I don't like MST:3K, but I don't think it is mean-spirited. You're right - it is a vehicle to make fun of things you love. I make fun of television shows I love. I still make fun of how angsty Angel from Buffy is. I do so because I like him and I love that show. Mal from Firefly? Hello, Captain Tightpants. But I love him. I would never say it to be mean.

It seems like the internet sometimes breeds this mean-spirited vibe that people feed off of. They love to get online and trash things to make themselves feel better. If asked my opinion on a movie I watched and didn't like, then I'll say I didn't like it, but I don't blast it out everywhere. And I wouldn't watch something just to make fun of how bad it is when it wasn't intended to be that way.

I love the internet, but sometimes the people on it are just so darn mean. Not my flist, though! You're all wonderful!
