Re: It isn't that important, get over it...

Well that's great, and it's what people should do, but this is about why people get so upset when they come across people who disagree with them and feel the need to fight over it.

nayrt

except you're ignoring an important part of it: some people cannot express their disagreement without either implying or straight-up declaring that the person who likes the thing they don't like is less intelligent, less ethical, and generally less worthy than they are. Announcing that you dislike something others enjoy is often used as a way of positioning yourself as a person of superior discernment, above the herd.

I'd say that people feel the need to announce disliking something and trying to place themselves above the heard is largely about needing to preemptively prove themselves right by declaring others to be wrong so they don't need to worry that they might be wrong. Seeing other people choosing differently or having different preferences can be threatening enough even if those people aren't saying anything about being right and other people being wrong. It's all the same thing, only some people lash out without real provocation and other people only react to the ones lashing out.
