Only in your fantasies, Siv.
Let's start with the fact that the drawings in that particular contest don't really interest me. I don't know, maybe I've grown up, or maybe 2D just isn't my thing.
I think I already mentioned that the cuteness of children is comparable to the cuteness of kittens and other adorable animals. Personally, for me, at least. There are cute kids who are just adorable, and then there are just kids. When I see cute kids, it awakens my paternal feelings, thoughts about family, my wife, about how we all go for walks together, and so on. I've actually been thinking about these things even without any external factors. (well, I'm at the right age, I even have an ideal candidate, but it's not meant to be)
In this case (the contest), it just turns out that there are pictures from different categories that can't be compared on a single scale (again, for me), which is why there's a difference in the ratings. And considering the original purpose of the contest, I stick to the rating that seems to be embedded in its essence.
And if you're so concerned about the psychology of voting, it's strange that you didn't start this discussion during the evaluation of the photos with men, but instead didn't write about Nebka's picture, in which some people also saw things that weren't there. But it seems you only wanted to start this conversation after you got upset about the rating of your picture.
