FSK 12 is a classification used in Germany to indicate that a film or video game is suitable for viewers aged 12 and older. This rating means that the content may contain some scenes that are not appropriate for younger children, but it is generally considered acceptable for pre-teens and teenagers. The FSK system, which stands for "Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft," is a voluntary self-regulation system for the film industry. It helps parents and guardians make informed decisions about what media is appropriate for their children based on the content's themes, language, and intensity.
