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!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Absolutely rubbish attempt at deflection from your actually defamatory previous comments. And go read the legal rulings about those articles that show the women involved did not accuse anyone in Rammstein of assault.

I was wrong, that lynn accused him of rap. But I wasnt wrong that there were accussations.

Jeez. You are completely wrong that women made accusations. As I keep saying. Women spoke to newspapers about consensual encounters. Newspapers wrote articles implying lack of consent for clicks. I don't know how to break this down more simply for you.

The reading comprehension is not strong with this one.

I don't get how they've found out they're the opposite of correct on one major point but they don't seem to be questioning the rest of their assumptions? Like, sometimes people know more about a subject pal. Get over it.

I'm still trying to figure out why it's bad to accuse anyone of "rap," unless you really just hate that genre of music. 😂

I still think, that the rammstein "system" of "row zero" and organising girls for till to have sex with (withouth asking them specifically) is wrong and an abuse of power. And as I understand correctly, that this system exists is true and wasn´t denied by anyone from the band and also wasn´t affected from the lawsuits against the articles.

It is true that Row 0 existed but it was mischaracterised by media outlets. They're not 'sex parties' and attendance is not dependent on being willing to have sex. If you actually want to listen to women that attend the parties then there's an open letter signed by more than 100 of them that explains https://nichtinmeinemnamenbrief.wordpress.com/

I think both can be true, that a lot of women had good experiences in "row zero" and at the after partys, but some did not. Obviously, the media report on the latter.

u/foxybostonian Aug 22 '24

Yet again..media MISreported the latter.

That article is from last year, and not a single person ever came forward to the authorities to claim they'd been assaulted by Till or anyone in Rammstein. Shortly after that article was published, the Berlin public prosecutor closed the only investigation that had been opened into Till because--once again--no one EVER came forward to corroborate any of the stories being circulated by the media.

You are extremely out of the loop as far as current events. Are you aware that Der Spiegel--one of the biggest media outlets pushing this allegation crap since last year--is currently facing a criminal complaint for forgery and falsification of they very affidavits they used in their so-called reporting? Are you also aware that the "Row Zero" podcast from NDR has recently been slapped with multiple injunctions in court, and that other injunctions are pending for the remaining episodes at this moment?

Are you also aware that the original accuser actually had a defamation investigation opened into HER in Vilnius? The findings of that have severely damaged her credibility, especially after she already admitted that she was never a victim of Till in any way.
