The rules might not apply, but the subject matter is avoided all the same for commercial reasons, since the audience finds it very sensitive. The rules, of course, exist as a reflexion of the sensibilities of the people. It's similar to how in Germany anything related to the Third Reich is treated with the utmost sensitivity, with many rules; these rules exist as the people willed it so. The end result was that the videogame Wolfenstein 3D had to be significantly edited ere it could be legally sold on the German market, as it depicted Third Reich soldiers in accurate uniforms, which was considered too sensitive, even though they are the opposing side the player is fighting against.
