I can guarantee you Blizzard would not have handed out the same punishment if he went on a tangent about his cooking blog or whatever

Using a brand's platform to say something that will upset a lot of people is a bit different than a cooking blog. A better comparison I suppose would be using a string of foul language (depending on the brand's image), racial slurs, stripping naked live, making threats against someone, etc.

"I support protests, but only if they're off in the corner where I can't see them."

Better not interrupt my video games! (Edit: better not interrupt my football!)

I think waking people up from escapism is the exact purpose of protest

I mean, sure, nothing's stopping people from protesting when they want. They just shouldn't be surprised when they suffer the consequences for doing it in an inappropriate situation. They just need to weigh what outcome is more important to them. For this Hearthstone player, perhaps this was the more important result. I just don't think a lot of people understand how a company is supposed to function if you are expecting them to bend over backwards for everyone who has an opinion they want to make public.
