What you're seeing is a reaction based on pure fear. Fear that all of the time, effort, money, and anguish they put into being degenerate he-shes will come to naught. Fear that all of the ideas they consider serious is exposed as mere fodder for ridicule. Fear that they are very soon to become irrelevant.

The greatest thing these attention whores fear is being consigned to the category of mentally ill idiots who should be ignored.
