Why are professional philosophers dismissive of Slavoj Žižek?—Is there documentation of the former's views on the latter?

Zizek is fun to listen to (lots of videos on YouTube), but at this point I am looking for information that is able to situate his writings within (or possibly against) broader contemporary philosophy. For example, I already know Noam Chomsky is no intellectual ally of Zizek, whereas someone like Cornell West is comparatively much more supportive. However, these are just the attitudes of well-known public intellectual philosophers, out of a large and diverse field. My curiosity is around the more general question: how do the major practicing schools of philosophy view Zizek's thinking (or lack thereof)? If some (e.g.) analytic philosophers are dismissive of Zizek, what rationale do they provide? If there's an article documenting this space of views, that would be helpful.

(*Clarifications*. Please note that my question is a literature research question (boring!! [*Metaclarification*: no, this is not a homework thing, I graduated years ago]), namely if anyone might suggest any journalistic articles documenting the existing criticism of Zizek, or academic papers/articles constructing critical arguments about Zizek. They would have to be of philosophical salience and yet useful for a non-professional like myself. I can tolerate some difficulty but would prefer a text that is not overly abstruse. Also, I am emphatically not looking to debate the merits of Zizek in this thread, because that's probably been done elsewhere. My comments above should not be construed as asking to do that.)

Generally, no one is going to take the time to write an article on something they find unworthy of their consideration. If a philosopher writes a paper, they are already considering the work or person worthy of their time and consideration.

Philosophers, including academic analytic philosophers, have a finite amount of time in a day and deadlines. Even if they find Zizek's work interesting, it may not be relevant to their work and thus why they do not write on his work.
