impersonating anyone is a "ban-able offense", and should have been from the get-go. there have been tens of dozens of accounts i've personally reported over the years. all were banned a few hours after.
if you don't mention you're a parody expect people to report your account and to get a ban.
"To be fair", it always has been. For years there's been instances of verified accounts changing their name to someone else "as a bit" and getting hit with the ban hammer.
It's always been kind of wild that verified users can just change their username and keep the tick (of course, goes against the whole seasonal name thing twitter enjoys...)
