It doesn't make any sense to say someone "hates dubs." All animation is dubbed. From the Random House Dictionary:

dub - to add (music, speech, etc.) to a film or tape recording.

It makes sense to say "I hate dubs that aren't the show's original dub in it's original language." The original dub in the original language is what the show was designed for, and it usually gets much more $$$ resources in its production. Avatar's original language is English, and it's voice acting is quite good. I've heard the Japanese dub, and it's terrible, ruining a lot of the characters personalities.

As for despising any dub in English, even if the show was originally written and cast in English...that's just depressingly weeaboo.
