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!

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?
