The 'Hall of Shame' episodes devote significant attention to the race, gender, and sexuality of key characters, often reframing established storylines through contemporary identity-focused lenses. In our view, this comes at the expense of classic character-driven arcs and naturalistic development, leading to moments that feel more like ideological retrospectives than organic narrative extensions.

The show regularly subverts traditional family and religious values, painting them as sources of dysfunction or hypocrisy. Masculinity is often lampooned, and alternative lifestyles are elevated as the moral baseline. This approach may seem to undermine, rather than thoughtfully critique, foundational cultural norms.

There is little genuine space given to non-woke perspectives. Dissenting views on gender, family, or tradition are mostly shown through outdated, villainous, or comedic characters, discouraging any sincere engagement with alternative values.
