If you want to contribute meaningfully to a conversation, try using your words rather than merely downvoting. You may actually change people's minds that way?

But if you are just trying to emotionally satisfy yourself - nothing at all wrong with self-soothing imho, according to every psychology anything that I have ever heard of - then I suggest merely blocking such people or communities instead.

You have the right to your opinion... but the timing of when and where that must be shared is something that should be considered carefully, no? We do not want to be a community of incels here, where all these "such nice men" shove literally all of their collective and unfiltered thoughts down our throats regardless of consent. I say this as a warning to you: you will get banned that way, from many communities, if you actually practice this and not just talk about it theoretically as we are doing here.

"communication" is a 2-way street, and yes you have the capability to downvote, but also yes they can ban / block too.
