You mean like every single Call Of Duty game? Because it is in fact regularly being done.
- leetcrew 6y agokeep in mind roughly half of the call of duty games are set in WWII (or space, lol) where this religious subtext doesn't really exist. 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.
