I suspect the acceptance of this sort of thing is related to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-realism

In anti-realism, the truth of a statement rests on its demonstrability through internal logic mechanisms, such as the context principle or intuitionistic logic, in direct opposition to the realist notion that the truth of a statement rests on its correspondence to an external, independent reality.[2] In anti-realism, this external reality is hypothetical and is not assumed.[3][4]

Postmodernism, which says everything is subjective and doesn’t demand any logical consistency, is even worse.

They use postmodernism as a tool to deconstruct our reality, then impose their own views and ignore the fact that we could just as easily deconstruct them in turn. "There is no objective reality, therefore you should accept my subjective views."

I don’t support imposing false truth claims on people.
