If they had just said that the dynamics didn't work for them, I think their statement would be fine. I don't think anyone should be forced to read anything they don't enjoy. And I mostly think it's great that everyone has different preferences (I mean, I'd have some problems with people who liked to snuff videos or racist humour, because those have genuine victims, but for the most part, everyone should be free to like what they like).

"Tolerance ≠ acceptance"
Yes. And for the most part tolerating difference without accepting it is kind of bullshit. It's the kind of thinking that leads to a "who you are is fine, as long as you keep it completely hidden, and if you don't I should be free to attack you for it" attitude, which is entitled and offensive and basically anyone who has that attitude can go fuck themselves.

Again, it's partly how it's phrased. "I hate threeway relationships" is more likely to hurt someone's feelings than "I hate reading about threeway relationships" or "I'd hate being in a threeway relationship". Because relationships are often very important to people and make up part of their identity. 'Hate' basically means you either wish something didn't exist or you want it to suffer. If you genuinely mean it when you say you 'hate' all threeway relationships, you're basically hoping everyone currently in a threeway relationship will have a messy breakup. Feeling that kind of ill-will towards other people's happiness just comes across cruel.

You don't have to want to read about every variety of relationship imaginable, but you don't have to be a dick about not liking something either. It's fine to just... not like it. Without hating anyone or telling them they're lying to themselves if they think it's possible for their kind of relationship to ever work.
