Ciencia told them to shove off with local backing. If the “side” the community chose is ambiguous (which you seem to imply it is), then Staff should’ve instead set up an actual vote wherein they could find out just that, or ask other local administrators to do the same. Then, if they had an unequivocal mandate beyond a shadow of a doubt, that’d be perfectly understandable for them to fire the bureaucrat; they’d be doing it because the Bureaucrat was going against the Community’s wishes, & be fully justified. As it stands though, they did it because it went against Fandom’s wishes, in direct opposition to the leader of that community, when for half a decade it used to be “Fandoms are ruled by their Communities”. If that’s no longer the case then fine, just go out & say it honestly, but this skulduggery & hypocrisy is just low.
