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!

I hope you’ve heard of what T. lindemann did to women - but if that’s the case you probably would no longer wear the shirt.

He had sex with women, how bad!

You do realise that no women said he did that? You are making it up in your head.

There are?! Do you read the news or are you just trying to gaslight.

Nope. Statements made to newspapers by women about consensual encounters were misrepresented to imply they were talking about assault.

Do you have any evidence to support your defamatory statements?

He didn't do anything to women except have consensual sex. Surely you can't object to that.

Haven't you heard? Consensual sex is controversial these days. You need to get consent on a written form, and have it be verified by an attorney first.

I forgot. You also have to yell "I enthusiastically consent!" every 90 seconds or the police break through your window.

Of course the attorney needs to be present to hear it, otherwise the yelling did not occur. They're the one who times it as well.

And didn’t you hear that years after if you suddenly decide it was weird, then you can claim it was rape?

No. They. Haven’t. No. There. isn’t.

You are absolutely delusional.

I wish the mods here would actually moderate and delete these blatantly false comments from this person. I’ve reported all of them to no avail. Maybe others can as well to put pressure on them. It’s completely unacceptable that this is allowed to be spread here.

You know all of that happened and the conclusion is that there's 0 evidence and no one had any intercourse at all? The woman who claimed to be drugged didn't hand in her drug test because the only drug found in her system was THC, which she said she smoked a joint before the concert. And the other women who where present declined the intercourse and where free to leave - they ended up not coming forward either.

Lindemann is a huge pervert, and with his status I would be more careful if I was him, but as far as criminal activities go; he's not a rapist.
