Something like 5% of the human race has neanderthal DNA traces in their genome, so no that is not an accurate statement.

Amazing that all 5% are on these forums.

Being disgusted by furry art is Normal Person behaviour.

Is there more to this that I'm missing? It seems like an odd thing to take mod action over.

Society where disparate groups of people exist and tolerate each other.
Normal or Abnormal'; it is not a work-camp, it is not a barracks, it's a society.
"in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance" - Karl Popper

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
"The paradox of tolerance states that if a society's practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them. Karl Popper describes the paradox as arising from the fact that, in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance"

It is not a work-camp, it is not a barracks, only "intolerance" will not be tolerated.

That's a fat non sequiter. The mod action isn't targeting intolerance: it's targeting preferences, and favouring others. In this case, it's favouring an art style that is expressing a sexual fetish.

Helldivers 2 is intended for a mature audience, so anybody should expect to see themes along those lines. If 'anything goes' though, there's a responsibility on who decides that to answer the obvious questions: how are participants informed beforehand, what legality the space is willing or unwilling to cross, and to explain inconsistencies.

Art is not art if it can not be criticised, because art that criticises other art is explicitly excluded.

Art can be inaccurate, it often is. Art can be political, it must. Art can be controversial, it has every right. To be any of these, art must be open to discussion, critique, reaction and scorn.

What art can not ever be is dishonest: even lies must reveal a truth, and this is the one case where I do not accept an expression is art.

If an expression is uniquely protected from people that might despise it, it's not art. The right to free expression wasn't invented to protect ideas, it was invented to protect people so that ideas could be freely shared and responded to.

People responding with disgust doesn't stop the art being made or shared. The reaction I'm reading about by the Discord moderation is one of hypocrisy, and an unspoken realisation that their preferences go beyond the pale of taste for Normal People.
