Staff aren't necessarily making the choices people think; they may not even have a choice at all:
* With respect to art, it doesn't have to be a choice between Nazis and anti-fascists; rather, freedom vs. censorship. Staff who disapprove of Nazi-related content may yet permit it because they set a higher priority on artistic freedom.
* The staff members responsible for enforcing a policy are not necessarily the ones with authority to change it.

Alas, those who count themselves as Righteous amongst the Furries rarely appreciate provisions designed with an eye to preserving artistic freedom or open discussion – that is, until their own material lands on the chopping block.

I don't know how much freedom FA staff have in interpreting policy. Often there's a hierarchy, with those higher up having greater input into and ability to interpret the rules, subject to correction by the owner's ultimate authority (who may in turn be constrained by laws in the jurisdictions which they operate; or hosting, payment or advertising contracts they have entered into).

One person handling a lot of related cases is to be expected; FA has relatively few high-level staff, and they get all the tough cases. They might similarly be deemed pro/anti-cub if responsible for enforcing those areas of a FA provisions, with no greater justice.
