It's a game where people are put in animal masks, chained up, and ridden around naked.

what the studio calls "grotesque, subversive imagery" of a ranch where nude human beings in horse masks are treated as animal livestock.

To pretend that said "grotesque, subversive imagery" is not in this case functioning on it's proximity to sexual degradation, is disingenuous imo. I don't blame Valve for not wanting to wade into an "art vs shock-sploitation" debate.
