Editorial Standards

At Kaiju United, it is our primary goal to provide reliable, factual, and consistent coverage of all things giant monsters. Because of this, we strictly adhere to editorial guidelines put in place to ensure that we remain one of the top destinations for kaiju fans everywhere. Every single contributor, staff member, and higher-up will adhere to these rules and regulations at all times, with zero exceptions. By joining Kaiju United in any capacity, you agree to these terms.

Plagiarism

KU has a zero tolerance policy towards plagiarism. Anyone caught directly lifting from another body of work will face consequences not limited to but including removal of pieces and cease of publication to Kaiju United entirely. Every single accusation of plagiarism will be investigated at every single level, even the top.

AI

Usage of artificial intelligence to write, generate, or otherwise produce pieces is strictly forbidden. We’re okay with transcription services in places like Adobe Premiere Pro, but even those must be used as a tool rather than the end-all-be-all. It is our strict guideline that every single final edit is reviewed by our human editorial team and written pieces are written by human beings. Kaiju United is vehemently against generative AI images. No exceptions.

Facts

Kaiju United believes in not being the first, but the best. We will publish news if confirmed by major community sources with reliability, such as Toho Kingdom or SciFi Japan, but urge our writers to adhere to brands/companies/organizations themselves. Our primary sources are usually press releases & kits, official statements, or direct firsthand contact with filmmakers, artists, editors, marketing directors, and more. Running leaks of any kind on Kaiju United is strictly forbidden.

Reviews

Our official stance with reviews of any kind is honesty. We want an honest, fair review, even if it is not as positive. We sometimes receive early copies of books, movies, comics, and television, but that does not impact how we review things. Our review scores are generated by how enjoyable it is from a community/fan perspective, but with a critical lens thrown in. We have never, nor will ever, take a payment or a gift for a review of any kind.
