What am I referring to exactly? The god-awful GINO nickname. I've NEVER liked that nickname, ever. I think it's derrogitory, offensive to Zilla, and just a way for G-Fans to make themselves feel better by calling Zilla that. I have RARELY used the nickname myself (Though I do admit I used it quite frequently when TurokSwe was out of control, referring him/her/it as a "GINO-Fanboy", but that was because I was angry and trying to insult him/her/it, and NOT the movie). Not even Pre-Final Wars era. Before Final Wars, I referred to it as what TurokSwe refers to Zilla, the American Godzilla. After Final Wars? I've always called it Zilla since.

I really don't know WHY I hate the GINO nickname other than the fact that I personally see it as a insult that Goji-purists use to bash the 98 film, but I do. It's yet another reason I don't really like Toho Kingdom Forums, they're full of weeaboo purist fanboys who pretend the Zilla name change doesn't even exist and they just throw GINO around like it's a household name or something, it sickens me. Oh, and I'm sorry for using "GINO" here, but I just need to to diferrientiate the 1998 Zilla from the 2004 Zilla without having to use excess numbers.
