Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Gravity Falls puts storytelling and clever mystery first. The characters, while diverse and quirky, are developed through personality and growth, not identity checklists. There’s little evidence of forced representation or narrative hijacking for ideological points, character arcs actually take precedence.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show gently pokes fun at a number of traditions, including family and small-town quirks, but never in a way that feels malicious or like an attack on foundational values. It actually has a strong sibling relationship and positive messages about family, with only the occasional modern nod.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Gravity Falls offers a range of perspectives, with lovable oddballs and traditional characters both given their moments. It isn’t preachy and doesn’t villainize people for their worldview. Most viewers would say it’s more interested in fun than pushing a uniform ideology.
