I don't have any context for Patreon's move here. Does anyone know the back story? What the guy said sounds douchey, dimwitted and racist...

But here's another case for decentralization of monetization. I don't care whether someone says something offensive or not...if Bob wants to donate money to Alice, that's their right. They shouldn't have to go through Patreon or PayPal or any other centralized service. And Alice shouldn't have to fear getting on some PC movement's bad side.

The irony is that if you use Patreon's search functionality to search for slurs and other hate speech you will find plenty more blatant and obvious instances on their own platform.

He is an infamous provocateur. I'm pretty sure this is the real reason why he was banned:

Attending a con doesn't strike me as that provocative, honestly. (I do agree that he's kind of a dick, don't get me wrong. Just not in that particular incident so much).
