Voting on comments and posts should always be free. Ne exceptions.

Putting any kind of restrictions on voting is taking us farther and farther towards full-blown authoritarianism.

You have the freedom to leave.

You stop using the site when the mods act like this. That is the answer because to them they don't need you. You don't like it then the website wasn't made for you then and you can leave. Products/services are not made to cater to the customer, according to some schools of thought, and actively court you into quitting if you disagree. This is the result.

I know you think like this and predicted this days ago. This site has the freedom to become a living joke like that of deviantart, too.

You've had this account for two years, and your only activity in all that time are the two posts in this thread.

You're someone's alt, ain'cha?

Putting aside that in this case the customer is advertisers ^{(Hi admins if you're reading this I want to turn off my adblocker again but I'm not comfortable seeing the human-only hentai game ads you've been running.)}
It's not really a stretch to assume that when administration has the choice between one category of users being uncomfortable, or making another category of users uncomfortable, they'll go for appeasing the group they're more comfortable keeping around. That said, I think there's a lot that indicates that admin wants to have as little as possible to deal with, and they're not afraid of overreaching usual procedure to dissuade behaviour they dislike.^{(Compare when they were going so hard on the two big gender tagging dramas} _{following the characters and pre-emptively locking tags} ^{that at one point both Tsampikos and Whygena pulled their art down, and the refusal to allow JasonAfex and Kabier back.)}
I think it's fairly clear that what gets admin attention is when drama is active/high-traffic and provocative. I mean the creepy/roleplay comment rules only apply to comments that are quickly seen by somebody who is uncomfortable with them.
