Absolutely. Techno was a safe space and you could be as freaky as you want without fear of repercussions.
Can you give an example? It seems like being freaky just means dancing like a crazy person. Hardly much repercussion for that.
As another poster said heavy drug use, but also fetish sex.

I've been to parties that have had signs on the bathroom banning acts that would make a vanilla person blush.

There is a lot of heavy drug use.

And there are areas in Berghain that are more like a sex/fetish club than a night club.

"Se non è vero è ben trovato" but this reddit post [1] does a decent enough job of explaining what's happening there (or what cool people think it might be happening in there). Slightly NSFW text post:

No they can't give an example because it's a safe space
It is, and that's what it's intended as. Some shows in the US do it too. e.g. Lane 8's This Never Happened shows in Oakland. But the most recent version of that had a lot of people complaining that there were lots of phone camera usage, so the sticker thing might not work in some venues.
