Romper Stomper attempts to provide a gritty look at modern far-right and far-left politics, but at times the narrative feels shaped to emphasize identity themes and polarization. While not as overt in prioritizing ideology over character development as some recent productions, there are moments where ideological conflict takes center stage over story realism.

The show often depicts traditional community structures and nationalist viewpoints in a negative light, casting them as antagonistic. Meanwhile, progressive ideas receive more nuanced portrayals. While it doesn't rewrite history, there’s a clear slant that undermines traditional values for dramatic effect.

Dissenting perspectives mostly turn up as extremists or caricatures, with little time given to sincere debate or plurality. There's a heavy-handed approach to labeling groups as good or bad, reducing the complexity of the political spectrum and thus limiting genuine ideological balance.
