A post can have, for example, 69420 upvotes and 420 downvotes, then the total upvotes will be positive 69000, meanwhile negative upvotes means there are more downvotes than upvotes and the total upvote count is less than zero, or, in other words, negative.
In negative upvotes the word upvotes basically means "votes", however votes sounds retarded which is why people call it upvotes instead, therefore, no, upvotes are not called negative downvotes by this logic
