The truth is people believing in big blocks were the majority of the original Bitcoin BTC community. Polls on bitcointalk.org showed support for big block plans like BIP101 at over 80%. However, not everyone was the same in terms of passion and purity for the original big-block vision outlined by Satoshi. So when the network split between different big-block and small-block ideologies happened, August 1, 2017 when BCH forked, only a handful of the most passionate big-block supporters went and became the Bitcoin Cash community. The rest just remained with BTC and the most passionate small-blockers, on censored discussion areas.
As for the "hate" you talk about that's an interesting story. Imagine a thief robbing your house then being furious at you in court. That's essentially how small-blockers behave toward big-blockers. Their version of BTC is not how the inventor, Satoshi Nakamoto, intended it to be. They won't deny this. So how can they be so angry? I think it's because they know deep down they're on the wrong side of things, and they lash out angrily similar to a child throwing a tantrum. Bitcoin Cash supporters don't exactly love small-blockers, and we're certainly angry they refused to compromise and work with us to carry BTC forward in line with the original plan, but we don't trash talk them. We don't call BTC a "shitcoin". We say if their plan really is best then let it be proven in the marketplace. That seems logical and fair. Yet small-blockers hang around the big-blocker discussion areas talking trash when we don't do the same in return. That should make people think.
Last, regarding your question "I'm invested in both. Am I a bad person?" the answer is that's absolutely fine. Big-blockers believe in freedom of choice. If people don't mind paying high fees and want to use BTC that's absolutely fine. We don't get mad about that. On the other hand, people that choose BCH get harassed by small-blockers. Again, something to think about.
