Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Jane by Design focuses on a traditional underdog story where personality, drive, and talent fuel the lead’s success, rather than ticking identity boxes. Identity factors like race and sexuality aren’t front and center. The show is more interested in workplace antics and personal growth than checking off diversity quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show highlights themes of ambition, friendship, and family. Masculinity and traditional values aren’t mocked or subverted; if anything, the narrative quietly respects them. No efforts to twist the cultural backdrop to fit modern ideological trends stand out.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints and diverse backgrounds occur, but there’s no noticeable villainization of traditional or dissenting perspectives. The story avoids soapboxing and just sticks to being a lighthearted teen dramedy. Ideological preaching is basically absent.
