What We Think

For its era, The Guild stands out as essentially non-woke, focused on relatable, oddball characters instead of social lectures. The show’s humor and heart are rooted in gaming culture, not box-checking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Guild focuses primarily on quirky character-driven humor and gaming culture rather than using identity politics as a crutch. Character traits like race and gender don't override actual development, and casting appears motivated by fit for the roles and the show’s unique comedic style.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series neither mocks nor champions traditional values; family and faith are background at best. Masculinity isn't pathologized, characters’ flaws are social or nerdy rather than ideological. If anything, it pokes fun at everyone equally and sidesteps cultural dogma.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The Guild lampoons a broad spectrum of personalities and viewpoints. No particular ideology dominates, the cast’s diversity of quirks is the point, and there’s little sign of punishing or parodying characters for having non-mainstream opinions.
