if i generate my own vanity addresses, and leave my bitcoins on them, they would not automatically be 'updated' if the fork would come true, correct?

The fork has no effect on anyone's existing bitcoin holding. It only affects newly mined bitcoins rewarded after the fork occurs.

edit: i.e. you don't want to mine on a fork which is not the majority fork, because the reward will be worth little or nothing.

This isn't true. After the fork only coin will be unaffected that didn't move as it will be possible to mess with broadcasts on both chains.

Say coins in adress x move on gavincoin fork. Same transaction could be broadcast on MPcoin fork by anyone and vice versa.
If you actually have Bitcoin at the time of the fork you will be automatically caught in a war between the chains as soon as you move your coins.
You will only be able to safely transact again after one chain died out which can take months or years.
I'd predict an epic crash of btcs' value right before the fork - almost a certainty.

You don't think using the phrase "gavincoin" is in itself insulting?

Does it hurt your feelings? I don't look at gavincoin as bitcoin so why should i call gavincoin bitcoin? I have no other name for it. If you think it's insulting, i'm sorry. Wasn't intended but you'd probably have to get used to it.

Mr. Overflow your style of argumentations is manipulative at best - same as most of the other pro-forkers'.
