This is an interesting idea. Narrative media with good themes and messages. Could be both enjoyable to make and helpful for both the writer and the consumer. If subtle enough, might promote Christian values to other people too.
The dangers to avoid would be slipping into secular and other sinful themes, or forgetting the reason for producing the media and doing it primarily for fame or profit instead.

As part of that narrative switch women have started taking over for men in terms of being White Knights.
The problem is Non-Christians identify with the villains. So the villains have been getting better and better treatment as time goes on.
When I was in High School and I spent most of my days going to school and doing homework I was appalled by the violence in Gladiator and Fight Club. However violence is part of being a man. It's only bad when it's used to commit injustice, however correcting injustice also requires violence.

I thought of two possible ways of writing villains in the hopes of avoiding this. The first would be writing villains that are horribly grotesquely evil that no one would sympathize with them. The issue with this would be that today people are fascinated with even some of the most evil of characters.
The other way I can think of would be instead of straight villains, using antagonists that go through redemption to become morally better people. The problem here is running the risk of people empathizing with them too early, before the redemption occurs.
All that being said, as much as I like this idea of producing media that promotes Christin values, I don't want to derail the main topic of this thread.

Maybe we ought to recommend more proper media for christians here?
Quite disagree, if anything, they're making religious people the villain in some of the media, like if thrusting god and the church is some kind fanaticism.

Is anime/manga sinful, lads? Even the light ones that doesn't contain sexual content and extreme violence like Koe no Katachi, Toradora!, Aria, Ghibli etc.?
What does the Catholic Church say about this?

Fan service like sucking on a popsicle or showing ass shots is bad, but there's still some redeeming qualities.
For example there's still generally the good guys versus the bad guys and motivational dialogue about working harder and not giving up.
