What We Think

Scars of Beauty is a poster child for the modern ‘woke’ template, prioritizing identity and contemporary values at nearly every level. While polished and earnest, it often trades narrative richness and complexity for messaging, making it less appealing to those seeking nuance or tradition.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Scars of Beauty leans heavily into identity narratives, prioritizing diverse representation and topical issues over organic character growth. In our view, several characters are present more as symbols than individuals, which can undercut genuine drama. Storylines often pause to highlight social messaging, seeming to override narrative flow.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Family, faith, and tradition are generally depicted as sources of conflict or obstacles to personal expression. Masculinity is either sidelined or portrayed with a critical lens, while modern ideals surrounding gender roles are held up as the standard. There's a strong subversion of traditional norms throughout.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Scars of Beauty maintains a mostly homogenous worldview: traditional perspectives are either absent or appear only in negative light. Alternative viewpoints are rarely given depth, with dissenting voices generally portrayed as sources of misunderstanding or antagonism.
