Sorry I Don't understand what the denial bit is about but I think people should be allowed to make there image look like however they like, if there able through bad scanning get the look they require I don't really see the what's wrong with it! Photos can look like however they want.
I don't understand why you mean either about a colour cast, I think that's just the same no? Like if it's blue overcast then they need to make it warmer?.. how's that anymore stylistic?
But yeah I'm sure if edited mine to make it look Normal it would look better but when I scanned those in at the wrong settings that's what I got and really liked it!

To me/anyone who has been bludgeoned with years of university/professional-level training, magenta cast like that just looks like a bad scan.
A colour cast, yea, when stylistic. But that's an orange glow, or cold blues, or bleach bypassed high-contrast. Magenta is home scanner user.
It can work, but often doesn't. Without the magenta you can really bring out the warmth or whatever you want. Grey is grey, red is red, blue is blue. If the white balance is on-point, then you can have the colours really pop.
Anyone who says a magenta cast is good is in denial.
