Contrarily to what you might think, not everyone downvotes because of disliking the actual art content depicted. My reasons for downvoting an image like this personally is the low-quality format it's being saved at and uploaded. I don't even have to zoom in to see all the obvious jpeg artifacts pretty much everywhere. It's actually against the uploading policy to not meet the quality standard for uploads on e6ai, you should read that. Highly, badly compressed jpegs would be good enough for twitter or other social medias where every art gets put through their compression algorithm and every art piece loses quality anyway, but archiving services aims to retain the best quality format possible.

With all the AI tools available for generating, upscaling, img2img, hi-res fix, inpainting, there's no excuse for uploading a badly compressed version of the generated image on here.

Also, low-effort tagging is really annoying to some user. I actually have 'gun' in my blacklist for a reason. Don't need to see, don't care. Yet I keep seeing them because you don't take the minimum effort of tagging your content appropriately and thoroughly. When you don't do that, you're just inviting people to see content they don't wanna see and downvote them. I shouldn't have to manually edit every post by adding tags that I don't wanna see to finally have a good browsing experience on e6ai.
