Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series sticks to exploring criminal motivations and personal backgrounds without targeting traditional values like family, religion, or masculinity. There’s little to no criticism or subversion of cultural foundations; the focus stays on unraveling the case rather than pushing modern ideals.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Evil Genius isn’t interested in pushing a single worldview. If anything, it highlights the complexity and messiness of its subjects without resorting to modern ideological stereotypes. There’s no clear villainization of alternative viewpoints, just the facts of a strange crime.
