What We Think

If you’re looking for something with an undercurrent of good old-fashioned subversion, "We Are the Wave" certainly delivers. Identity politics take center stage, traditional values get the boot, and alternative viewpoints are barely given a footnote. This is a case study in the modern push for an ideological monoculture, woke through and through.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show emphasizes identity and activism over naturalistic character development. Characters are often defined by their social causes and symbolic presence rather than personal growth or internal conflict. Diverse representation comes across as selected to fit checkboxes, with certain characters seemingly immune to meaningful consequence.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional authority figures, family roles, and cultural norms are depicted as repressive or outdated. The show frequently questions or undermines established values, painting rebellion and radical change as inherently virtuous.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are largely absent or cast as villains and caricatures. There's little room for genuine dissent or nuanced internal debate. The narrative clearly champions one side, leaving traditional perspectives in the dust.
