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

Slam Dunk is a time capsule from before wokeness took over. It’s a genuine sports story with relatable characters, traditional values, and none of the ideological baggage. A rare slam dunk for non-woke storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Slam Dunk focuses almost entirely on character development, athletic struggle, and personal growth. Identity politics, forced representation, or 'perfect' diverse characters are nowhere to be found. The story remains rooted in its narrative about basketball, rivalry, and youth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like hard work, friendship, discipline, and even masculinity are celebrated. Family, competition, and self-improvement are not mocked or subverted; instead, they’re at the heart of the show. If anything, it's refreshingly non-woke compared to modern fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't villainized or caricatured, there’s simply no overt agenda here. The show is more interested in the thrill of the game than ideological debates, offering a break from the monoculture seen in newer productions.
