Because books.
People were expressing disappointment that Tor and Subterranean Press had chosen to publish it, and this one person is convinced that therefore SubPress is being oppressed. Their rights to free speech are being chilled.
If they're publishing it, how is their right to free speech being oppressed?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Go Sparky!

Because they'll be reluctant to publish "challenging" work in the future. That's the argument, anyway.
That this is a natural consequence of anyone saying anything in public (or publishing anything, same diff) just doesn't appear to sink in.
I don't rant about the pefidious Republicans (much) on my LJ because I don't really want to moderate a contentious political argument in the comments. That doesn't mean I'm being oppressed, it means I've calculated the cost-benefit analysis of saying the Republicans are poopyheads.
