In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Jabberjaw is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards, a silly cartoon focused on entertaining kids, not pushing any ideological agenda. The only agenda here is slapstick mayhem and occasional shark-related puns.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Jabberjaw is a product of its era, focusing on comedic antics and slapstick fun rather than emphasizing contemporary identity politics. Characters are defined more by their personality quirks than anything ideological, and there’s no sense of forced representation or overwrought empowerment arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t take aim at traditional values, family, religion, or masculinity. Instead, it’s a straightforward, goofy adventure with no subversive messaging regarding cultural foundations. If anything, it’s a time capsule of simpler, more innocent television.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Jabberjaw does not engage in any overt ideological messaging. Views and values are conventional for its time, and the show avoids villainizing alternative perspectives or promoting a single worldview.
