I'd think that would be something they appreciate. Acting is their artform and you want to draw  both positive and negative reactions from people. As long as people are hating or loving characters for the right reasons, I can't imagine they would be bothered by it.

Somewhat related, the love/hate terms are also ambiguous. For example, when I say I love or hate a character, I don't mean that I actually love/hate them. Like, I love the character of Murphy but I really don't think he's that great of a person and has a lot of mental problems to work through. I hate Jaha, but it's more along the lines of a character I love-to-hate. I love Octavia even though she has a tendency to be immature and narrowminded. In the fandom, that somehow seems to get lost. Just because you like/hate a character, it doesn't mean you have to agree/disagree with everything they do.
