Concerning the beheading and the infamous BPJS (Bundesprüfstelle für Jugendgefährdende Schriften -> roughly translated: federal agency for writings(or books) endangering the youth)…
I am not so sure the censors ever saw the beheadings. They famoulsy had no idea how to even start a computer, let alone play a game. So they had teenagers playing and demonstrating the games to them.
So if the kid in question didn’t know it or just didn’t show it to them, they would have had no clue.
