Given some of the chatter elsewhere that brought up the Hamlet origin of TLK itself I think it's worth pointing out that this is another vector for fans to divide themselves.
Not everybody loves Disney movies as a whole, I'd consider myself one of them to a degree though hatred doesn't really enter into the picture either. This doesn't mean that those people can't like TLK, Shakespearean tragedies have a time-tested appeal after all and usually there's not a lot of overlap between this and Disney, TLK being an exception. We shouldn't run from this reality or ignore it, TLK had such appeal exactly because it drew in people that wouldn't otherwise be interested, but this does mean that you're going to have a fanbase with a broader set of tastes and thus differences in taste.
Of course none of this excuses one side or another mocking folks for having a different taste in movies and stories, our gothprincess likes her medieval themed stories to involve princesses and the like, I like GoT, neither of our tastes are more or less valid then the other. Neither is there any 'standard' that one must meet to be a 'real' TLK fan, one can like and dislike any portion of it really and still consider themselves and be considered a fan. Just like as a Homeworld fan I can have serious issues with the mysticizing of the hyperspace cores.
