What We Think

For a late-’90s cartoon, “Mission Hill” is fairly balanced: it dips a toe into diversity and progressive values, but mostly just wants to make you laugh with oddballs in the city. Barely a blip on the woke-o-meter compared to today’s typical fare.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

"Mission Hill" puts quirky characters and their personalities front and center, but their traits don't feel shoehorned in just to tick diversity boxes. Storylines focus more on everyday struggles, relationships, and comedic misadventures than on identity-driven agendas. There’s some gentle inclusion, but nothing that hijacks the plot for woke points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show lightly pokes fun at traditional values but isn't aggressively hostile to notions like family, masculinity, or community. While some stereotypes are played for laughs, it’s more playful than purposefully subversive. The main characters are slackers, but it doesn’t soapbox about gender roles or dramatically rewrite any traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints exist, usually as caricatured parents or authority figures, but they're not entirely villainized. The show’s progressive leanings are present (e.g., openly gay couple), but it's more laid back Gen-X than hyper-woke. There’s some bias, but outright ideological steamrolling is rare by modern standards.
