UITextView scrolling is inverted on tvOS - swift

Question

Okay, weird one here.
I have a UITextView that I am populating with an attributed string. The TextView doesn't want to scroll by itself so I have to enable some settings, specifically:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
articleText.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
articleText.isSelectable = true
articleText.isScrollEnabled = true
articleText.panGestureRecognizer.allowedTouchTypes = [NSNumber(value: UITouchType.indirect.rawValue)]
articleText.bounces = true
setup()
}
However, setting these cause the scrollView to scroll the inverted way compared to everything else on tvOS. Really bizarre. The full class code is as follows:
class ArticleViewController : UIViewController, ListingViewControllerProtocol {
var listing : ListingData?
#IBOutlet weak var articleText: UITextView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
articleText.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
articleText.isSelectable = true
articleText.isScrollEnabled = true
articleText.panGestureRecognizer.allowedTouchTypes = [NSNumber(value: UITouchType.indirect.rawValue)]
articleText.bounces = true
setup()
}
func setup(){
if let listing = self.listing {
APIManager.sharedInstance.getShortendArticle(url: listing.url, onCompletion: { (json) in
let article = ShortendArticle(fromJson: json)
let html = "<h1>" + article.title + "</h1>" + article.content
DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
let theAttributedString = try! NSAttributedString(data: html.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8, allowLossyConversion: false)!,
options: [NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType],
documentAttributes: nil)
self.articleText.attributedText = theAttributedString
})
})
}
}
}
Mine isn't the same as the related question because I'm not trying to deviate from tvOSs standards

This code seems to be working as expected, it means:
Swipe up gesture scrolls down the text, allowing the user to continue reading more text. Similar behaviour than swiping up in iOS
Swipe down gesture scrolls up the text, allowing going back to the beginning.
From tvOS Human Interface Guidelines:
On Apple TV, almost everything uses indirect manipulation—gestures
move focus between objects, and the system scrolls the interface to
keep focused items visible. If your app implements indirect
manipulation, make sure focus moves in the direction of the gesture.
If someone taps or swipes right on the remote, for example, focus
should move right, meaning content may move left. If someone taps or
swipes up, focus should move up. Full-screen elements like photos
should use direct manipulation instead—gestures move objects, rather
than focus. Swiping right, for example, should move the photo from
left to right.
