will just kill itself and will be known to be the worst fanbase ever then there will also be no movies for another decade

As a fan sense 2014,I agree that the fandom is at the bottom of the barrel.the sexiest and the dabbting is the worst of all and I don’t what new fans to think were bad people,there are good people in the community who are trying to stop this problem.

This is Exactly why I've always been afraid of Godzilla becoming super popular. Ever since the two recent movie's came out it's been exhausting.

The Godzilla Fandom is like an old, rustic coin: has seen a lot come and go, and whilst one side is lustrous and beautiful, the other is coated in all sorts of nasty shit. Like dried vomit and Chernobyl souvenirs.

Let's thank the toku fans who are actually pretty chill and are actual goats because they deserve it let's take the spotlight from the creeps and give to the people that deserve it because when you stop giving those creeps attention they will eventually fade away and then maybe when the new fans will see actual genuinely good people maybe they get inspired to do good as well thank you for reading

Wow……..I didn’t know the fandom was this bad I kind of see it as the positive side like Kong and the toxic side is scar king knowing the personally I new to the community joining in 2021 but I love it and hoping it gets better so far I met som amazing people in the community like you and goji center ❤

We are going through our MHA phase The more popular we get the more degenerates we get And Godzilla is a childhood thing as well Some fans are coming back to visit after not seeing it after a while Like myself so I’ve never seen this side of the fandom

Every community I know of is toxic. FNaF, Kong, Godzilla, literally every community is toxic. I’m part of the Godzilla community and I can confirm that it is the most toxic out of the 3 of them.

Rn the content we are getting is freaking peak but our fandom is not looking so good…

Yes, it is. As a lifelong Godzilla fan, ive seen pretty shitty stuff done by our community, such as doxxing people who didnt agree with them and brigading against other kaiju communities, like the one of Pacific Rim, which, a few weeks ago, got somewhat raided on Reddit by toxic Godzilla fans, with hate-posts (ex: Pacific Rim is lame compared to Godzilla) and insults

Just like every fandom, some people in it suck, but some a chill. The main ones that suck are the powerscalers, I really dont like those ones. Side note: I watched Monster Island buddies so much.

Fandoms are like the ocean they’re are so really good parts and so parts that need to stay in dark

As a queer trans and brown Godzilla fan yeah it’s def been toxic and intimidating to even comment / engage in the community 😭 I appreciate the fact that ppl are speaking up more about it tho !! I feel like it’s rlly not that hard to just enjoy big monsters fighting without being weird about other ppl.

Well maybe, since the debate between Godzilla and Kong after KOTM release, the Godzilla community becomes like this because of that factor. We can see it from like vs edits or debates video

As a guy who as been in cronics server yes, everything he said about the server is true. Racism, homophobia, slurs have all been used in this server so I would Like to back up Godzilla guy on this matter.

I would say yes, but it’s not NEARLY as bad as some other communities to the point that I feel like people look over it.

Thanks for bringing this up. I have distanced myself from the Godzilla fandom, because this fandom is crazy. I think all those weirdos simping after Shimo, a lizard, and shipping Godzilla with any female monster that comes up and I’m like “what is wrong with you guys” so I left. And I’m glad i left, I’m still a hardcore Godzilla fan, and I still love watching yours and MIB’s videos, but I think it’s best to leave while you’re still ahead. G-fans are a different breed of crazy. The Godzilla fandom has spent too many years being ostracized by people for liking Godzilla and being bullied for it and now they’ve become the very people that have hurt them growing up. That’s just sad! Never be a toxic fan!

Thank you for speaking out on this. I don’t dare touch Discord because it can be such a cesspit of terrible people, so thank you for addressing that. The toxicity in this fandom towards women and lgbtqia+ fans is getting awful and I would hate for them to get driven away more than they already have.

Its like every community its not gonna get any better, the best way to deal with it is to grow a pair or leave the community. After being around for many years I've grown so casual so the things I see and hear around. There's so many freaking predators around that I've truly lost count. This video was great from you kim and whoever else made a video. I might come back in for a bit and speak about it myself. Dangerville has made similar videos in the past before one of them featuring me about the toxicity of the fandom during minus one and GXK. Glad to see more others want to speak out about it.

