I don't think your interpretation of the downvotes is correct.

I cannot see the original comment, because it appears as [flagged], but I can imagine that it is quite non-mainstream. I do not see why it would need to be censored. It probably makes sense in one way or the other, without therefore being particularly popular. But then again, comments that are mainstream and popular are utterly useless and usually very unintelligent. It also shows why "voting" does not work. It will always turn into a dictatorship of the mediocre average.

You should probably read the comment before you talk about it. To read [dead] comments you go to your profile, and set the [showdead] toggle.
