No, in this case someone (it's unclear who precisely since the linked blog doesn't have an About page) didn't like it. Why? Because using names that don't belong to you is stealing (according to their view). I'm not entirely sure I follow that line of reasoning, but looking at the blog that the ASF linked to which includes lines like:
> But I've got thousands of years of (re)learning to do and will never have the power of the matriarchs, so I follow the lead of the women in my life and do as I'm told.
It's no longer okay to reference or use symbols of other cultures, no matter how innocent or praising of that culture it might be without their permission.
What someone outside the culture thinks is "innocent or praising" might not be seen that way by someone inside the culture. That's why we ask permission.
Dictators and mass murderer roots are not a problem.
For example I don't think there is much fuss about Hugo Boss (Sponsor of the Nazi's, designed and produced the SS uniforms), Volkswagen (car brand literally created by the Nazi's), Porsche (Ferdinand Porsche was a decorated SS officer and Nazi party member) or Ford (Henry Ford was a big fan of the Nazi's and was even decorated by Hitler).

I suspect there's a lot of context that is missing.
