Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Legend of Fuyao mainly focuses on character growth, adventure, and traditional Chinese storytelling. While the female lead is highly competent, her journey involves genuine challenges and growth. Representation choices fit plausibly within the fantasy/historical setting, with little evidence of casting for identity rather than story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show tends to uphold traditional values, emphasizing loyalty, family bonds, honor, and romance. Masculinity and femininity are depicted in harmony, and classical cultural themes are celebrated rather than subverted. Religion and traditional morality are present without mockery or modern revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives and internal conflict are depicted without caricature. The story isn't used as a platform to push a particular modern ideology, instead staying rooted in its own world and lore. Pluralism and genuine differences are present without obvious villainization of tradition.
