Battle of the Songs IV - Final Round - CHRISTMAS SONGS!!!!!!

[RDK]

Overall Australia has a very strict censorship thing going with games and movies, afaik. Yes, Germany is also quite strict with specific things, but it's still not as bad as it is down under.

I just remember Gears of War being banned in Germany which I found super odd....

And also it really affected Xbox360 sales there in its early days since it was one of the stand-out exclusives

Germany bans certain images for sure, prob some games. I know for sure a certain album cover is banned there. Australia has a notorious censor board for sure, stuff comes out super late too. too lazy to look atm but def bunch of dumb shit banned there or rated super high for no reason. Murdock loves his fear mongering

About that

On 9 August 2018, Germany lifted the ban on the usage of swastikas and other Nazi symbols in video games. "Through the change in the interpretation of the law, games that critically look at current affairs can for the first time be given a USK age rating," USK managing director Elisabeth Secker told CTV. "This has long been the case for films and with regards to the freedom of the arts, this is now rightly also the case with computer and videogames."

About that

interesting.

for the record, the album cover in question is Butchered at Birth

And yea, that kind of confirms my suspicion that Germany is strict but it was for very specific things. which i always found funny in my youth because of the other reputation they have regarding being open to kink

That's possible, yea. You could still import it though, it's not illegal to have it at least.

Which is just stereotyping and I don't know where that comes from.

I have to think it comes from western (american) media stereotypes? like legit was a lot of shows of people going to germany for the kink for example. so i think just repeated exposure and jokes made on numerous shows makes it become a full on stereotype
