What We Think

“Diabolik Lovers” is about as non-woke as it gets for a modern supernatural romance. It sticks with old tropes, traditional dynamics, and avoids modern ideological intrusions entirely. Definitely not on Hollywood’s current trend.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Diabolik Lovers” is primarily focused on melodrama, gothic themes, and supernatural romance. Character identities are mostly based on vampire tropes and traditional archetypes, not modern identity politics. Narrative is driven by relationships and tension, not forced representation or ideological insertions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are emphasized, with a passive female protagonist and dominant male leads. There’s little attempt to subvert or critique family, religion, or masculinity; if anything, the show leans into classic patriarchal dynamics, though arguably not in a healthy way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t explored, but there’s also no grand ideological messaging. There’s no overt modern political agenda, just old-school dark romance with controlling male characters and a rather traditional (if melodramatic) approach.
