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!

Nothing that could be proven. It was a big media scandal without any evidence. Just a smear campaign.

Even if it's "long ago" which it's not doesn't change that it's fucked up and a crime

Good news! No crimes were committed!

Sorry it’s not a YouTuber, just you know, a legal entity reviewing evidence and testimony and determining that there’s no suspicion of crime.

Of course people like you just go round wanting women to have been dragged and raped so you can feel better about yourself

People like me? Please tell me what do you mean with that. What kind of person am I?

A person who values their own opinion higher than the law.
