What We Think

The Rising of the Shield Hero stands as a strong example of a non-woke show. With its focus on classic narrative elements, traditional themes, and a lack of overt ideological messaging, it's refreshingly free from modern Hollywood trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely focuses on traditional storytelling, with character skills and arcs prioritized over identity markers. The protagonist’s hardships are based more on narrative obstacles than modern ideological themes. Forced representation is practically nonexistent, characters' backgrounds serve the plot rather than any visible agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, especially regarding gender and morality, are front and center. Some elements, such as the false accusation plot, actually subvert typical 'woke' narratives. Masculinity, hardship, and family loyalty are key themes, with little to no undermining of traditional roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Any modern ideological commentary is minimal. Alternative viewpoints exist, and the show doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives. Characters have individual motivations, and the world displays a pluralism of values rather than strict adherence to a singular ideology.
