Sorry if I was ambiguous - it was me that received a spectacular number of downvotes for a comment that I’d not think controversial in any way, and then realised that I might as well ignore all that because it doesn’t matter here.

There’s a few arseholes running bots that seem to downvote every post on a topic sometimes. Don’t let that get you down - no point putting more thought into it than they did. Your opinion matters, dude (-ette), don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
