Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

A Little Princess from 1987 is very traditional, focusing on character growth, personal virtue, and perseverance. No evidence of forced representation or characters being defined by modern identity politics. The story reflects depth, rather than using identity as a stand-in for personality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show treats family, class, morality, and even old-fashioned British hierarchy with nuance. Religious themes are occasionally present, and traditional gender roles are mostly respected, reflective of Victorian England. There's little sign of undermining cultural foundations present here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The perspective is classic, with good and evil shown through clear, traditional storytelling. There is no overt effort to mock or villainize alternative worldviews; if anything, the work assumes traditional values. No ideological uniformity beyond what is normal for a period piece.
