Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This 2006 adaptation of the classic Middle Eastern tales stays true to the source material, focusing on storytelling and character within the cultural framework. Identity politics and modern ideological themes are almost completely absent, with characters developed according to the narrative’s world.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and traditional morality are respected as core elements. There is no effort to undermine or cynically reinterpret these values. The series appears to embrace the customs and beliefs of its setting rather than subvert them to modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative and traditional viewpoints are presented without ridicule or caricature. There’s no obvious attempt to promote a uniform, contemporary worldview. The storytelling is culturally rooted rather than ideologically driven.
