ph055a @Jiimin12 Niki Pablo Pérez DW Europe You don't seem to see the difference between insult and humiliation.

It's in German, but this video of an Auschwitz survivor tells us all. I hope you understand. Have a good night.

mariana 杏詩 Anshie 🍁 ph055a @Jiimin12 Niki Pablo Pérez DW Europe If ph055a really wants the details: here they are:
For Insult of persons §185 StGB gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/… (and gossip in §186) there is normally a fine, rarely ever jail. This also holds for a group, eg. if I call a group of policemen 'bastards'.
However there is a verdict 1/x

mariana 杏詩 Anshie 🍁 ph055a @Jiimin12 Niki Pablo Pérez DW Europe that saying 'all cops are bastards' is covered by the right of free speech, if it's general and not directed to individuals.
On the other hand there is §130 'incitement of masses'
gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/… especially against ethnic or religious groups, violating their dignity.. 2/3

mariana 杏詩 Anshie 🍁 ph055a @Jiimin12 Niki Pablo Pérez DW Europe inciting hatred or even calling for violence. This is always sentenced by jail.
There are as always grey zones which depend on the context and have then to be clarified by court. So you can't generally say that 'rat' will be treated as an insult. It depends.

Hope this helps? 3/3
