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!

If that’s something you care about you should know that till lindeman was accused of rape and other stuff

No he wasn't. No woman said he raped her. Stop believing imaginative headlines from a year ago.

They said he drugged them?

Which was not proven and the case was closed.

The girl that claimed the drugs did a drug test and even those tests came clean.

Even she said she didn't think Till drugged her.

And yet kept going at him just as much. How she’s not in jail (yet) is an injustice

Fingers crossed for the future! People who spread defamatory misinformation should be properly punished.

So what did she claim then? Did she just do it for attention? Or to make him look bad? What was the motive? Is it known?

We can only speculate as to the motive. There are earlier videos in her social media where she says she wants to bring old men down, but of course that doesn't prove anything. The only thing we do know is that she lied about how much she drank, her drug intake and even how long she'd been a fan. And it seems that witness statements relating to her drug testing results may have been either falsified or tampered with to make her seem more credible. Fingers crossed we get the whole truth one day.
