More on weaboos: most everything I've seen on the subject was usually ironic or mocking those types of people, so I wonder how my anecdotal evidence stacks up to the real world.

I'll preface this by saying that I think the dude is an embarrassment to philosophy and journalism alike. I would say that he is definitely a free speech advocate because (1) the dude absolutely never shuts up about it and (2) one of his big talking points is the idea that any type of speech should be allowed, no matter how awful or how wrong it might be. None of those things that you listed in the rest of your post really conflict with free speech specifically, though I do understand how he's a huge hypocrite.
