Germany Drops Paintball Ban, Goes After Bomberman

Anyone has a right to protest, I don't care who they are. And this is coming from a Grandchild of Survivors. And I find it amusing that while everyone is being dumbfounded that Nazi's still exist (hell, if memory serves, a self-professed Nazi almost won in the race for PM), and saying they get what they deserve, I'm far more concerned by Germany's attitudes on banning things willy-nilly. As a paintball player as well as someone who reads, watches the "news," et cetera, I've got to say that from what I can tell, those who play paintball aren't any more likely to flip out and redecorate with their peers' innards. And trying to ban Bomberman because some putz used the image in a way that would incite violence makes little sense. Best ban pictures of cows, because they might be used to incite obesity. Hell, ban images of Dig Dug because it might incite strip-mining. Now I know that this is neither the first, nor the last time a government isn't burdened with things such as logic and critical thinking, but this is pretty silly, even by American alarmist standards.
It's official. Germany is officially the Japan of Europe.
That would explain a whole load of things.

Well... no... not so much...Woe Is You said:
Japan is crazy because the people and culture and crazy...
But most people in Germany can be considered normal or at least mostly harmless...
The Problem lies more on the political side of things, with our laws, rules and idiots in charge going totally bananas on each other...
Germany has a lot of people in power who have no idea what is going on and why, but each of them wants to get the biggest piece of a cake they haven´t even found yet. So they all randomly slash out what they think is best for the country without ever stopping to maybe listen to each other or, god beware, think about what they´re doing in the long run...
And the general public sits idly in between and takes all the blows...
If you think that germany is crazy because of stuff like this paintball or bomberman thing, you should try to live there... this is just the tip of the iceberg as the saying goes...

Okay, if I understand this correctly, these aren't the Nazis of yore, but just a political party, correct?
If I am right, still, why in the fucking hell would you call yourself a Nazi, or even hint or allude to that?
BAD things happened in Germany because of them, so how could these groups get any support? Unless there are pockets of racists over there...
Anywho, I hate racists with a passion. I don't care if BIG BRO tags me as being violent. If I meet a neonazi or a KKK, somebody's going to have to pry me off their jugular vein.
Bottom line:
Bomberman, stickin' it to the bad guys.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with Germany? I'm not being sarcastic, I really want to know why they act the way they do. It doesn't really make sense to me (not that I'm saying most things do, but for being a Western culture, Germany acts rather strange .
They are not a Nazi party per se. At least not officially because if you deny the Holocaust openly or state that Jews or foreigners should be thrown out or discriminated then you get the Hammer of law in your face. However, being right wing, even if a little extreme, is not against the law. It's just a political direction. They have the right to protest like everyone else in the country. It's called freedom of speech, you know it? (Yeah, not only America has that...) Of course not all right wing people are automatically Nazies and the people who are would never admit it.
I don't find anything wrong with how Germany handles these kind of things. Openly promoting Violence against people of any political view is bad thought I think with Bomberman here it was rather meant as a more cutesy way to promote action against Nazies but whatever.
You know what? Screw it. Let's just do more knee jerk reactions against Germany's actions because it's easy to stereotype. LoL Nazies
On a side not, they dropping the ban of Paintball? I fucking called it.
