I've said this argument before and I'll say it again. Just as you as a foreigner(I presume) seem to think that animes portray Allied countries negative(something I do not see in particular, there are more overall positive American anime characters I can call from the top of my head than German anime characters), you have to remember that canon TYPEMOON had used BUDDHA as a villain in one of their games to be sold in Japan, a country with higher Buddhist population than Christians. Is anybody whining about that? No.

I understand that you are probably Christian-biased(if not Christian aligned) when it comes to medias, but that's also the problem I see, Christians don't seem to care much when it comes to portraying other people's religions in a non-respective fashion. The MOBA game Smite allows you to play as Hindu gods, among playable gods of other pantheons, which means there will be depictions of Hindu gods getting hit, mauled, and died in the game, and Marvel comics had once portrayed Shiva as being defeated by Thor. Both of these two cases caused controversy in US Hindu communities, of course, but what do the general Christian population say? "They're just acting butthurt, don't mind them".

If official companies can get away with portraying other religions in non-respective fashion, I don't see why some thought-provoking controversial characters would be too extreme for us as a fanon.
