These are excellent suggestions.
Take something they have written and published. Make a few eccentric modifications to it that change the tone and effectiveness. Perhaps inject some teen slang into a serious polemic. Or frame a friendly paragraph with thick bureaucratise.
Insist that their modification of your graphic is equivalent to your modifying their writing without coordinating the result with the original author.
Perhaps then they will understand why you care.
