The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks2008

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks is quick to critique masculine tradition and showcases a heavy-handed girl-power narrative, sidelining alternative worldviews and leaning into woke motifs. Expect lots of ideological uniformity and a strong dose of gender subversion.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The story very purposely centers on identity, gender, in particular, as Frankie subverts a male-only secret society. The plot is somewhat sacrificed for the protagonist's girl-power messaging. Character traits like intellect and determination are repeatedly framed in opposition to traditional gender roles.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity and patriarchy face frequent critique, and male authority figures are often depicted as oblivious or regressive. Family and long-standing institutions aren’t exactly celebrated. The book generally leans toward flipping traditional gender roles as outdated or problematic.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional worldviews are largely caricatured or sidelined. Dissenting voices tend to come across as obstacles rather than characters with depth. There's little meaningful debate over the modern moral assumptions of gender roles or personal empowerment.
