For evidence you're right: see the downvotes on this comment. I've seen so many things downvoted that didn't deserve it. People can misunderstand your comment and suddenly you're at -20. Just a couple days ago this toxic fuck was telling me all sorts of weird things they claimed to know about me because I was downvoted for an opinion I wouldn't have thought was unpopular at all. A couple people misunderstood, then a bunch more saw the downvotes and made false assumptions. It's bizarre.
It is what it is! I don’t even see downvotes on my end but not surprised it happened. It’s magic internet points so whatever lol
