    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.
