TLDR version: German considers Mein Kampf being available less harmful to the country than girls in sexy outfits or even innuendo in games. For some insane reason rather then put an age rating on certain games such as Valkyrie Drive or Criminal Girls 2 and thus make it clearly marked not suitable for minors. Instead the German ratings board is refusing the titles classification and thus same claiming it could be harmful to children for the game to even be able to be sold to adults. So is this the latest in the "Every game must be made for every person" or just some insane worry that the rising rape stats in German are caused by video games?

Germany have been censoring games for years, this is nothing new. At least they aren't Australia.

Mostly though it's not truly been them doing it so much as an old ruling about how you can't show Nazi Symbolism but while artistic uses (including film) allow it, no video game company has yet actually challenged it for games to see if games are seen as an artistic medium to the German legal system

germans(the rating agencies) are a little more sensitive about violence and sexual content than america is, some games with graphic violence have had to be censored in the past in order to be released there, and games like criminal girls have been denied classification before outside of japan except for the censored version released recently.

Differences:
 Rating: M https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_Megami_Tensei:_Persona_4 Rating: 12 Also, games that don't get a rating can still be sold but aren't allowed to be advertised or openly displaced, so this is partially fake news.

In Germany it's illegal to burn the flags of foreign allies at national events. It's okay to burn German flags, though (so long as you bought them. Burn one that is government property, and you're in big, BIIIIG trouble-- more trouble than you'd be in for simply ripping a window frame/siding off of the parliamentary building.)

Wrong, it's also illegal to burn the German flag, if you do it in public that is: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verunglimpfung_des_Staates_und_seiner_Symbole "Denigration of the state and it's symbols"
