Being "anti-christian" is an issue, because it is always an issue when a society is against a group of people.
One has the right to make fun and criticize religions, but not a large group of people, especially solely based on their traits, be it religion/faith, sexuality, etc.
This is somehow fine as these are our official 'state enemies'. It is funny how the problem is when it is turned around.
CoD and BF both went back to WWI/WWII for some releases as well.
And whatever Fortnite and Overwatch’s settings are. Kinda-cartoon kinda sci-fi?
I don’t think there as many generic modern shooters these days.
Doom is kinda sci-fi and kinda killing actual demons from hell ¯\(ツ)/¯
Islam is quite problematic in this aspect. AFAIK the current resurgence of political Islam stems from its very core. Maybe it could be reformed to be (durably !) compatible with a secular state, but would that reformed religion be still Islam, or would it be as different as Christianity is from Judaism ?
In today's society, with emphases on unconscious bias, race theory and egalitarianism, we are generally not okay with this kind of tone.
You mean like every single Call Of Duty game? Because it is in fact regularly being done.
the franchise does have you spend a lot of time killing people in the middle east, but the games don't explore religious ideology. the context clues pretty clearly point to your adversaries being jihadists and/or soldiers for a fundamentalist regime, but I don't recall the games ever explicitly saying so. in COD, terrorists blow things up simply because they are terrorists, not because they have any sort of coherent goal.
this is not to say that depictions in COD are not damaging in their own way, but they don't have anything quite so blatant as what is described in TFA.
I think no religion or religious organization should be spared of critique, but realize that in the West, (Christians), have been exporting culture that's kind of about trashing other peoples.
Take a look at Call Of Duty or even something as innocent looking as Uncharted for how 'we' are treating other cultures.
