What We Think

Luigi's Mansion is blissfully unwoke, a throwback to when games were about fun, not lectures. Inoffensive, apolitical, and delightfully silly, it's the opposite of a modern 'woke' title.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Luigi's Mansion is refreshingly focused on gameplay and classic haunted house adventure. There's no apparent emphasis on identity politics, forced representation, or overwrought messaging; characters are chosen for their fit within the Mario universe, not to check boxes. The narrative remains lighthearted and appropriately silly, without injecting any modern ideological agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This game keeps its feet firmly in cartoonish, family-friendly soil, celebrating themes of brotherhood, courage, and perseverance. No one is rewriting history or undermining traditional values here, if anything, Luigi is a quietly masculine underdog who gets his heroic moment. Religion, family, and classic good-versus-evil are left untouched.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

You won't find any modern ideological campaigns here. There aren't really any overt worldviews, let alone ones aggressively promoted or mocked. The few characters all play their parts with fun and simplicity, never drifting into social commentary or turning every ghost into a thinkpiece.
