Yeah. Personally, that's why I think femme files get rated almost always higher than diaper files.
I personally vote down things like "That's a waste of his time, because no one but you is interested in that." Namely, files like "fuck zombie", the lovely file that makes you rape people.
Because that's a GOOD IDEA.

Honestly, that was mine. But I didn't intend it to be for public triggering. Mainly a game at home, around a lover that you would trust. Maybe I forgot to mention that. My bad.

Otherwise, I vote against it. That's basic democracy. Only so many files get made, so it makes equal sense to bolster the statistics of files you want and to detract from those you have no use for. It isn't malicious in any way; it is just an attempt from the voter to get the most he or she can out of a system that is ultimately designed to benefit them.

I am going to go ahead and disagree with you.
To me, the word "against" means, well... against. Let's say someone has a jam fetish, and creates an entry that involves having a vivid dream about strawberry jam. Not my thing, but to each his own.
Now, you come along and say, "Not my thing," and click "against."
"Why did you click against? Are you morally opposed to strawberry jam?"
"No, but it's not my thing."
"Are you allergic? Are you afraid that allergic people might listen and have psychosomatic allergy attacks?"
"No, don't be silly."
My point is, I only click against, if I am totally against it. If I think it is dangerous or criminal.
I have no idea why someone would want to be a sycophantic banker, but hey, peoples' fantasies are often very specific, and if someone out there is bored enough to make it, good for them. I am not going to rain on their parade.
When I go to the voting page, the vast majority of the entries are unclicked, because I have no interest in them one way or the other.
When I see a lot of "Against" votes on something I posted, I wonder why. "Why are they opposed to this? It's harmless!"
It doesn't really matter what the terms used are, the fact of the matter is: if rising your desires higher in the "ranking" theoretically increases their chances of coming to fruition, then there is no reason not to downvote files that you don't care to see made one way or the other.

If all voters were expected to vote against all files they chose to not vote for, then we wouldn't need the option to vote against files in the first place...choosing to not vote for a file will ultimately push it down in the rankings.

For this reason, abstaining does nothing to move files down the rankings. Not voting can only move the files up, and like many people have said, without a way to detract from a file's score, the files that will appear to be the "most desired" are the ones that have existed longer, and thus have been able to attract more votes in general.
This is seventh grade math and politics, folks. If you only add, numbers only get bigger. If choosing option A does not discount option B, then there must be an way to discount option B if one so chooses. I don't see where all the confusion is coming from.
