Geek Girl places significant focus on the protagonist’s identity, emphasizing her quirks, awkwardness, and outsider status while checking plenty of diversity boxes. Representation sometimes feels more of a guiding agenda than an organic part of the story, with character arcs often secondary to the show's message. Some of the supporting cast verge on stereotypical, leaning into representation over narrative depth.

The series subtly undermines traditional norms with its depiction of family dynamics and pokes fun at the idea of gender roles, often highlighting non-traditional families or relationships as the ideal. While not overt, classic values are brushed aside in favor of a modern, progressive worldview, with little nuance for alternative viewpoints.

Virtually every major character operates from the same set of contemporary moral assumptions, with dissenting voices played for laughs or quickly dismissed. Any questioning of the central identity narrative is presented as ignorance or villainy rather than a legitimate perspective, leading to a sense of groupthink.
