I don't get it either. What is the point of being mean? Which to me is something quite different from doing a parody or mocking beloved clichés - that can be a lot of fun. A good example of what I mean is Galaxy Quest. It was hilariously funny in its view of fandom(s) without being mean. The negative example for me would be the happiness with which I've seen a lot of people trash the Twilight books. If you don't like them why bother reading them. Same in fandom. If I don't like what others are doing, I can walk away and find something else to spend my time on. But I guess you're right - it comes down to how much of my very limited time I want to spend on things I don't like. In my case as in yours: as little as possible.
