Topic: Pointlessness of downvoting

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

I'm gonna be up front, I can respect that people don't like certain content, that's what the blacklist should help with, however, I've noticed the only images that receive downvotes are images involving more taboo kinks, and while I can respect not everyone likes certain types of content, I don't see the down vote button having any use outside criticizing or punishing people posting niche fetish content. Can't really downvote an image with poor quality because for the most part the bad images are removed because of quality, and the people posting this type of thing already know its more a specific kink. So the downvoting doesn't accomplish anything really. I dunno, it's all just an observation,

e6 sites maintain the philosphy that a conformist mob should always be able to downvote an unpopular post or comment into literal obscurity.

Besides, some people get confused when they don't have a measure of how bad a piece of art or someone's opinion is, and are forced, without guidance, to judge for themselves.

I do understand the fairness of the circumstance, and in most situations, I would be perfectly fine with this idea, however, that doesn't change the statement I made, all its doing is attacking people with a harmless fetish,
(I'd be fine if it targeted a fetish that was dangerous or bad like anything underage, ...which is the only fetish in a fictitious sense that seems wrong. But it's attacking people who have fetishes like gore, abdl,(which to clarify is an adult fetish, not related to doing anything with people underaged, scat, watersports...etc, which are just personal preferences for a niche group and the people posting these things are targeting their work to the people who enjoy it.

I do want to note, I'm not arguing with the philosophy, I agree art should be judged by quality, but the standard of quality, where your picking out minute details on the ai works, mean that bad art is already removed, which seems like enough of a downvote, I do believe in free speech, I do believe in freedom of opinion, and that some people have a mislead opinion, I may be in the wrong here, but, I kinda wish there was a feature that I dunno, lets say a feature that lets you share an f-list or something on the page and the site would use that list to pick out pics matching your kinks, and it ignores downvotes if per say you don't like a certain kink, that way art is being judged based on quality instead of if the person doesn't wanna see a diaper.

The practice e6AI users have of downvoting diaper content they could easily blacklist but choose not to is a petty, spite-driven annoyance.

I'm certain there is other fetish content that receives the same treatment.

Unless it will affect your ability to upload or use the site, it is probably best to ignore it and focus on the upvotes and favorites count.

That's fair enough, and true, thanks, that does make me feel a bit better,

It will be hard to understand each other. I don’t like your content (nothing downvoted, just skipped) and you will dislike what I like in favorites and what I uploaded. It shows at least that content is too extreme for most of users. So, if you really care about rating you should stop doing this or don’t care about it and continue making sure it doesn't break the rules. I don’t know will it affects upload limit (but in the formula you can notice that rating doesn't count), but some weird content like this also approved (don’t open if you are not ready) https://e6ai.net/posts/15347?q=vomit , so I don’t think it should be a problem. In terms of drawing quality your generated pictures looks good.

Updated

So, your images have been approved except one where you can identify it as children. You are not alone with downvoting because I think my content that I uploaded can be too extreme to for users. Mostly I don’t generate cute images and prefer rougher content, but not too rough (like blood, violence, gore), so my images stands out sharply versus other posts.
