Take the recent JK Rowling stuff as an example - whether you agree with what she's had to say regarding gender identity or not, the abuse doled out on SoMed isn't really OK. It wouldn't be OK directed at racists or anyone else, either. By all means call people out but when it starts to get aggressive and threatening, it's gone too far. In literally any circumstance.

I'd also add, even the gentler "rib-poking" whilst generally fine, I draw the line when it's directed at people with intellectual disabilities and the severely mentally ill. It stops being OK when the target has no way of being "in on the joke", doesn't understand, and can't respond.
