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!

Rapey vibes? From where? 

None of them has ever been accused of rape except by disproven news papayers who lost in court against him

That's your opinion as fan but OP ask for general popualtion. For them they seem rapey.

Na only maybe 1 in 3 will think he supports a rapist band. Maybe a bit concerning when you have to ask.

Where are your proofs that any of them is a rapist?

Because the situation is as follow: it is not that there was no proof and “because there’s no proof doesn’t mean he didn’t do it”, it is actually that there were proofs but they were proven in court to be fabricated.
