No, it's more like liking comedies but disliking slapstick humor or liking romantic movies but hating chick flicks (there is a difference). If you like horror movies but don't like being scared, then that's stupid. But liking horror movies but disliking gore is perfectly reasonable, because there's a large percentage (a lot bigger than 20%) of horror movies that aren't gorey. Psychological horror movies aren't gorey, supernatural horror movies, for the most part, aren't gorey, there are even slasher movies that aren't gorey (Halloween and TCM, although I personally don't count TCM as a slasher, it gets lumped in with them). So it's perfectly reasonable to like horror but not like gore. It's just as reasonable as liking gore.
