We have in recent memory seen valid criticisms against, for example, Kamala Harris dismissed as racist/sexist, criticisms of Ilhan Omar as "islamophobic", criticisms of George Soros as "anti-Semitic", criticisms of drag shows for kids and grown men in girl's dressing rooms as "transphobia" and "literal violence".

"Hate speech" is the new "think of the children". An easy (and socially acceptable, apparently) way to silence and smear critics.

The irony of using the drags show for kids as one of your examples and then referencing “think of the children”.
