I don't generally use the downvote button to express disagreement, but I do use it to say "Yeah, this is a violation of the rules and not cool and doesn't belong here." And if it's egregious enough, I will flag it. As someone who is a demographic outlier, I'm okay with getting downvotes as part of the feedback mechanism for trying to figure out how to navigate this social space. I think it's problematic to err too far in the direction of "Everyone needs to be nicey-nice to everyone all the time, no matter what they really think or feel about it."
