What We Think

Dragon Booster is a non-woke blast from the past, focused on adventure and character with minimal ideological intrusion. It upholds classic values, skips forced representation, and offers an inclusive but not preachy story world. A rare example of straightforward storytelling unsullied by modern virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dragon Booster emphasizes storytelling and adventure over identity politics. The lead, Artha Penn, is chosen for his character rather than to check boxes, and there isn’t an obvious push for forced representation. The focus remains on classic hero’s journey tropes rather than ideology, making for a refreshingly straightforward narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like heroism, loyalty, and family are reinforced rather than undermined. Masculinity isn’t pathologized, and gender roles, while somewhat modernized, don’t come across as an attack on tradition. There’s little evidence of cultural revisionism or denigration of longstanding values in this dragon-racing universe.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show isn’t pushing a contemporary ideological narrative. Alternative viewpoints aren’t villainized and there’s a general sense of moral clarity. Any conflict is classic good vs evil, not a proxy for today’s culture wars. This show barely registers on the woke-o-meter for ideological monotony.
