What We Think

‘The Other Black Girl’ is a showcase example of today’s Hollywood wokeness: identity politics drive the plot, traditional norms are subverted, and alternative worldviews are virtually absent or treated as problems to solve. For non-woke viewers, expect a heavy dose of ideological monoculture.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show heavily foregrounds identity and race at the center of its premise, often prioritizing these themes over nuanced character development or organic plot progression. It appears that character motivations and narrative arcs sometimes take a backseat to sociopolitical messaging, undercutting the storytelling for the sake of commentary.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, traditional workplace norms, social hierarchies, and even concepts of personal ambition are consistently framed as problematic. Established power structures and cultural foundations are rewritten or challenged explicitly through a modern ideological lens, leaving little room for more traditional viewpoints.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Divergent viewpoints are presented primarily as outdated or villainous, while the dominant narrative pushes a single set of moral values. There’s barely any sincere engagement with alternative perspectives, reinforcing a strong ideological monoculture throughout the series.
