Our VerdictNot Woke

Deponia2012

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

Deponia is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on zany antics over identity. Its irreverence is aimed at everyone, not ideological targets, and it dodges modern culture wars almost entirely.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Deponia sticks to a classic adventure game formula, with identity politics barely present. Characters are defined by quirks, flaws, and humor rather than by diversity checklists. No sign of forced representation or overpowered diverse characters, as the focus is more on absurdity and slapstick than messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and cultural norms aren't overtly mocked or subverted, mostly played for laughs. The protagonist is an obnoxious, bumbling male antihero, which could be seen as satire of masculinity, but it doesn't come across as ideological. Family or religion aren't major themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Deponia’s humor targets everyone equally, lampooning societal flaws with a broad brush and avoiding caricature depictions of any particular worldview. There’s no obvious message, and dissenting perspectives or traditions are neither villainized nor shoved aside.
