I think it's because the two things are unconnected? If you grew up liking the Smurfs and freakin' loving that cartoon and it was everything to you. And then as an adult you find out that someone else hated that cartoon...
Ok?
How does that have any impact on your childhood? You still have every single memory of loving the cartoon. Your childhood is intact. No one is insisting you have to support and take on their opinion as your own. "You hate it? I hate it now too!" but... how does it affect your childhood?

It's sort of implying that someone has such a strong overly emotional reaction to the very thought of someone else liking the idea of Brainy having a crush on Papa Smurf that they literally can't access or enjoy their childhood memories anymore. And that's really not a healthy response to finding out another fan had a different opinion of a show, and sort of indicates a phobia or obsession of some kind.

So that's why people jump to it must be homophobia, because that's not a normal response! A normal response is "Huh, I never saw it that way and doubt I ever will" and then on with your life.
