Enthusiasm is important, but being champion requires a great deal of skill as well.

My ability to downvote posts in a community should not depend on the mod of that community being ok with it. "This is my community, and I don't want downvotes" would only be an acceptable attitude if seeing the community at all was opt-in, but it's not. Everyone sees everything unless they've already blocked the community or user.
Thankfully it's easier to block a user than it is to create an account.
After I participated in the other thread, I thought of a couple more scenarios where downvoting is useful:
- "this post is low effort"
Downvoting is a useful feedback tool to say hey OP, I have given your post an amount of my time that your low effort post did not earn. Try harder next time.
- "we don't need yet another community for this topic"
If a person creates a new community for a topic that already has one (or more), to get around the community blocks that users have already put up, that's functionally very similar to ban evasion. I'm tired of blocking repeat communities. If I see a person make a new community for a topic that is practically identical to one that exists, a downvote is warranted.
I'm not telling you my opinion should overrule the other arguments here, but it's better to have all sides present so it's not just an echo chamber.
"due to of"
Yes I like having downvotes. I use downvotes to notice trends of spam so I can better identify who to report/block.
That site sabotages the back button, fyi.
ALSO the downvote disabling feature never worked as intended. It only blocks lemmynsfw accounts from downvoting anything, lemmynsfw or otherwise. THIS account could already downvote anything federated.
What the hell happened to this comic
A coupe huh
No, I replied to the right person. When you call proportions that exist unrealistic, you are calling the people who have them fake, so you deserved some light ribbing.
"This body is unattainable for me personally, thus it is unrealistic on others in media" ok buddy
Its* native peoples
"It's" means "it is"
