This has been the standard approach for self-reflective industry and audience criticism in the anime scene since Evangelion and it simply does not work. Otaku still argue over Asuka/Rei without irony. They take these things, praise it as masterful deconstruction, then integrate it into industry standard regular content without commentary.
A lot has been said about how satire doesn't really work but it super extra doesn't work on otakus.

Otaku culture has been built around lionising removed, using that exact d word. They revel in it. They are self aware and have created a culture of being ok with it. This also somehow captures completely normal people and brings them into it because "memes". With no pushback at all.
Satire kind of requires the target to have a sense of shame, or at least an idea that they could be doing better in order for it to actually do anything I think.

"Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would *critique * capital end up *reinforcing * it instead..."
