So Nintendo's okay with ecchi games on the USA 3DS, as long as it's not obviously a Nintendo game? Even though Nintendo still profits due to licensing? All the while Nintendo infuses their own Japanese games with ecchi, then censoring them here, while pretending we're all none the wiser?
Sorry, that's not a double standard I can get behind. Neither can I turn a blind eye to censorship and pretend Nintendo knows best what I should and shouldn't be allowed to see just because I'm an oblivious gaijin.
CAN YOU FEEL THE WEEBRAGE
Overall it hardly matters. 99% of people who play Fire Emblem Fates won't miss rubbing on their waifus (or hubbiefus even). Nintendo knows that and laughs at my disdain.
Look at their history of censorship of a game versus a similar title from third parties and it's obvious. Also how many T or M games have they ever developed let alone published? They push their clean family image near to a level of destruction as far as keeping later teen and adult buyers coming back knowing there's an endless supply of kids and kids with uptight parents. They won't drop that squeaky image unless it meant their doom and even then I'm not so certain.
I don't even mind it if they do it, it's expected. When I get hot about it is when some other dumbass third party company publishes a game on a Nintendo system and they edit the things out of it. I know it's minor but it's a good one. Remember Final Fight on SNES how they took out 'Oh my God' to the car being wrecked, put in stick boy losers removing Roxy and Poison, and then also the small almost unnoticeable blood spatter when being beaten or cut by a weapon? That was 1991, yet a decade later on the GB Advance they did that same shit on Final Fight One in the US. Thanks to the internet I found out about it, bought the game from Japan second hand as I wasn't going to give Crapcom a fucking penny for that garbage. (Of note they also had Ubisoft publish a broken copy of Super SF2 for the US and EU market, so I ended up buying the Japanese one so getting Akuma wouldn't break my game.)
You either roll over and play dead or find ways around it, sadly for 3DS due to their moronic blocking of import games because their so so scared because the devices have internet on them, you have to buy a system to go with that import, but it is a choice.

I for one am starting to get really tired of Nintendo's shit.
Is it really a double standard if there are two different branches?

And again, allowing a game on your platform is different from publishing a game on your platform. Nintendo would have never made Mad World or No More Heroes, and I highly doubt they would have published either, but they were ok with having them on their console. The days of Nintendo imposing censorship on third party stuff is over. But they're free to adjust their own titles during the localization process if they think it will better suit the market.
Take off your weeb rage hat for a second and put yourself in the average gamer shoes. Maybe you played Awakening because you heard good things about it, and you had fun. Then you pick up this game and there's a minigame where you stroke a minimally clothed party member with your stylus. That's going to feel a little pervy.

Dude I've tried. The damn thing won't come off. It's fused into my skin.
Wait, you mean not everyone has a weeb hat permanently attached to his body? Damn. We're doing some wrong, bro. Or very, very, very right.

I understand your frustration, but I think that there are some sales issues at play in these decisions as well. Ratings factor into a lot of people's game buying decisions, and I strongly suspect that non-FPS games with "E" and "T" ratings sell better than games with "M" ratings, particularly on Nintendo consoles. (How often do you see M-rated platformers?)
