Konami ditches Six Days in Fallujah

No really no, the stigma is appalling.

US & Brits killing Nazis oh hey that's fine because we're not specifically aiming at Germans but "Nazis".
US & Britain killing generic Terrorists, that's also fine because we're not specifically saying Arab or Muslim but "terrorist".
US & Britain killing specific enemy in specific area of battle, you insensitive ***** how dare you dishonour those who have fallen and those who continue to fight with such tripe!

It's as Spanca said, instead of 6 days in Fallujah if it was 6 days in Call of Duty the beat up would be minimal because it would be deemed "generic" if instead of Iraq it was 1940 Prague or a generic Arab town looking very Arab filled with Arab looking people, no one would give a toss because it'd be "generic" yet as soon as some realism is attempted, as soon as some correlations are drawn it's sickening how the moral walls immediately rise up and everything which is considered "free" and "protected" is suddenly off limits.

Can't have it both ways, either the industry is mature enough to handle current events or it's entirely insignificant to printed media, TV and Screen who convey current events willy nilly.

Truth be told I wonder what would have happened if instead of using the military Konami went with the Columbine shoot up. "We'll you seem to have no problem with movies and games on your criminals ala Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so what's your boggle now?"

Eh as with most things you take a story and elaborate a bit (a lot) but the reason why I brought that particular instance up was that it was basically an excuse for carnage in the US using some premise of fact to validate it. I highly doubt the game would have used the names of servicemen who participated in the actual skirmish making the waters murky enough where you could say "it was GI Joe minus the ninja fighting Cobra in Iraq!" and it'd be believable if at the start you uttered the catch phrase.

They're fine with TCM despite the connotations that they made a cult hero over a murderer because the waters are murky enough to hide behind, they had a specified location in which it occurred and they added a chainsaw to add to the gore factor.

This was deemed ok for one medium, criticised and slammed for another and people are saying it's understandable and alright to have this double standard in practice.

Sure you wouldn't have it in a high population area (hence Texas with huge... tracks of land), but then again warzones generally aren't highly populated by civilians during the conflict either.
