There's been lots of discussion about the unicorn over the years. I haven't ever seen it referred to as a "subtle dislike button" by any of the Dev team though.
Here's Ben commenting on another Devs post with his thoughts on the unicorn and how positive it is.
Unicorns typically represent an especially positive connotation in our industry. Unicorn devs, unicorn companies, it’s the things that are wonderful.
Emoji reactions are always a bit abstract and I made no effort to dictate the purposes.
One thing to note: I’d like to have a longer list of reaction types you can choose from like in Slack, just haven’t gotten around to building that out, or even describing it to others.

Agreed! The unicorn button is my 'super like'. I don't use it often, but when I do, I really love the post.
Totally agree, I've always seen it this way
