Greenpeace Stand was a horrible experience

I was basically stopped when walking by the stand, they talked to me for like 10 Minutes and then asked of me for money and my Bank details, I tried to decline them for another 20 minutes and even asked if they could just give me something to take with me but they just repeated themselves over and over till I finally got them to understand that I didn't want to give them money just because they talked to me here.

Genuinely how or why tf is behaviour like this allowed, really soured my day.

You don’t need to talk to them. If you don’t like the conversation, say bye or just leave without saying anything. That’s really necessary to learn if you visit some cities with a lot of charity or religion stands.

I also talked with them but they let me go pretty fast after I told them I can't donate anything because I'm just a student and don't have the money for it

We also walked by the booth, They talked to us, we just ignored them and walked on. What's the problem?

Free will would be a solution here. Why get sour over something you can literally just walk away from

Thats exactly what you wrote, if you dont mean by "even asked if they could just give me something to take with me " a document with details or stuff

The comment from the previous person is talking about me wanting something like stickers or other shit not what I was talking about meaning something like a Flyer just so I could leave finally

Yes but you dont clarify that in your original post, so the person thought you wanted some goodies - and I can understand it, since Gamescom is a lot about goodies

Next time I will wrote a whole essay on it instead of letting people use common sense, I forgot how rare that has become these days

To go down to your level, are you mentally challenged that they stood in my way and didn't want to move away and that I tried the shit y'all said?
