What We Think

"Gravitation" isn’t aggressively "woke" by today’s standards, more reflecting a niche romantic drama of its era. LGBTQ themes are present but not at the expense of narrative or character development, giving it a middle-of-the-road score on the woke scale.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While "Gravitation" incorporates LGBTQ themes and central relationships, it doesn't aggressively shove identity over story or character growth. At its core, it's about music and personal aspirations, with romance as an authentic subplot. Its representation sometimes feels a bit idealized, but not in a heavy-handed, modern "check-box" way.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series features a same-sex romance and leans into adapting traditional romance tropes to fit that context, which could be seen as gently subverting traditional norms. However, it doesn't actively attack tradition, family, or morality, mainly just sidesteps or reinterprets them for its story.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The worldview in "Gravitation" is centered around acceptance and finding oneself, with little exploration of opposing perspectives. Alternative or traditional views aren't directly villainized, but they're rarely present or represented seriously, leaning to a relatively uniform perspective.
