In 2019, the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club sued Redbubble in the Federal Court of Australia for infringing on its trademark. In 2012 the Los Angeles Times reported that due to outrage over the death of Trayvon Martin, artists on Redbubble were offering a hoodie with a version of a 'Neighborhood Watch' sign, which warns, darkly, 'We immediately murder all suspicious persons'. Īccording to a 9 September 2011 article in the Herald Sun more than 100 children's items remained on sale, some with ' four-letter swear words' and drug images.

On 12 and 15 June 2011 articles by digital media company Ninemsn and news web site .nz reported that artists on Redbubble were selling baby clothes featuring pictures of Hitler, Osama bin Laden and serial killers Ivan Milat, Ted Bundy and Charles Manson. Hosking's decision to pull Hipster Hitler's line was applauded by the Simon Wiesenthal Center as being responsive to both artists and the Jewish community. At the same time he said it was hard to take a nuanced approach to removing Hipster Hitler merchandise due to the nature of the controversy. Such a statement does not appear literally or clearly semantically in Redbubble's community guidelines.

Three weeks later on 5 June 2011, The Age reported that Hosking, who had originally defended the work as free speech, removed the entire Hipster Hitler merchandise line and said the guidelines would be changed to 'prohibit parodies of genocide and the Holocaust, as well as other material likely to cause deep offence'. Both Redbubble's CEO, Martin Hosking, and the head of B'nai B'rith's Anti Defamation Commission recognized Hipster Hitler as parody but noted that it was being misunderstood – this was due in part to the limited context of the merchandise and stories that some hate groups had allegedly praised Hipster Hitler – and discussed how best to deal with such work. In May 2011 Arnold Bloch Leibler, a law firm with connections to the Australian Jewish community, severed their business relationship with Redbubble for 'promoting Nazism'. Some Redbubble users perceived the comic and its products as antisemitic, pressuring PayPal to investigate whether it violated their policy. In June 2011, The Register and The Age reported that artists on Redbubble were offering T-shirts images taken from the satirical online comic strip Hipster Hitler.

In October 2018, Redbubble acquired US-based TeePublic for A$57.7 million. COO Barry Newstead, who has been with the company since 2013, would take over as CEO in August 2018. In June 2018, it was announced that Hosking would be stepping down as CEO. In the last ten years, almost 7 million people have bought products from the site, generating $70 million earned by artists. In January 2017, Hosking reported 450,000 active artists and 10 million site visits per month. The company was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in May 2016. The purpose of the program is to enable selected artists with the opportunity to produce artwork at Redbubble artist studio while collaborating with other artists. Since February 2015, Redbubble has been running an artist residency program at their Melbourne office. In 2015, Redbubble raised A$15.5 million in funding from various investors including Melbourne-based Acorn Capital and London based investor Piton Capital. At the time it was estimated that eight million unique viewers visited the site every month. In March 2014, it was reported that 51,900 artists have successfully sold their creations on Redbubble generating more than A$15 million in earnings. On 16 June 2011, Hosking left his position at Aconex to focus on his job as CEO of Redbubble. The company was founded in 2006 by Martin Hosking, Peter Styles, and Paul Vanzella after raising $2 million in investor capital.
