Do you hate people who hate your favorite anime?

No way!
People are entitled to their opinions and it is quite normal we all don't enjoy the same things in the same way. My experiences have led me to feel fond about some anime, but that doesn't mean everyone should love it.

All I really want is to be respected just like I will respect people's right to their own opinion. Haters that try to force you to adopt their views by intimidating, threatening you if I'd have a beef with them would be because their actions, not because they don't like something I like a lot.

That seems like an unhealthy investment of ego into media.

That's it.

Whether is inflated or you are feeling so insecure, you can't accept people disagreeing without seeing it as a personal attack.

I don't know, but I feel that for a lot of media it is encouraged you have strong feelings. Like, if you don't adore this anime it MUST mean you hate it. It can't just be "okay".

Kaynil More specifically, folks will often make a piece of media into their identity. They don't just like Anime X. Liking Anime X defines who they are to themselves, and thus any criticism of Anime X is interpreted as criticism of the individual.

It's a somewhat understandable bit of foolishness for children, but one should be expected to grow out of that sort of behavior.
