What We Think

A breath of non-woke air, "The Simulators" emphasizes clever plots and character skills rather than ideological checklists. It avoids the typical tropes of modern woke storytelling, no token characters or heavy-handed lessons, making it refreshingly traditional for its era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Simulators" centers around clever problem-solving and character-driven plots, rather than using identity politics or forced representation. There's little evidence that character backgrounds are shoehorned in for ideological reasons, focusing instead on skill and teamwork within the story's logic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This show generally respects traditional values, family, friendship, and personal loyalty are front and center. Masculinity isn’t undermined, nor are gender roles aggressively subverted. Themes are rooted in classic morality tales, avoiding overt revisionist takes on culture or tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series features a range of personalities and moral frameworks, presenting obstacles and viewpoints without mocking or reducing traditional perspectives to shallow caricature. There's room in the narrative for competing ideas and moral gray areas, not just a single worldview.
