There’s a famous movie about how thing X is good.

Someone makes a movie about how thing X sucks.

Deeply obnoxious person: “Leftists won’t let you make a movie about how X is good anymore. They want to tear down everything you value.”

You and I can’t make movies because we don’t have the money. But if a filmmaker wants to make another film about how X is good, I don’t think there’s a cabal of producers stopping them.

Alternatively: if leftists make a movie about how thing Y is good, you wouldn’t say you’re “tearing it down.” You’d say you’re Just Asking Questions about whether thing Y is actually bad.
