In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Twelve Forever leans heavily into identity-based storytelling at the expense of substance, consistently subverting traditional values and presenting a fairly one-note, contemporary worldview. There’s little room here for classic, non-woke sensibilities.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Twelve Forever’s focus on identity, especially with the protagonist’s pronounced quirks and crushes, often seems to overshadow deeper character development or substantive story arcs. Much of the cast appears to be crafted more for representing various personality and identity types rather than unique, skill-driven roles within the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series largely avoids traditional depictions of family, adulthood, or conventional values, and often frames growing up and related responsibilities in a negative light. Masculinity is occasionally treated with a lack of seriousness, while parental and authority figures are pushed to the background or portrayed comically.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There is little to no meaningful presence for alternative worldviews, traditional roles or dissenting perspectives are virtually absent or played purely for jokes. The moral messaging is thoroughly modern, with few moments of internal debate or cultural pluralism throughout.
