If it ends up voted positive, why are we even having this conversation? Are we gonna make a big post whenever someone downvotes something that most people like? This is even worse than people who get downvoted and then complain about persecution or make a big fuss about it.

The community norm isn't about the quality of posts, it's about whether it's fine to downvote things.
