You just don't get what it means to have high intellect. Not trying to be mean here but your assertion that the Coen's are making fun of their subjects is so presumptive and off base as if to say I'm way smarter than they are so they should do things the way I want them done. You are a critic, did you like their movies? Why? Please don't try to push your mental "illness" on the writer/directors. If a blind albino comedian uses self effacing humor would you judge him as being racist or somehow mean to the handicapped? What if a brilliant caricaturist does a self portrait? Would the result be self mocking just because the satire is self portrait? Just think about it, in the Coen's world every personality trait is digested and portrayed, in often loving often mocking and usually both ways, Their stories often play on these traits and take them to logical ends of time and combination all in service of the viewers "entertainment".
