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

Amy Schumer: The Leather Special checks just about every box for modern wokeness, heavy on identity-based humor, subverts traditional culture, and keeps the ideological range narrowed to progressivism. Not much in the way of non-woke counterbalance here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

As a stand-up special, narrative in the traditional sense is thin, but the routine frequently centers on identity (gender, sexuality, body image) over classic comedic storytelling, with overt focus on personal socio-political perspectives rather than merit-based humor.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The special often makes traditional gender roles and masculinity the punchline. Conventional values, including aspects of family, morality, and even religion, are undercut or mocked rather than genuinely explored. The program leans heavily into subverting traditional cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are mostly presented as outdated or laughable. There’s little to no sincere representation of dissenting or traditionally-minded perspectives, with mainstream progressive ideology dominating the set’s themes and jokes.
