Often there are multiple ways to interpret a poster’s intentions, and if you see a heavily downvoted comment you will automatically assume the worst.

yup, but it should also come as no surprise to most people with more than about, 3 iq. That the votes on a post mean almost nothing other than "what other people thought about it" because other people are known to have very reasonable and normal opinions en masse.
