RWBY2013

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

RWBY embodies much of modern animation’s ‘girl power’ motif, with heavy focus on diversity and less interest in classic traditions or debate. While not the most egregious example, it’s certainly on the woker side of the spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

RWBY leans into identity-focused storytelling, especially with a predominantly female main cast who display remarkable competence and occasional invulnerability. At times, it can feel like personality development takes a back seat to emphasizing diversity, though the show retains a sense of adventure and team-driven narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

While RWBY doesn’t actively mock traditional values, it frequently downplays family structure and depicts masculinity as secondary to strong female and non-traditional characters. Religious and historical references are mostly sidelined or reshaped to fit modern themes, nudging the story away from classic cultural frameworks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show rarely gives voice to perspectives outside the ‘progressive’ consensus, traditional roles and dissenting worldviews are either lightly caricatured or largely absent. Conflict is more about fighting monsters than clashing values, but there is little room for outright ideological pluralism.
