Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is built around stand-up comedians trading insults, narrative is almost beside the point, and casting appears based on comedic skill, not ideology. Identity factors take a backseat to sharp wit, and there’s minimal focus on forced representation or flawless characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Roast Battle thrives on irreverence, poking fun at everyone and every topic. No sacred cows, but it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine family, religion, or traditional roles. Many jokes push boundaries, but the show itself doesn’t preach to moral or cultural issues.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, the show pulls jokes from all directions and targets all kinds of people, avoiding any one ideological perspective. There’s room for multiple viewpoints, as long as it’s funny, and no group gets blanket positive or negative portrayal.
