White Godzilla fans...

I think ALOT of White people like Godzilla/Kaiju movies because it gives them a sense of schadenfreude seeing Japan and other parts of Asia in a state of disaster.

They see themselves in either Godzilla or other monsters laying waste to that part of the world.

Through Godzilla and other Kaiju movies, they can relive Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the carpet bombing of Korea, the administration of agent orange in Vietnam, the suppression of Phillipine resistance….

The Japanese are processing collective trauma, their complicated relationship with nuclear power, ongoing United States military presence, tradition vs. “progress,” and other things through Kaiju movies…

White Americans aren’t here for that, though.

Basically we should be as suspicious of White Godzilla fans as we are of White Punisher fans.

You could also choose to not be racist. Ever thought of that?
