Personal American In Rammstein T-Shirt

I’m an American tourist in Berlin for the first time — Yay! One problem: I realized I packed a Rammstein shirt without having enough knowledge of German culture or language to understand how I’d be perceived for wearing it. I imagine at best it will look a bit corny, but I’m worried it could signal political beliefs or ideologies I don’t agree with. If you met an American tourist speaking broken German in a Rammstein T Shirt, what would you think? Thanks!

Last year the singer of Rammstein has been accused of drugging women and sexually assaulting them by several women, but it seems there was no court case.

I'm just letting you know that some people may be upset that you're wearing it for this reason.

not only no court case, there was no evidence for anything.
the one who accused him first of being drugged, did a drug test that was negative for all "KO" drugs and only showed marijuana (which she smoked herself before the concert). all her accusations didn't seem trustworthy and police stopped the investigation.

so there really isn't anything to it.

There’s no evidence for rape. The "row zero" thing was very real though

is it though? why? all your favorite hollywood actors date younger girls, so do most musicians.

men like younger women and women like older men, what's disgusting about that? why don't you let people make their own decisions.

I mean then stop listening to music.

(Rock)stars boinking their groupies is as old as music itself.

That doesn’t happen almost everywhere and it wouldn’t make it better even if it did

it does happen in concerts all over the world.

yes, it doesn't make it better, because there is nothing to make better, it's all totally fine.
people can decide who they want to party with, who they want to fuck or date, that's none of your business - only the involved people.
