The possession of a platform to express visceral dislike/fear of a marginalised group or individual without being challenged
Germaine Greer has been denied her right to free speech by being denied a platform to express transphobia

the equal and opposite side of the Social Justice Warrior coin. Where the SJW will use the guise of social justice and progressive politics to silence right wing opinions and promote division, the FSW will use the guise of "protecting free speech" to silence left wing opinons and promote division.
"Richard went to that right wing protest and started chanting about jews and faggots replacing him, he must be one of those Free Speech Warriors."
"That Free Speech Warrior publicly called for journalists to be shot, but after that happened he said it was just a joke and he was exercising his rights!"

A person who is obsessed with freedom of speech and will flaunt it in any way possible, yet ironically knows very little about the concept. In effect, someone who constantly tries to excuse douchebaggery by hiding behind their highly flawed understanding of free speech. Essentially they are like SJWs except their crusade centres around a warped view of free speech (instead of social justice) and their views tend to be right wing.
Free speech warriors tend to understand "freedom of speech" as "the obligation for others to listen to what I say and not be offended by or criticize it, except when I find it objectionable". Anyone who criticizes, takes offense or otherwise takes exception to speech that they don't personally feel affected by is engaging in "censorship" and hates free speech.
In practise, however, a free speech warrior often only cares about free speech when it agrees with them or if it doesn't affect them, and their defense of free speech may break down when met with opinions that they find to be highly objectionable. They will throw their crusade for free speech out the window and advocate or condone what they previously considered censorship for these views. They may even falsely invoke well-accepted exceptions (ex. inciting violence) to free speech when this happens.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! AHA! He said this! He said he was that! He banned people immediately! For doing the thing that he is an absolutist about! HA! That’s hilarious! That’s a hilarious thing to do! That’s sounds like something I would do! And I’m evil! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You hear the Prophet Lord Dr. Professor Jordan Beatrice Peterson (leave be upon him) say that he wants to collude with the government officials he knows personally to create an online facsimile of hell for people who do don’t keep their speech within the confines of his conceptualization of “acceptable discourse”!? I guess the red skull guy was right about him being the type of guy who would collude with the government to silence dissidents, huh? That is wild! That is wild my guy! Look at these sorry sacks of shit!
Elon Musk “I’m a free speech absolutist!”
Elon Musk “And I’m Elon Musk! I gave my child a retarded name because I’m a solipsistic who things I’m living in a simulation created explicitly for me! Nothing I do matters because nothing is real (except me)! I like to fuck people’s wives on a bed of my fathers emeralds! Like that scene from the Pierce Brosnen (Bronson? Bronsen?) James Bond movie where he does that... except with emeralds instead of diamonds!”
Elon Musk “Shit, hey, I’m Elon Musk too! Look at me!”
Elon Musk “Parody” “Hey, I’m following the rules! Oh? I’m banned anyways? Aw, that’s no fun. The freeze peach isn’t very absolute here.”

A situation in when a person comments on another person's comment/opinion/statement/sentence and that other person claims they "have free speech and a right to an opinion" but then makes a biased claim stating that because of their free speech rights, that person should respect and not make comments about their comment/opinion/statement/sentence. Little does that person know is that Free Speech is a double standard.
Person 1: "I don't like black people."
Person 2: "Well I don't like you and I think your opinion sucks."
Person 1: "Hey this is America! I have free speech so shut up you asshole!"
Person 2: "Here we go again, The Free Speech Maneuver..."
Person 2: "Well I don't like you and I think your opinion sucks."
Person 1: "Hey this is America! I have free speech so shut up you asshole!"

The correct term is "Speech Absolutist but", usually found in the profile of people who think any opinion they disagree with should be banned and the speaker should be hanged.
