Be careful when you notice more diversity in subject matter you're a fan of than in subject matter that you're not. I'm not sure if there's a name for this bias, but there should be.
I would expect this people are just more familiar with what they're a fan of, but it could also be related to outgroup homogeneity bias.
That's definitely it. I suspect it's too much like work for most people to pay attention to the details of things they aren't fond of.

My father disparages all video games as being "little men running around on a screen".
When you do that sort of thing to people, it's called stereotyping of the group you don't like. I don't know of a word for noticing distinctions in the thing or people you do like.
Could it just be characterized as a specific example of the halo effect?
