I think you are correct, but I don't think she was out for that at the start... I think as people (Fey, etc) kept over reacting and treating it like a huge issue she woke up to it (so to speak) and started to enjoy the attention and potential camera time and happily leaned into it.

It was the same as when Charley didn't mind Emily saying the N word really until Shabs etc started to make a big deal about it and then she got more and more offended as it went on.

Victimhood and sympathy is a hell of a drug.
