Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on character growth, social isolation, and empathy, not identity politics. The cast is diverse in personality, but not defined by modern ideological metrics like race, gender, or sexuality. The narrative avoids forced representation or characters being flawless simply due to their background.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as friendship, perseverance, and family struggles are central. The show does not mock or undermine foundational cultural values. There is little to no attempt at subverting gender roles or rewriting tradition to fit current ideological trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present; characters disagree and conflict based on personal motives rather than ideology. While the show encourages acceptance, it avoids presenting dissenters as caricatures of evil or bigotry.
