Great literature is mocked, mangled, and satirized all the time. If the work is truly great, it's not diminished by the process, just as appreciating the satire does not mean one lacks appreciation for the original.
Your classifications are overbroad and lead you to inaccurate conclusions. This reflects more negatively on you than it does on the people whom you are attempting to insult.
