"blanket censorship and deplatforming"

Maybe the people complaining about this aren't in favor of free speech, they just hate private property.

Just to clarify because it's a tad vague, you support Blizzard's right to both remove a winners players prizemoney and future ability to compete because of one sentence on a livestream?

Or perhaps less inflammatory and antagonistic, would you support private property even if it were levelled against oneself?

I don't subscribe to the idea that property rights are primary and inviolable as the basis of my thinking about what is right and what is wrong.

It's obvious to me that most people do not support private property when it is "levelled against" them.

Property is speech

Tax is theft

Speech is violence

Religion is the smile on a dog

I think you could have some fun with the transitive property with statements like this
