What We Think

Slasher lands in the mostly non-woke camp, it doesn’t aggressively foreground identity or ideology, focusing on classic slasher thrills instead. Small hints of modern sensibilities creep in, but nothing that hijacks the blood-soaked fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Slasher generally prioritizes its murder-mystery format over aggressive ideological messaging. While there is some diverse casting, most characters are developed with backstories and flaws rooted in the story, not just their identities. Occasionally, identity topics do surface, but they don’t tend to derail the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series does touch on themes like religion and family, sometimes using them for dramatic effect or as motives for violence, but it doesn’t go out of its way to ridicule traditional values. There’s some critique, but the approach feels more conventional than overtly 'woke.'

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Though there are some stereotypical portrayals (including religious zealots), Slasher usually includes a mix of perspectives among its ensemble. There isn’t strong evidence that dissenting or traditional views are completely shut out or used only as strawmen.
