I have cooked you a soup

The way he laughs about almost making Till vomit by shoving feathers down his throat makes me shudder. And Till’s statement above about having to do something he didn’t want to do adds to my discomfort. Yes he’s a very large,grown man,but that doesn’t mean that he can’t be coerced/pressured into doing things he’s not entirely comfortable with.

I remember one of the band saying in the making of Mutter that Till didn’t feel able to complain about the filming conditions,having to work in ice cold water,because he was on his own. The situation was similar here,only this time it was because it was a closed set,not because he was the only member in the video.

I mean, if you look at pictures of women crowding his space he looks incredibly off put and then there was that incident in South America where those girls were allowed on stage and crowded around him, pestering him to kiss them and he was very clearly trying to escape, until he finally relented and kissed one on the cheek.

It’s very fucking creepy that this might not all have been planned or wanted on Till’s part. And I’m not saying it’s my place to give input on, it’s really his choice whether or not he considers it rape, but it obviously seems he was pressured into it, and given that he’s been pressured by people before, like those girls on stage, I don’t doubt he would’ve relented again because he doesn’t like being “rude.”

It’s kind of awful how often Till puts his own feelings on the backburner for others.
