What We Think

Gangsta. avoids the modern 'woke' pitfalls, characters are defined by their situations, not by identity checklists. Gritty, violent, and uncompromising, it's refreshingly non-preachy in its storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Gangsta. maintains a gritty, realistic tone and doesn't sacrifice story for ideology. Characters' backgrounds and identities are woven organically, focusing more on survival, loyalty, and the brutality of their world than on checking diversity boxes. No ham-fisted identity lectures here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like loyalty, family, and survival are at the forefront. The show doesn't bend over backwards to ridicule or subvert masculinity, family, or cultural norms, in fact, it rather revels in them. There's little evidence of cultural revisionism or forced moral lectures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the world is rough and sometimes bleak, traditional perspectives and alternative viewpoints exist naturally in the show. Villains are complex, and various worldviews clash without devolving into caricature. It's a breath of non-woke air compared to recent media.
