These are barely satire at this point.
Sunk cost fallacy. The IngSoc media went all in on it being problematic and dangerous, and it becoming both massively successful and critically acclaimed is a huge slap in the face and another stake in the heart of their fading relevancy. Instead of growing up and moving the fuck on, they and their supporters have decided to take the tried and true elitist tactic of self fellating about how their opinion may be unpopular, but are
morally right, and the public is full of bad dumb dumbs.
