I don't know if it's fair to call it forced toxicity, so much as psuedo-toxicity; he's using it as red herring (or maybe a honeypot?) and following the rule: if you specifically want to be avoided by cancel culture... just get yourself cancelled :)
That is, he's using the toxic word without the toxic meaning, to bypass shallow filters that lack the nuance to catch on.
I'd say it's more of a kafkaesque bureaucratic distopia than a sci-fi one
