The (-18) does though (but is very rarely used). Again IIRC.

Also Royal actually used the word "pollute" and not "contaminate". Not that different I guess. (Also for the record Royal as been following this "line of thought" for years, since the 80's, back when she was opposed to the diffusion of many Japanese anime series].

Finally it seems the minister didn't change the rating. According to the AFP news they asked "for a second viewing by the comity, as allowed by a decree, and following a request from the producers". They debated and then settled for a (-12) rating.
