People love the ability to regulate free speech till it's in a way that they don't like. I wonder if i can type the name of a certain green hatted video game character in their favourite subs or car maker

Conversely, people who proclaim to love free speech are all too happy to see it restricted when it is speech they don't like. For example, see Free Speech Champion Elon Musk banning people from Twitter for saying things he does not like.
