[edit] Wording of Schwuler translation

The wording is fine, Mdd4696. --Der Sporkmeister 01:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

No, i don't think faggot is the correct translation of "Schwuler". Schwuler has much less negative vibe to it compared to faggot. the correct translation would be "gay man"... the german translation of fag would be "homo"

  • the correct word for fag would be "schwuchtel", not homo
  • "Schwuchtel" is the correct translation but clearly the way he screams "Schwuler" and the "aaaaaah" after it has negative connotation so faggot would be apropriate. 87.178.106.199 16:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orientation

"however all band members are heterosexual." Oh yeah, after seeing the video, there can be no doubt about that. Shawnc 02:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

  • you have heard about the concept of acting? you know, all those people in "schindler's list" weren't nazis...

i can see the point of the video and song being also critial of homophobia. why are not people critical of lesbianism as they are of gay men? that demon is the homosexual urge perhaps? being a 100% hetrosexual male i find homophobic men to be extremely annoying also this video did not offend me but i did not find it entertaining eather, bold is what i think of rammstein very bold i have no question, they are hetrosexuals. nude men only make me think of the days of the military showers; the rush in to get hot water before the cold runs out and laughing at the saps that had small williys that waited for everyone to leave so they could shower alone, in cold to room temp water.

I guess this song is the ultimate argument to say that Rammstein is not a nazi band at all. The idea, the lyrics, everything is good about the song. The clip is funny, even if it could have been better if it was rather denouncing. --DarkJin 22:40, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

At first, I thought that this song was hostile against homosexuality, and I´m still not totally sure about it, but I think, I was (moreless) wrong. And Rammstein aren´t Nazis, in my opinion. (Sorry, if there are grammar mistakes, my mother toungue is German). --195.3.113.55 10:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I'm quite sure this song is not hostile at all against homosexuality. When Paul Landers was interviewed about the album, he said something like "Mann gegen Mann" was made to make German people more openmind. And it is not an opinion that Rammstein are Nazis or not, it is just a f***ing rumor, let's not mind it. And... about your English... I can't judge you, it's not my first language either, as I'm from France. :-) --DarkJin 18:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I just laugh at this whole thing, i kinda just think its a joke honestly. i wonder what those columbine kids would do if they were still alive and they saw this...

[edit] Okay

Firstly, the band members are all straight..secondly, im not sure on the bandmembers, but the so called mass of naked bodybuilders...they arent all naked, at least 3 are wearing some form of underwear..maybe someone would like the change the description of the video? (btw..the song is one of their best ever) Fethroesforia 01:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
