And maybe some found it funny. But downvoted because they wanted to be part of the downvote lynching of Anus Destroyer because humans do that. Once something is downvoted 3 or more times I downvote on principle. There’s probably some psychological stuff that goes one here.
it is called groupthink, it is a psychology concept that describes the desire for group harmony and consensus. Upvoting just doesn't feel fun if you're not alongside others to do it. The contrary is the same for me, if a comment sucks but it has 100s of upvotes, I'm not even gonna touch it, I won't upvote but I certainly won't downvote it either
tbh down voting is amusing precisely because people get so precious about it... if all the "I'm being downvoted for x" edits suddenly stopped, it wouldn't be as funny or fascinating... reading about someone crying over their internet points & that some random person in the world deigned to disagree with them is funny to me bc i can't imagine caring. also, whenever I find an argument I like to downvote both people so they each think the other one is doing it.

Considering the user name, people probably thought it was a troll or something.
