What We Think

"The Game" (2021) leans hard into modern identity politics, with narrative and characters designed more to check diversity boxes than for organic storytelling. Traditional perspectives take a back seat, making this reboot peak modern Hollywood in its ideological approach.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The 2021 revival of "The Game" makes identity themes central, focusing heavily on race, gender, and sexuality. Many characters seem cast to align with current diversity trends, arguably at the expense of traditional character development. These identity factors often overshadow other aspects such as skill or personal growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series frequently questions or subverts traditional notions of family, masculinity, and societal values. Masculine characters are often presented in a negative or diminished light, while new cultural and ideological perspectives get heavy promotion, reinterpreting original show themes through a modern lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show's worldview centers almost entirely around contemporary social justice values, with little room for alternative perspectives. Traditional views are often presented as outdated or even harmful, with dissenting opinions rarely shown with nuance or respect.
