Why can't we use it as parody and satire within Wikipedia user space?

Because fair use is not "free content", and Wikipedia is a free content encyclopaedia. We should have as little of it as possible. In fact, I think we should take a leaf out of other language Wikipedias and just remove all fair use images. Having fair use images limits our distribution potential in countries which aren't the US (which is most of them).
But user space isn't the encyclopedia. What's the problem with using such an image in user space, if we have a decent fair use case for it (parody and satire)?
