Although downvotes sort out shit art from the rest, facing a bombardment of downvotes is why some artists and rookies avoid this site, even if their skills are satisfactory.
 
So I’d like to know from you fellows, especially other artists: what would you do if your works got a negative score?
 
(Also, I’d like to find a topic on DB where I can ask why are people downvoting any specific artwork I made, e.g. >>2225706 and >>2222081. If downvotes are supposed to force people to improve a specific quality, then I would like the downvoters to tell me what is wrong with my art – is it the Rabydosverse setting, or they just want MLP canon?)

I guess most ppl just downvote on a whim and don’t really care to give proper feedback coz they just specifically don’t like some elements like gay shipping, this particular shipping, depicted theme or overall art quality.
 
possibilities why a picture is downvoted are endless actually, so don’t try to analyze it, just draw what you like, and remember, success isn’t about being the best, it’s about always getting better.
 
if I had this situation, I’d probably put an effort, and draw a picture to show how much I don’t care about downvotes :)

In your case you get downvotes because of obvious extreme roughness of art (and if you’re going for stylistic suck, you need to expect massive downvoting) combined with political content.

Downvotes are good. They mean your art is powerful enough that people are intimidated and butthurt by it. While it can also mean you didn’t tag your upload properly, most downvote babies don’t use the blacklist, preferring to complain about everything that scares them.
 
You should generally take downvotes as encouragement to continue to improve. Eventually the upvotes will always outweigh the downvotes.

Sword what cut both ways.  
I have heard and read lot of times how cute and good the show is but how ugly bunch of assholes are the fandom.  
Maybe they are bullied nerds who read and believe about that “peace love and tolerance” slogans but hit hard by reality that bronies have nothing more than other fandoms with their own bullies, intriques and tired mods.  
I tried couple of times start community here in Estonia, have chat with about dozen people who like and watch the show but almost all of them want to be fans alone and turn upset if i talk them about worldwide community.  
Im a bit worried that the show itself is over and bullies and assholes will kill the fandom.

Yeah, There are people here who have the mentality that they get to be “Content curators”.  
Such people fancy themselves as a type of “Quality Control” Officer and believe that they can keep what they consider to be GOOD content on this site.
 
The the reality is such people are sad, individuals who lack the patience and tenacity it takes to learn how to create or contribute anything. So to protect their egos and further run from the fact that they’re as necessary as screen doors on a fish tank; they must trick themselves into believing that their OPINIONS are a form of talent and what they say matters.
 
Think of it this way.  
The fact that you went out of your way to take the time to sit down, create something with your own two hands from within makes you a bigger and more important contributer than any 1000’s of individuals who’ll downvote ya.

bullies etc can’t kill the fandom because of its decentralized nature, fandom anyway won’t die completely, just evolve into a more passive type.
 
and if there will be some really cool official content in the future, then fandom will reignite with a new mountains of creative might.  
if not, it will just remain its passive state.  
imho of coz, but I see it like this.

Ignore them. And take note of what themes piss off the basic bitches. It doesn’t really matter how many people bomb my art until it hits 50, where it might be hidden. As someone else mentioned if your art manages to get a lot of downvotes it could be because it was well executed controversy.
 
I pay a lot of attention to upvotes and downvotes because the feedback tells me things, but usually it’s that one element set someone off. Having a flag in your image of any kind appears political and many people will downvote it for that based off of pure assumptions.

what would you do if your works got a negative score?
 
Depends if the negative score was expected or not. Some pictures seems to be designed to piss off as much people as possible - probably a way for an artist to get some attention (What’s being worse between being ignored and being downvoted can be debated ‘til the end of times)
 
And in the other case, best thing is to swallow it up and move on, I guess, even if it hurts. That’s still a kind of feedback about what people like, or don’t. Needs to be taken into consideration if you’re actually caring about the picture score…
