or (1) you can think for a few seconds before give score to something mediocre (2) keep saying it’s good no matter the facts. But fine you can up-fave trash and I’ll keep tantrum about it deal? deal.
 
01 the quality of the art is very subjective.
 
02 let people do whatever they want as long as they didn’t break any rules in derpibooru.
 
03 Get over it, it will gone in a few day.

You keep calling this “mediocre” and “trash”, yet you claim to have faved the artist’s work “many times”. Is this really that much worse than what you’ve faved?

“Coco-obsession”? You think I was using “uber-moe waifu” as a term of praise, rather than a rueful observation of her popularity in the fandom? (I mean, I like her, but sheesh, I get the feeling she’s more beloved in the fandom than half the main characters.)
 
As for any drawing of her getting upvoted like crazy regardless of how awful it is, how about >>620535 or >>1024712 or >>653165?
 
The voting system on Derpibooru, such as it is, isn’t very fine-grained. There’s four options: favorite, upvote, nothing, and downvote. That doesn’t leave room for distinguishing between “I really like this, even though it’s pretty simple and basic” and “Great googly moogly, this is awesome!”. So yeah, a drawing like this that appeals to everyone with artist:lumineko, coco pommel, and cute in their watchlists is going to draw a lot of upvotes, putting it on the front page where it can get more upvotes, while a really intricate, scenery porn-type drawing by a less-prolific artist with a minor background pony will never get the attention it needs to get a comparable number of upvotes. That’s just the way it is.

People like it because it’s a cute picture (1) of a popular character (2) in a vulnerable situation (3), just like #36F7 said. This has been explained to you. If you think it’s overrated, that’s fine, but don’t antagonize people who do like it and have upvoted it.

@ETech  
The pic isn’t that bad (even when it looks like a sketch over a screen cap) but don’t deserves those over-rated numbers, plain truth.

This picture looks absolutely fine to me. You want sketchy and unfinished-looking, look at my art.

@Background Pony #36F7  
pffft calm down you coco-obsession, the pic its just a redraw of a scene rushed and little stylized, I understand Lumi isn’t the super-detail sort artist, that’s ok I have faved his work many times too, but it’s just dumb the fact people fave so much a low quality pic like this just because coco is on it, it could be made of shit and vomit and you still fave it just because coco is in the pic. And no I don’t hate coco, but up-fave idiotically it’s just annoying.
Background Pony #392C
it looks sketchy and unfinished
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
 
Yeah, it’s getting upvoted and faved into the stratosphere because it’s the uber-moe waifu being all sick and in need of pampering, which is pretty much the perfect storm of brony bait, but it’s a nicely done, cute drawing that effectively uses a slightly rough, sketchy style to enliven a simple portrait. It’s not really that different from the similarly-skillful drawings that rocket to the top of the three-day scoring display because bronies watch it for the plot.
Background Pony #A778
I don’t understand what’s so special about this pic it looks sketchy and unfinished, but hey it’s coco pommel I must fave :/

Lesse… We’ve seen her as a filly (kid points), we’ve seen her been clumsy and we’ve now seen her sick.
 
All we need is eye shimmering crying. That’s the final moe stop.

Probably the same instinct that drives many to irrationally defend the weak or helpless.
 
Personally, I suspect it’s largely derived from the primal instincts that encourages us to preserve our species, which includes helping a sick individual recover faster. Plus, by helping a vulnerable individual, others will be more likely to perceive the helper as ‘friend’ or ‘ally’, thus improving the helper’s odds of survival, since they’ll make less enemies this way.
 
It makes sense to me, at any rate.

@PlatinRosen  
I think it just elicits an innate response where you end up wanting to care for a poor, sick creature.  
Probably a lot of psychology behind this.

Oh poor coco, you are sick. Well i think i know somepony who can rescue you.
 
i’d much rather be sick…
