Of course, "when mocking their least-favorite characters" works, too. (Twilight Anti-Fandom...)
You just made me realize something truly weird- when it comes to Twilight, no matter what side you're on, you're arm-in-arm with your fellows on that side.
I've brought this up once or twice and had Potterheads try to tell me "Noooo, Team Dead-weird and Team Pedowolf h8 each other 4lyfe!" but that never went as far or as hateful as it did in the Potterfandom, and they never had the million factions that Potter did (Snapestans, Maurauder-stans, Slytherinfen, Potter Haters, Critics who still loved, and oh-so-many-shippers-Shippers-Shipping) all throwing their hatred at each other.
With Twatlight, the fans of it stuck together absolutely and the haters are in 100% agreement that there is nothing good about it. And everyone stays in their own camp (the fans sticking to their own, knowing they will never penetrate the iron-clad hatred fortress, the haters staying in their mansions, knowing they will never be able to reverse the brain damage of the fans). And we're content to mock and our mocking makes them stick together and love and cherish one-another.
As someone on my LJ said, that's the only thing I will ever admire about that fandom. They ruly love each other. Which is the height of irony, considering there has never been a more piss-poor, messed up, ass-backwards, doing-it-wrong representation of love since Jim Jones poured a cup of flavor-aid and said "I made this for you because I love you".
