Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Shark Tank focuses on entrepreneurship, merit, and business acumen, rewarding ideas and hard work regardless of identity. There's very little evidence of forced representation or identity politics overshadowing the central narrative. Casting generally reflects a straightforward, business-centric approach.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show champions traditional American values like hard work, self-reliance, and ambition. Family, legacy, and personal responsibility are commonly highlighted in contestants' stories. There's no obvious agenda undermining these values; masculinity, religion, and morality are portrayed neutrally or positively.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Shark Tank sticks close to the entrepreneurial dream without heavy-handed messaging. Investors and contestants have diverse backgrounds but aren't there simply to fulfill any ideological checkboxes. Alternative worldviews like skepticism toward capitalism do exist, but aren't mocked or villainized, just out of scope.
