"Year One" sticks to basic comedic storytelling without prioritizing modern identity politics. The characters are primarily defined by their personalities, flaws, and comedic mishaps rather than any ideological message or forced representation. The focus is on slapstick and crude humor more than anything resembling today's ideological checklists.

The movie plays with religious and historical contexts mainly for crude and irreverent laughs, but it's not looking to undermine traditional culture with a specific agenda. Most of its humor is lowbrow rather than ideological, and while it mocks ancient customs, it does so equally to all sides, no real subversion of traditional family or gender roles for 2020s-style points.

Alternative viewpoints exist mostly as side gags. No woke monoculture here; in fact, the movie rarely takes any ideology seriously. If anything, it lampoons everything and everyone equally, showing little concern for pushing a particular set of modern morals or portraying dissenters as villains.
