It is only considered vote kick abuse when the reason for kicking somebody is to harass them, as in, kicking them in front of the last boss out of spite to keep them from getting their dungeon clear, or kicking them before a treasure chest to cheat them out of their rightful chance at loot.
Vote kicking has the following options: Harassment, AFK, Offline, and cheating (i believe)
If it's not for one of those specified reasons, you can petition. If they had a problem with you watching cutscenes, then they should SAY something. If they votekick you, THEY are violating the rules since it's abuse of the votekick feature.
