How about we don't encourage a rapist instead?

Edit: Can't believe my comment is in the negative right now... Is the majority around here rape apologists or something?

[-] Huby@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Innocent until proven guilty? If I said you raped me, are you a rapist now?

The investigation was dropped because of lack of evidence.

[-] Koike@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago

Man, I've work as a roadie on their show, there was maybe 20 girls, bearly 18, hand picked by some security dude right in front of the stage, the whole group was moved to backstage as soon as the show ended, they're famous for their post show orgies, it's fucking gross, some were really young and he's 60... I loved Rammstein, but now it feels wrong. Maybe he hasn't been convicted due to lack of evidence (also remember he has money and isn't your regular joe), but defending a man fucking girls when he could be their grand pa is also fucking gross.

[-] ArcticLynx@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

the age of the women really isn't the problem here. if a woman is 18+ she can fuck whoever she wants, even men thrice her age. even girls between 16 and 18 are legally allowed to have sex with much older men, as long as they aren't compensated for it.

the problem here is rather the lack of consent. many women report being sexually assaulted or even drugged and raped.

[-] Koike@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's not a problem for you, but it is for me, as I said I find it really fucking gross to fuck 18yo when you're 60... but to each his own I guess. Lack of consent isn't gross it's fucking outrageous, and punishable, no controversy here, but age does play a part in that too, at 18 lots of girls won't be able to see they're about to be drugged and abused, they're easy preys.

What kind of evidence could the victims bring to court years later exactly? You think they come out to become famous or something?

The fact that similar accusations aren't taken seriously (especially when talking about famous people) is exactly what led to the metoo movement.

[-] Johanno@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

The court actively tried to contact the victims over several countries or anybody who could testify. Except for one witness no one showed up and the one witness only said she doesn't know what happened.

So maybe there is a very safe way to get women to forget everything that happens or he is not guilty.

We aren't rapist apologists. But the investigation was dropped due to a lack of evidence. What else can people do to proof their innocence to people like you?

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Right, because it's easy to prove you've been raped by a rich guy years later đź‘Ť

People in here be acting like getting roofied enhances your memory, they don't remember shit because they were drugged

[-] orrk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

People also acting like a niche influencer doesn't know what happens backstage during these parties. Getting roofied in a bar, taken to the guy's house and fucked? yes, that is rape. knowingly going to a drug orgy and accepting the drugs does somewhat imply consent to be part of a drug orgy.

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

They could have been roofied yeah. Happens sadly at parties. Doesnt mean the band had anything to do with it. Anyways, charges dropped means I consider them not guilty. Everything else would allow accusations alone to destroy lifes even when the accused is not guilty.

[-] justabigemptyhole@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

If I stream Feuer Frei um keinen Preis, is that supporting rape?

[-] disconnectikacio@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, the majority here are who fed up with fake rape charges of #metoo...

[-] InputZero@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

There's one thing that I miss about downloading music and that's knowing that in some cases it's good the artist isn't getting any money. Admittedly I'm happier knowing that most of the artists I listen to get paid now that I stream. I know there's a huge discussion about how artists don't get paid enough and I agree but that's not what I'm talking about.

Like if I downloaded their music, uploaded as little as I possibly could, then listen to it alone and don't share, talk about or popularize their work in any way, am I supporting an artist accused of rape? It's kind of the same argument as 'if a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound' or 'death of the artist.' Now to be frank, there are bands/artists that I don't listen to on streaming services because I know they will benefit from me listening. Rammstien is one of them.

[-] Katrisia@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Apparently, Lemmy doesn't believe the man who writes misogynistic lyrics can be sexist. It's the same all over the internet. Quoting Reddit users:

a) Rammstein’s lyrics can be rather extreme, as they often include rape, incest, death, sex tourism, necrophilia, etc etc. But are they sexist? No I don’t think so.

b) A lot of their songs are out of someone’s perspective. Like Ausländer can be perceived as a sexist song written from a perspective a dude (Till lol) shagging his way around the world and seducing local populace with his foreign allure and hilariously low effort “knowledge of the local language”. [...] On the other hand what the band actually intended to do is criticize colonialism.

One does not need to believe the sexual allegations to see that, still, something's fishy, especially about the lead singer. The lyrics, the orgies, etc. For years, I have disliked songs and interviews because of this, but it all gets the "It's satire" or "It's symbolism" pass.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It's the equivalent of people saying something stupid, arguing about it and when proven wrong they go "I was just acting retarded, you're the one who's dumb for believing it!"
