Try replacing "christian" in your statement with "jew" or "muslism", and read it out loud.
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.
- AsyncAwait 6y agoIt's funny you say that because most modern FPS games are about American Christians 'taking care' of large groups of people in foreign lands, including Muslims in the Middle East, Chinese, North Koreans etc. This is somehow fine as these are our official 'state enemies'. It is funny how the problem is when it is turned around.
- snouger 6y agoI think this is a dated comment, actually. Scifi is increasingly popular, with multiple CoDs using it, the new Prey, Titanfall/Apex, the upcoming (unless it’s delayed again) Cyberpunk, etc. 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)/¯
- BlueTemplar 6y agoWhat do you do when people identify first by their religion ? 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 ?
