People are not required to like or dislike anything. I guess the question you raise would require some additional info to answer. Some people have Austro German music as their reference and therefore don't really like styles which are at variance, for example Russian or French. Some people like 19th C music but not 20th C music. I think if you like Tchaikovsky then there might be some Prokofiev one could like such as his ballets, Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet, the Stone Flower or the Symphonies 6 and 7. But Prokofiev also had a 20th C spikiness so one would have to like 20th C music to like the Violin Concertos or some of the earlier symphonies, his opera Love For 3 Oranges etc. Do you also dislike Shostakovich?
