What We Think

Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) is a paragon of non-woke gaming, a product of simpler times, blissfully free of ideological agendas or box-ticking diversity. Just rings, robots, and running fast.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) is about as non-woke as you can get. The game’s narrative is straightforward, stop the evil Dr. Robotnik from turning animals into robots. There’s no sign of forced representation or prioritizing identity over classic heroes-and-villains storytelling. It keeps things refreshingly simple.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no commentary on family, religion, or traditional values. Masculinity isn’t subverted, and there are no attempts at rewriting cultural history for ideological reasons. It’s just a blue hedgehog who runs fast, not a cultural manifesto.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No ideology is pushed or even hinted at. The game world doesn’t try to mock or exclude alternative views because it doesn’t deal with them at all, it’s pure, apolitical fun.
