They weren't that unhappy to be associated with the community. They still cashed in their page views for advertising money. The double standard is treating the advertising revenue different from the licensing revenue on the same content. |

If I were to navigate to a sub-forum /on/ Reddit for a controversial topic it would not surprise me to see some Reddit IP involved in the theme/art; it's a recognition of the underlying platform and the context of the speech makes it feel more like the community using it is paying respect to the platform than the platform overtly supporting/endorsing that community.
When you see the logo on actual items outside of that platform the context has shifted. Now it's a holster, tee-shirt, or something else that is advertising an association between the groups; maybe without even a contextual link to where the sub-forum is.
The context changes the perception of what is being said even with the exact same work.
