Is it rude to interrogate downvoters? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I'm very curious about the reasoning different people use when deciding to downvote a post or comment. Often, when something gets "heavily" downvoted, the OP will ask some variation of "why the downvotes?". This is sometimes answered with sincere criticism, but sometimes is received even more poorly than the original offending post.

Do you downvote people who ask "why the downvotes?"? What informs the decision?

Yeah, I usually downvote anyone complaining about downvotes, even if I agree with their general point.
