I'd like to believe that she recognize it as a sign of friendship (nicknames), rather than an insult, which was the reason she never really acted on it despite her protests. If you watched Captain Earth, his teammates completely forego the MC's usual name 'Daichi' and went all out 'Captain~ Captain~' despite him protesting until I'm fed up 'Can you stop calling me that already?'.

I mean sure, when Weiss is stressed out greatly and facing huge trouble, she's liable to explode at her team if they're around and bring this up, with real anger. However, she's liable to bring anything up the table to vent her frustration - if you have known my mum, she can recite literally all of my faults - some of which are completely insignificant - from the moment I was born, raise issues as tiny as 'remember that time you ditched curiculum to play at cyber cafes?' or 'do you remember arguing back with me?' 'do you think I didn't notice your tone?' etc.

Literally, anything, even those things that are supposedly good can be soured by a person venting with uncontrollable frustration. Again, I suppose this is cultural difference, but I honestly have no trouble at all with nickname callings or differential treatment. Weiss literally demands differential treatment from the beginning, and now they're comfortable enough (and also the reason why) to poke fun at her about it now. I don't know about you, but I'm really fine with it.

And Sun is another one who's thick skinned and insensitive. I mean, he outright called out at Blake that White Fang is a cult. We expect that kind of behavior from him.
