What We Think

RuPaul's Drag Race UK is basically a masterclass in woke television, focusing heavily on identity and progressive values at the expense of narrative or cultural balance. Traditional viewpoints are sidelined in favor of an unapologetic celebration of modern ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Drag Race UK centers almost entirely on identity, gender, and progressive themes, narrative often takes a backseat to representation and celebrating certain lifestyles. While obviously entertaining for its core audience, character development and story arcs are secondary to social messaging and showcasing diversity for its own sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show openly subverts traditional gender roles and frequently pokes fun at or reimagines established cultural norms. Much of its content is dedicated to challenging conventional views on masculinity, femininity, and even family structure, with little space left for traditionalist perspectives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or dissenting viewpoints are virtually nonexistent. The series assumes a universal acceptance of modern progressive ideals and celebrates them without question. Any hint of traditionalism is usually presented for comic effect or as a caricature, ensuring near-total ideological uniformity.
