Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Great White Tower' focuses on medical drama, professional ambition, and personal conflict, with character arcs driven by competence and personality rather than checking diversity boxes. The story centers on realism and traditional themes, making it almost untouched by modern 'woke' tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional Japanese hierarchy, respect for elders, notions of honor, and family responsibilities are portrayed without irony or subversion. Masculinity, ambition, and personal struggle are explored seriously. There is no attempt to undermine core cultural values or rewrite traditions to fit modern ideological trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Dissenting and traditional perspectives receive sincere and complex portrayal. Morality isn't dictated with modern ideological assumptions; instead, multiple viewpoints are explored with genuine nuance, and there’s no mockery of alternative views or attempt to enforce a single ideology.
