 yes they are two different meanings for don't like /hate. 
but wording can still go a long way. Cause then ok are you saying that you don't like " in real life gay men and women that are short tops " ? Cause u saying u don't like short tops can come across as a general statement, that's why gay ppl would find it weird if it were to come from a straight person or even a girl that's not straight in general and she's were to just see two gay men find out that one is a short top or even be reading a bl and then they say that they don't like short tops as a girl when bl is portraying the relationship of two men not women so them not liking a short top in a gay relationship that's two men and they are a girl that's werid cause in the first place topping and bottoming for specifically gay men doesn't exist for them to enjoy watching/reading or thinking abt what those irl gay men s** life is like. So for them to say "they don't like short tops" that can come across as them not liking a short tops in general as a girl towards gay men when it has nothing to do with them. That's why I would ask to know, and if they just mean watching/reading then I could understand because that's fine everyone likes a certain dynamic that they enjoy, However from the time they also talk abt how they don't like this certain person asd a short top ( they are literally talking abt a gay man ) that is werid. Cause they don't exist for girls. So yes, yes it is weird when they also mean irl. That's why when they don't mention the reading or watching part I ask and often times they mean gay ppl irl too
