From what is reported, "Alphonse" appears to place heavy emphasis on modern identity themes and seems to give priority to representation over organic character development. Several characters' traits, such as race and sexuality, are spotlighted in ways that feel designed to tick boxes rather than deepen the story, potentially undermining narrative depth.

The series reportedly pokes fun at traditional family structures and seems to treat masculinity as a source of comic relief or critique. Long-standing cultural expectations are upended, and certain traditions are subverted to align with progressive sensibilities, diminishing the value placed on more classical cultural ideas.

Alternative viewpoints are, from various sources, noticeably sidelined in favor of a dominant ideology. Traditional perspectives are often delivered via caricature, while moral debates on issues like gender, sexuality, and identity are oddly absent or dismissed. It would be nice to see a little more ideological pluralism.
