I know there are a lot of soft, squishy cowards on this board who take their freedom for granted but I am not one of them. you are either ignorant, or just straight up trash. that's all there is to it. once again, this has nothing to do with morality and everything to do with my personal opinion of you Freedom of speech doesn't apply here, really. It's not as if Blizzard is against the guy saying it and actively trying to censor him through whatever neutral vehicle he wants to use. But when you use their show as a platform for your agenda they should be able to stop you no matter what the message is. Like if some guest were to come into your stream while you're playing some Dark Souls game you hate for the 48th time and preach the virtues of I don't know the KKK you would be justified in removing the content from your channel and never inviting the guy on your stream again. To be clear I disagree with what they did, as it was clearly excessive and caught the casters who deserved nothing as well. But they should have done something about it. A ban from a tournament or two followed by a warning to not do stuff like this in the future would have been more reasonable. But to be clear I also don't think you putting on a show where you blow your reaction out of proportion here in order to virtue signal makes you a better person than me by any measure. Or anyone, for that matter. It's just not something that really should register. You want to claim some sort of objective value as a person over me do something important with your life. Help people with problems in some way, donate to some charities, I don't know, literally anything that actually matters-- posting some random shit on a message board where you express distaste of Blizzard means less than nothing and shouldn't be impressing anyone. --- No problem!
