I get what you're saying. But we're talking about things like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20190820162056/https://old.reddit.com/r/DropTheTea/

The images in the banner, or a series of posts like the creator made called "Monsters Among Us". Just mockery and sneering and disgust, disguised as activism.

Freeze peaches and all that jazz, but how does that make us look? As LGB people trying to fight for our right to exist?

That's why we're saying someone else can make it and do whatever they want. And hell, we'll even link to it so any users who do want to pull off the gloves and go hard, they know where to go too. But it's not appropriate here.

I think you're mistaken regarding mockery as not activism. Do you honestly think religion would not be being beaten back from its excesses were it not for the mountains of well earned mockery levied against them? That is the place of mockery to begin with. If you are not allowed to argue, if the people you argue against won't hear you, that is exactly when mockery is deserved and best suited.
