I've noticed that when people upvote or downvote a picture, some people come up as "hidden".
How do you do this? Does this hidden status continue onto forums, or is it just for voting?

I believe all downvotes are hidden, presumably to protect the downvoter from harassment.
Outside of that, you can change whether your favourites and upvotes are private from the Settings page. Click "Advanced" and change "Private favorites and votes".
Yes, thank you! It worked!

That makes sense, too bad then that it also makes it impossible to determine if the downvotes are because the artwork is "bad" or is it just certain voters regularly downvoting content they don't "like" (cough male focus cough).

Mods and Admins can see all votes, so they can determine that if need be. It also doesn't matter if someone is only downvoting content they don't like because that's exactly what the votes are for. Users can vote however they want as long as they aren't breaking any rules to do it.

If we don't have to explain our upvotes, we shouldn't have to explain our downvotes either. Sloppily-drawn porn gets loads and loads of upvotes all the time, and nobody seems to expect any kind of justification for that.
I'm sorry, but it gets tiresome uploading male focus posts that never get many upvotes (unless they are feminine femboys), but it's more of a rule than exception that they get multiple downvotes (resulting in a negative score). I don't expect anyone who doesn't regularly upload such artworks to care though.
So yeah, sorry for the rant, but this site has always been a pain in the ass regarding male focus works it feels.

Understandable. Unfortunately for you, a large part of Danbooru’s userbase only comes here to look at naked girls. Those users won’t be happy about having naked (and possibly bulky) guys shoved into their faces. I’m guessing that several of them would rather vote everything down instead of trying to figure out how to use the blacklist to hide what they don’t like.
In case anyone is intrigued by that option, start off by adding this to your blacklist:
