FSK 16 is a classification used in Germany to indicate that a film or video game is suitable for viewers aged 16 and older. This rating is part of the Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle (Voluntary Self-Regulation) system, which aims to protect young audiences from inappropriate content. Content rated FSK 16 may include moderate violence, strong language, or sexual themes, but it is not considered excessively graphic. The rating helps parents and guardians make informed decisions about what media is appropriate for their teenagers, ensuring a balance between entertainment and age-appropriate content.
