Right wingers don't have control of the culture industry and can't effectively elevate someone like Peretti to the point of high social standing. Rooney is a Trinity College graduate and has received numerous highly prestigious awards for merely appealing to the urban liberal-left bourgeois worldview. Understanding the right wing critique as nothing more than "leftists write slop" is bad faith to the extreme. You're missing the entire point about the intersection between institutions and culture construction. Which is surely performative because leftists are totally fine with these critiques when it was postmodernist philosophers making them. It really goes back to that tweet about leftists pretending to not understand anything thereby making discourse impossible.
