To start the disscusion off, Here are some of mine:

-Legendary fanboys. The kind of people who see G14 as the next 54.

-The cult of Bagan

-Everything always  turning into a Toho vs Legendary debate. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's more common on Youtube.

-TohoKingdom

-Kaijuzilla261 and other people who were incredibly negative towards Shin Godzilla before it's release. This also ties into Legendary fanboys

-Mixing with other fandoms, it never ends well. This also causes crosovers that don't need to happen. (MLP,FNAF, Undertale, Sonic, Steven Universe,RWBY, Pokemon, Attack on Titan, Mario, Sonic, etc)

-The Brigde (a stupid MLP/Godzilla crossover)

-Crossovers that people think are good ideas, but are just overused in fanfics (Pacific Rim, Jurassic Park, etc) This is more of a nitpick.

-Did I mention Bagan?

-Monster Island Buddies ripoffs, I'm talking legions of medicore to terrible toy shows that lack any originality and blatanly steal from MIB an whatever else they can find. I'm willing to forgive the ones that are clearly made by children however.

-Godzilla Neo, I personally don't like the designs, the story telling reeks of bad fanfiction, and it has spawn countless ripoffs on Deviantart.

-Godzilla vs Koopzilla/relating material, this was a very bad fan film to me. Oh and to the creator, while I don't think Godzilla is invincible, I think he can still beat BOWSER. I mean, really?

-People who hate on a very specific incarnation of Godzilla (1967, 2016, etc)

-People who are STILL whining about Zilla

-People who act like a Death Battle means/decides anything (this goes for ALL fandoms) Seriously, those fights do not decide anything.

-The "Godzilla can beat everyone"/ "Godzilla vs All" people

-People who still believe in misconceptions that have been proven wrong time and time agian (The "Mechagodzilla 2" name contreversy, Godzilla vs the Devil, Godzilla is invincible, etc)

-People who think Minya is G14 or G16

-M.U.T.O fans, similar to Legendary fanboys. These people tend to regard the M.U.T.Os as the greatest Godzilla villains of all time.

-Weeaboos/otakus (I blame the anime movie, along with the Evangelion thing. Seriously, that crossover is never going to happen)

-Bad fan art (Godzilla doesn't have feathers, or a million spikes, and he isn't a T-Rex)

-Bad fanfics (Such as the afore mentioned Brigde)

-Original fan characters  (most of them are very lazy.)

-The people who hate on other Kaiju/toku franchieses because they like Godzilla more

-Idoits (this goes for every fandom)

-People who can't take opinoins

-People who can't take critisism

-CGI elitists/people who attack other users when they say they want suitimation back in Godzilla movies.

-The people who say that certain monsters are too "unrealistic" for the Legendary. Seriously, these kind of people can be quite the buzzkills.

-The people who will inevetably get offended by my list.

-Shipping. It's a problem with any fanbase, so of course it's here to. Seriously, if I see another GodzillaxMothra ship.......I'm gonna start flipping tables. The obly time it's ever worked, is in the Youtube series Godzilla & Mothra loving Kaijus,and it only worked in  that show  because it had good storytelling, and wasn't fanfic garbage.

EDIT* I changed a few things to avoid some confusion.

If you have anything that you particularly don't like about the fandom, then share it below.

I agree with about 95% of what you said, but I do take slight offense to you "mixing with other fandoms" comment. I'm personally a huge, huge Godzilla and Marvel fan myself, and I'm currently working on a massive crossover story which I'm really trying my best on. Other than that small gripe, everything here is pretty dead on to what I've seen on the internet.
