What We Think

Parasite Dolls keeps its focus on storytelling and world-building, with little evidence of forced representation or woke messaging. It’s a mostly non-woke cyberpunk tale, refreshing compared to more recent productions.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Parasite Dolls focuses on gritty cyberpunk themes with attention to crime, humanity, and moral ambiguity. Characters, male and female, are generally fleshed out based on their role and actions, not their identity. There's little indication that representation overrides narrative priorities, staying true to genre roots.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t go out of its way to undermine traditional values or mock religion, family, or masculinity. While it presents a bleak, futuristic society, it treats cultural foundations more as part of its world-building than ideological targets.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s some critique of authority and corporate power, but no overbearing ideological messaging. Different perspectives exist within the cast, and alternatives to the corrupt system aren’t demonized, if anything, everyone’s flawed. Ideological uniformity is, thankfully, absent.
