    The shirt itself:

    I’m not sure why anyone would want one except to be an edgelord but there’s nothing obviously offensive on it.

      They released shirts of every Olympics…

      The fact that the one drawing controversy sold out isn’t shocking, it’s not just edgelords and fascists buying it, “collectors”/scalpers are gonna be buying them up to flip as well.

      It’s a feedback loop, the more the media makes a big deal and ignores all the context, the more demand there would be for it.

        I don’t think it was strange for them to offer that shirt for sale, especially since they seem to have a print-on-demand system which does not involve any overhead for having an additional design. Offering the shirt is IMO less awkward that trying to pretend that Nazi Germany never existed.
