What We Think

Animal Crossing: New Horizons stands as a breezy, non-woke refuge. If you’re tired of ideology in gaming, this one’s basically a sandbox for digital gardening and vibing, no lectures attached.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is almost entirely free of overt ideological narratives. Character traits are whimsical and personality-driven, not focused on identity politics. Representation is handled through customization, but never shoehorned into the storyline or at the expense of gameplay.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game is exceedingly gentle with tradition. There’s no undermining of family, religion, or masculinity, since these themes are mostly absent. It simply focuses on community and individual creativity, without an agenda. Frankly, it’s like an ideological vanilla cupcake.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no preaching here. The villagers get along and represent simple, quirky personalities. While debate and pluralism are not a focus, there’s nothing that villainizes alternative viewpoints, since conflict is almost nonexistent.
