You said in a comment, "Toho barely tolerates the existence of the western Godzilla fandom" why is that?

maybe because we ship to many of there Kaiju . . . thats only because of those people possibly.
I don't know if you're joking, but Toho as a company absolutely doesn't give a rip about people shipping kaiju. (And frankly, I've never seen any sector of the fandom more obsessed with stomping out any talk of it than the users of this site. Y'all need to chill.) However, they seem to come down much harder on American fans than Japanese fans, dating back to the early G-Fests in the 1990s (there's no U.S. equivalent to Wonder Festival, where fans can sell garage kits with one-day licenses, for instance).
I don't remember when I posted that comment or what the context was, but I may have had the Artist Alley restrictions at the last G-Fest in mind (which turned out to have nothing to do with Toho and everything to do with behind-the-scenes con drama lmao).
Huh, neat.
Also, like you said, they like our money.
I was joking about the Kaiju shipping.
