You'll never have to justify why you don't like Gwen, at least, to me.
I can understand both sides of the coin - there's a character in one of my fandoms who I could quite happily watch DIAF, kthnxbai - and I have received some serious hate-email because I dislike him so much. *shrugs* if we all liked the same characters/things/foods/places, the world would be an incredibly boring, boring place. - BUT, my "character hate" does not, and will never, flow over into the Real World... ever. Recently saw some mega-Ianto/GDL bashing that made me feel quite ashamed for the people who wrote it...
I like Gwen - she's not my favourite character, and she's not the one I identify with the most (hello Tosh and Ianto!), but that doesn't mean I'm going to "unfriend" or ball out anyone who doesn't like her.
