Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

As a lighthearted game show, 'Ellen's Game of Games' doesn't really engage with big narratives, character development, or overt messaging. Contestants are chosen for entertainment value, not identity factors. There's no forced representation or ideological storytelling at play, just people getting slimed.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show sidesteps religious or family themes, doesn't attack traditional values, and the format feels neutral. If anything, it's too busy dunking contestants in goop to worry about challenging cultural foundations. No noticeable subversion or revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Ellen herself is a progressive icon, the show's content is focused on harmless fun, not pushing specific beliefs. There’s no meaningful discussion of worldviews. You won’t find heavy-handed messaging, but don't expect traditionalism either, it's just standard, friendly TV fluff.
