"Ex on the Beach" is more concerned with drama and romance than ideology. Casting choices seem driven by entertainment value, not forced representation. Personality quirks and chaos reign supreme, with little attention paid to 'woke' messaging. It’s low on narrative pretense, mostly sticking to its reality-show roots of shocking reveals and messy breakups.

Traditional ideas of relationships, dating, and gender roles are more played for drama than deconstructed or moralized. While the behaviors and attitudes may seem frivolous or shallow, they're not trying to rewrite any long-standing values, if anything, the show reinforces classic reality TV tropes.

The show portrays a wide variety of personalities (even if some are caricatured), and ideology is basically non-existent. It isn’t pushing any uniform worldview. Conflict comes from romance and jealousy, not politics or identity. Traditional, non-woke perspectives aren’t mocked, they’re just part of the circus.
