What We Think

American Horror Story is a prime example of high-gloss, high-woke entertainment. Traditional norms are gleefully shredded for shock value, with diversity and modern ideology prioritized over narrative depth or nuance.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

‘American Horror Story’ regularly foregrounds identity over story, with casting choices that emphasize race, sexuality, and gender for narrative intrigue. It often uses its diverse ensemble to push topical themes, sometimes at the expense of character realism or coherent development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures, religion, and established gender roles are almost always subverted, mocked, or depicted as sources of horror or repression. The show takes pleasure in upending old-fashioned morality, often with a snarky wink to the audience.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional perspectives rarely get a sympathetic portrayal. Dissenters are often set up as ignorant, villainous, or mentally unstable while the dominant ideology, heavy on modern progressive values, is portrayed as both cooler and morally superior.
