Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Splinter Cell: Blacklist sticks to its roots with a narrative focused on counter-terrorism and classic espionage. Characters are developed primarily around competence and role rather than identity markers. Diversity exists, but it's incorporated naturally rather than forced. There's minimal evidence that modern ideological trends compromised the plot or character arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game maintains traditional views on heroism, loyalty, and masculinity, with Sam Fisher as the quintessential competent operative. There’s no significant undermining of traditional cultural values, family, or religion. The narrative respects the military and presents moral complexity, rather than outright subversion of Western or traditional norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, including some nuanced villains and allies. The story avoids caricaturing traditional or dissenting views, and the focus stays on pragmatic threats rather than lecturing about modern identity politics. Ideological diversity is handled with relative authenticity for the genre.
