What We Think

The 2021 'Rugrats' reboot cranks up the woke factor, prioritizing identity-focused updates and modern politics over the charm of the original. Traditional family, religion, and masculine roles take a clear back seat to progressive messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In the 2021 reboot, several core characters were significantly altered to fit contemporary identity politics, like reimagining Betty DeVille as openly gay. Representation sometimes feels prioritized over organic storytelling, with some plotlines or dialogue crafted around these shifts instead of focusing on childlike wonder and humor.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Family structures and parental roles are modernized for today's standards, at times sidelining more traditional portrayals. Masculinity is often played for laughs or minimized, while family and religion are largely absent or depicted superficially, favoring progressive norms over foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show’s worldview is almost exclusively aligned with current progressive values, and alternative perspectives are basically nowhere to be seen. Dissenting or traditional outlooks aren’t given sincere voices, when they appear at all, they’re usually there for comedic effect or as outdated stereotypes.
