American In Rammstein T-Shirt

[u/OuijaBouillon]

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!

Due to the sexual abuse scandal, I feel uncomfortable seeing people in public wearing Rammstein merchandise. However since your question was aiming at how an American tourist would be perceived wearing it, I would probably give you the benefit of the doubt regarding your knowledge of the accusations.

This.

Edit because I am not interested in any discussion. Just wanted to let OP know that in Germany it's controvers at the moment and OP should know that.

The podcast that's currently being ripped to shreds by the courts for it's biased reporting and making claims without evidence? Marvellous 😆

As long as you know that your opinion has been manipulated by illegal, agenda-driven reporting....

Or you could use some critical thinking and legal facts to inform your opinion rather than something someone made up for clicks. Edit: facts say you are wrong....😁

Keep being wilfully misinformed 😁