All communities reach this point at some point just keep pushing strong Godzilla Guy

Unbelievably toxic with younger fans but far from that with the older ones...for the most part..

ever since gvk came out i feel like the community has skyrocketed in popularity which is a good and bad thing i’ve never really been involved with community debates but i think your right on this we need to be better as a community because if we don’t then we might as well leave i had know idea people were being racist or making thirst traps it honestly baffles me that actually happens and it must be painful to see that from your point of view especially when something you love becomes so toxic and negative it takes away the value i agree with on this and i will try my best to stop toxicity in this community thank you for spreading the message

15 years ago, if I was told this is what the state of the fandom would be like, I wouldn't believe it. But here we are. I'd ask what happened, but we already know, when a fandom grows to a certain extent, bad apples start getting in & start stirring up trouble. Despite probably being a small percentage, they're very loud, which pushes others away & makes the fandom as a whole look bad. And if you say it's because of fans of certain series in the franchise, you need to re-evaluate because you may be part of the problem.

the godzilla community has really gone down hill

We need the old Godzilla community to come back

Godzilla always leaves a toxic waste trail in his path of destruction.

I for real am just a fan of godzilla and other kaijus alike. The Godzilla community can be split into 1: normal fans 2: hardcore fans and 3: godzilla powerscalers. I would also like to say that a lot of Godzilla community is english which should of been obvious. Plus the growth of the fandom has been increasing dramatically.

Yo bro this video is amazing. I love how your spreading the aawareness.

Some people are chill in the community while theres a bunch of toxics so it's 20/80

I’m on the “vs” side of the community and he is actually correct. Are we toxic? Yes. Am I toxic? No. And it sucks to see this community fighting over big lizards and giant monkeys that aren’t even real. They just spit out shit and it’s sad. We want this community to stand tall. But it can’t

I myself back when I was younger was kinda sexist and aggressive towards other fandoms and because of that I was proud and very stubborn to not being a proper person but last summer I did some self reflection and I’m trying to be a more level headed person on the fandom. Sometimes I lose my temper but now I’m mostly calm and try to understand what is happening. And I have noticed what’s been happening on the Reddit and it’s just messed up.

It's definitely looking to be that way sadly. I don't indulge in the fandom because of how bad it's gotten. I'm a fairly new Godzilla fan so it's definitely put an impression on me but I've just ignored it, except for the creepy and gross side

After 16 years of G-Fest in a row (im from Joliet 45 min from the con) yes... G-Fest does suck and so do the fans. Remember when Deadzilla was outed as a predator? I saw that in real time and it sucks... Next year i intend to write a gonzo journalism piece on G-Fest. "Fear and Loathing at G-Fest" maybe. Lol. Who knows

I understood everything in this video One thing’s for sure, I’ve often had run-ins with a bunch of mean spirited fans that try to start with me the moment I say anything in regards to any Godzilla related stuff. Nowadays I can’t even bring myself to be serious anymore when it comes to people trying to debate with me, instead I just deny them any chance of heckling me by simply ignoring their attitudes and minding my own business

This is the main reason ive stayed out of the fandom and kept to myself because the moment i saw all monsters attack and Godzilla 1998 are two of my favorites,you can guess what happens

I got you Godzilla Guy I will try to help🫡 Please don't leave the Godzilla community 😭

godzilla guy ima post this i don't have to many fans but i will try my best to spread the word

Yes, a large portion of the Godzilla community is toxic, but that doesn't mean we can't stop it. We can make sure new fans have a great experience and enjoy being a Godzilla fan.

I don’t really touch the Godzilla fandom online much at all, never seen much toxicity at all. I’m friends with a few artists I’ve meet at G-fest though, never met anyone who was bad in person. (Yet anyway). I get getting defensive over power placement or people “shipping”, but nothing stood out as an actual issue.

Short answer: Yes Long answer: Watch the video cus that's cool.

3:13 that is weird af

Well I've personally never interacted with the community. The only Godzilla community I've known are my personal dear friends. We joke, watched some of the different era's of the Big G, etc. But I'm glad that you and among different KZfaqrs who are fans of Godzilla are standing up to those individuals who makes us look bad.

This right here describes all of my problems with the Godzilla fandom Great video

aw nah what the hell this was not the godzilla community i remember💀🙏

Our Greatest enemies Are amongst Us

About a few years ago I once told a KZfaqr to show his Godzilla 1999 Yuji sakai Maquette and few other Godzilla 1999 Yuji sakai models this guy had in his collection tour video. At the time I was a Massive Yuji Sakai fan and I love Yuji Sakai's Maquette Design versions of Godzilla 1999! This KZfaqr messaged me and All he said to me was "You got anymore Bright Idea"! I never messaged this KZfaqr back after what he wrote back to me. Even to this day No Reviews of those Godzilla 1999 Maquette's sculpted by Yuji Sakai from this KZfaqr!

Yo thanks for addressing this issue, the community has really gone woke and insane, let's just hope it goes smooth sailing from here
