Liking a character because they're a minority is just kinda dumb, so I hope that isn't your reasoning here.

If it's the only reason you like them? Yes, that's silly. But if part of what drew you to them was that they were like you and you were finally getting some representation, I'd say that's a valid reason, assume it's not the only one.

The point I was making was that it depends on what this "hateable" trait is and saying that it shouldn't be a problem in a friendship is a naive take on it at best. If it's something as simple as "I hate how Bob ties his shoes! It drives me up the wall" yes, your point stands. But if it's something like "I hate Susie because she's a lesbian", we've got a problem. Obviously those are extreme examples, but I hope you get my point.

But it's not always so obvious. For example, in The Walking Dead fandom, many people hate Lori and Andrea, and I get it because they are very annoying and don't learn from their mistakes. But the amount of slut-shaming and misogynistic comments that go along with the hate... I get the feeling they wouldn't get half the amount of hate if they were male characters committing the same/similar actions.

Which is why I said those are extreme examples. But when that kind of hate for characters comes out, I think it's perfectly justifiable to not want to be friends with the people doing that. That is what I'm saying here.
