At the risk of falling victim to it myself, that's often referenced as Poe's Law (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law ): Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture saying that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.
